So here's a short but hopefully beneficial tutorial on how to add admins in AMXX (any version):
Before you can do any of this, you must have AMX Mod X installed. For help doing that, click here.1. Get your SteamID, and the SteamIDs of anyone you're giving admin to. For help finding that, refer
here.
2. Head to your control panel. This is where you start, stop, restart, and do basic changes on your server. If you're unsure what yours is or where to find it, ask your game server provider.
3. Depending on what control panel your provider uses, the navigation tree might be different. I will be using TCAdmin, as it's one of the most popular and widely used. Most other panels should follow the general trend.
Please Note: Adding admins is NOT dependent on control panel 4. Now that you're at your control panel and have SteamIDs handy, you're ready to add the admins. From the control panel, select your server. From there, move to the 'cstrike' directory. Select the 'addons' folder (this is created when AMXX is installed. It will
not be there without AMXX installed.) From the 'addons' folder, go to 'amxmodx', than to 'configs', and than to the 'users.ini'. (

The tree looks like this: Server -> Cstrike -> Addons - amxmodx -> Configs -> users.ini
5. Once you open the users.ini, you will see a bunch of ; in front of the lines. That is a comment, it basically makes entries after it a null point, so it's not read. Use those for commenting. All of those letters you see represent certain permissions, which is what makes AMXX very flexible. You can assign different permissions and levels of admin to different users - make sure you trust those you give all access to
6. Within the users.ini files, you see all the options you have. You can make AMXX verify by SteamID and password, without password, how to exec the password if you choose to do it. The possibilities are endless, and hence outside the realm of a basic how-to. PM me if you need assistance with advanced configs
7. From here, move on to the bottom of the config file. If, for example, the SteamID is "STEAM_0:0:123456", and you want them to have full access, you'll want the line to look like this (
Image 2):
"STEAM_0:0:123456" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "ce"
8. Now, back to the ; comments we spoke about. For your own records, you can note the ID by your friends name. Say your buddy Bill is SteamID "STEAM_0:0:12345678", and you want him to have full permissions, and don't want to forget it's him. Than, you'll input this(
Image 3):
; This is Bills ID
"STEAM_0:0:123456" "" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu" "ce"
9. There is
NO limit to the amount of admins you can add, so don't sweat that.
10. Save the changes, restart the server, and go frag with some new toys
If anyone has any questions, or anything they want to add, feel free to reply or comment, I'll edit the post accordingly.
