    {
    "serverUsers" : {
    "Akira" : {
    "admin" : true,
    "password" : "pardonmedia"
    },
    "Lysator" : {
    "admin" : true,
    "password" : "slinky"
    }
    },
    "allowAdminCommands" : true,
    "allowAdminCommandsFromAnyone" : true,
    "allowAnonymousConnections" : true,
    "allowAssetsMismatch" : true,
    "anonymousConnectionsAreAdmin" : true,

    Looks like this, but when i go to server it tells me that I am not an admin. Do i have to put Akira or Lysator as an username and then password to join server as admin? I tried that and it said there was no account or password was wrong.

    Did you run /admin before trying the other admin commands?

    Code doesn't look right.

    Gimme a sec. I'll update this when I'm done

    Okay. Right click Starbound in your Steam Library, Press Properties, Local Files and Browse Local Files.

    Under the "storage" folder open "starbound_server.config in Notepad++.

    Press CTRL+F and search for "users", Its normally near the bottom.

    Copy and paste this code.

    Obviously you need to change the Usernames and passwords, and change false to True if you want your friend to be an admin

    Click where the arrow is and press Tab (The button left of Q).

    Save it, Open the Win32 folder and launch Starbound_Server.exe and you should be good to go

    Everytime I run the server it gives me this and resets the config file. I've copied and pasted the code above in notepad++ and I can't figure out what's not working. Do i need a language for notepad++ ? All I can fathom is that there's an error where there should be a " somewhere but I don't know what I'm doing.

    [Warn] Root: Failed to load user configuration file ..\storage\starbound_server.config, resetting user config: (JsonParsingException) Error parsing json: bad string, should be '"' at 55: 3
