Config templates

A config template is a reusable set of server config files. Apply it when creating servers so they all share the same rates, rules and settings.

Creating a template

1. Open Servers → Config templates (or the + next to it in the sidebar).
2. Give it a name and pick the game — starter config files are seeded for you.
3. Edit the files (e.g. GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini for ARK) and save.

Folders

Use the pencil (✎) next to Config templates in the sidebar to create folders (e.g. PvP, PvE). Assign a template to a folder with the Group dropdown in the templates table; the folder then shows only its own templates, while Overview lists them all.

Applying — automatic on every start

Select the template when you add a server. From then on the template's .ini files are written to the server automatically every time it starts or restarts — so the template is the single source of truth. Edit the template, restart the server, and the new rates/rules are live in-game.

In-game admins

Add a player's EOS / platform id to the template's Admin IDs field (one per line). On the next start the panel writes them to the server's allow-list (AllowedCheaterAccountIDs.txt) so those players are admins in-game — no password needed. Anyone can also become admin with EnableCheats <admin password> in the in-game console.
