can’t use ownership or admin abilities | GPORTAL Community | Page 1

I added myself as owner but when I log in my server I can’t use my abilities and when in game it shows no one is the owner. Anyone have a fix for this?

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 9:49 PM

#

I’m having the same issue

#

I’m set as owner but when I load into the game I don’t have the admin menu

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 9:52 PM

#

You have to set yourself as owner while you're in-game

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 9:53 PM

#

While I’m in game? On the Gportal site in the command

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 9:53 PM

#

correct, so just sit AFK in-game and run the command in GPortal

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 9:53 PM

I’m gunna do@it now give me one second

bronze hornet Dec 5, 2023, 9:54 PM

#

Me and my friend are having the same issue on a password protected server. We were both logged into the game and he set himself and I to admin and himself as owner and we still can’t do admin things

buoyant tulip You have to set yourself as owner while you're in-game

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 9:54 PM

#

Just did it and it says I’m owner but when I hit start in game there still is no admin menu

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

I’m on ps5

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

Triangle and X

bronze hornet Dec 5, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

Nothing at all

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

show me the output in your command console

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

I jump

#

Wym

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

hold Triangle first and press X

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 9:56 PM

#

Nothing

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 9:56 PM

#

buoyant tulip show me the output in your command console

.

bronze hornet Dec 5, 2023, 9:56 PM

#

I personally can’t because I’m not server owner was just hoping for help for my buddy

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 9:57 PM

#

He'll need to show the output before I can try assist further

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 9:59 PM

#

bronze hornet Dec 5, 2023, 9:59 PM

#

Ok. I’m asking him to send a screenshot so I can show you

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 9:59 PM

#

See

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 9:59 PM

#

what was the exact command you ran?

#

and PlayStation names can contain hyphens?

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 10:00 PM

#

OwnerID ThroatGoat8–

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 10:00 PM

#

try it with quotes

OwnerID "ThroatGoat8-"

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 10:00 PM

#

Ok one min

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 10:00 PM

#

again, making sure you're in-game

bronze hornet Dec 5, 2023, 10:00 PM

#

What about for the Xbox gamertag Thx 4tha kit

#

Is it also in quotes?

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 10:01 PM

#

OwnerID "Thx 4tha kit"

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 10:01 PM

#

Error status code 500

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 10:01 PM

#

you definitely need quotes if it contains spaces

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 10:01 PM

#

thorny root Error status code 500

5XX error is a server-side error, so just wait 5 minutes and try again, it's GPortal being weird

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 10:01 PM

#

Try again to enter it with the hyphens?

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 10:02 PM

#

if your username has hyphens, yes

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 10:03 PM

#

Do I need to remove myself as owner first?

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 10:03 PM

#

no

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 10:03 PM

#

Ok

bronze hornet Dec 5, 2023, 10:03 PM

#

What if it says basically that admin has been given to that player but it won’t let you “admin” the server?

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 10:04 PM

#

that happens, normally because the admin isn't in-game when its set

bronze hornet Dec 5, 2023, 10:04 PM

#

I’ve been in the server the last two days whilst my friend had set me to admin and it didn’t work

#

This is where I’m confused.

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 10:05 PM

#

does he have owner?

#

if so, he can just give you admin through the playerlist

bronze hornet Dec 5, 2023, 10:07 PM

#

He did the code whilst in the game. I look at the player list and nothing happens to his name in the player list. And he’s not under Owner tab.

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 10:08 PM

#

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 10:08 PM

#

I see the problem

#

your quotes aren't the straight ones

#

iOS uses slightly curved quotes

#

you need the straight ones

#

just copy and paste this:

#

OwnerID "ThroatGoat8-"

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 10:09 PM

#

Ok I’ll try now

#

#

Do I need to restart rust now or log or does it take a few mins

buoyant tulip Dec 5, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

as long as you're in-game, should work instantly

thorny root Dec 5, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

I’m in game and still nothing

#

It just popped up

#

YOU ARE A ABSOLUTE FN LEGEND BRO

@buoyant tulip hey I can’t get admin or owner on my sever can you help me please

buoyant tulip Dec 6, 2023, 12:37 AM

#

Show me your console

#

@buoyant tulip that what we tried but everyone we get in we don’t have it

#

Everyone

#

Every time

buoyant tulip Dec 6, 2023, 12:43 AM

#

Try and give yourself admin without the hashtag in your gamertag

#

Games don't count the hashtag

dry nova Dec 6, 2023, 12:43 AM

#

Do they need to be in the server when executing the ownerID command?

buoyant tulip Dec 6, 2023, 12:43 AM

buoyant tulip Dec 6, 2023, 12:43 AM

#

dry nova Do they need to be in the server when executing the ownerID command?

The person receiving owner / admin, yes

dry nova Dec 6, 2023, 12:44 AM

#

I’d start there, I only just found that out a minute ago and didn’t tell them that

buoyant tulip Dec 6, 2023, 12:44 AM

#

I think it's definitely the hashtag that's the issue in this case

dry nova Dec 6, 2023, 12:44 AM

#

I’ll leave you to it, I’m to tired to function rn but thanks for the help

unique bluff Dec 6, 2023, 12:47 AM

#

It’s just like this OwnerID gamertag no hashtag
AdminID gamertag no hashtag

fervent blaze Dec 6, 2023, 12:51 AM

#

It work thank so much @buoyant tulip
