Summary
Don't Starve Together servers can have administrators that function as moderators or game masters for a server. Administrators are users given certain privileges, such as console commands that allow them to Kick or Ban players, spawn items, enter god mode, and more. Users can be given this role by adding their Klei user ID to an admin list text file, which must be manually created. Multiple admins can exist on the server by adding each user's ID to the file per line.
