How to become an Admin in your Factorio Server
Server Console
The easiest method to give yourself admin is to use the /promote username command in the Console of your Server Control Panel. You will know you're successful when the Console shows username was promoted to admin by <server>.
Manually Edit server-adminlist.json
You can add admins to your server by manually creating or editing a file called server-adminlist.json in the main directory of your File Manager. Using the /promote command in the Console of your server will also create this file automatically and add more players to it.
