Setting Up Admin and Community Groups

How to setup admin and community groups

In 2.3 we added the ability to display admins on the scoreboard with an Admin tag using integration with the Steam Community. We also added this support for Server Groups that can use a custom tag relating to the name of their server for building communities around your server.

The first step is to create your admin or community group in the Steam Community.

Next load up the game and type the command list_community_groups. This command will list out every group you have a membership to and give their ids. Find the name of the group you would like for your admin or community and note its id.

Next you will type either sv_admin_groupid xxx or sv_community_groupid xxx. The identification of players will only occur on those new players joining or when the server changes to a new map. For the community group there is also an sv_community_grouptag xxx which lets you specify a tag to use for your server group.

If your admin(s) or community members want to go stealth and not be noted as an admin/community member they can go to their Options-Multiplayer-Advanced and uncheck the show special player status in scoreboard checkbox.

Is it possible to have steamid specific player tags? That is, without creating a group for each player that wants to have a different tag?

Crazytalk

No, it works for groups only

Dr. O

Can the Admin-tag be changed to something else? Is there somethink like sv_admin_grouptag xxx?

I could change it in the next patch

You mean you could make the "Admin" tag editable instead of having a fixed one?

That would be great
