Managing an Arma Reforger server involves more than just technical configuration; it is an opportunity to create unique scenarios in real-time. Obtaining Administrator and Game Master rights allows you to control gameplay, moderate players, and use the powerful editor directly during combat.

Server Preparation: Configuring Access Rights

To become an admin, you must set an administrator password in advance. This can be done through the NodePlay App game panel.

Setting the Admin Password

  1. Log in to the game panel.

  2. Stop the server.

  3. Navigate to the Game Settings section.

  4. Locate the Admin Password field.

  5. Create and enter a secure password.

  6. Start the server.

After configuring the server, you need to authenticate directly within the game.

  1. Connect to your Arma Reforger server.

  2. Open the in-game chat (default key Enter).

  3. Enter the authorization command:

#login YourPassword

Enter the password you specified earlier. Upon successful entry, you will receive a notification that you have logged into the system.

Game Master Mode

Unlike standard administration, Arma Reforger offers a powerful tool called Game Master — a real-time editor.

  • After entering the #login command, press Esc.

  • A Game Master button will appear in the menu.

  • Click it to enter the mode for free camera control, unit spawning, and weather changes.

List of Administrative Commands

Below is a complete list of essential commands that can be entered in the in-game chat to manage the server and players. All commands start with the # symbol.

| Command | Description | | --- | --- | | #login <password> | Log in to administrator mode. Example: #login 12345 | | #logout | Log out of administrator mode (remove rights) | | #kick <Name/ID> | Kick a player from the server. Example: #kick PlayerOne | | #ban <Name/ID> | Ban a player from the server | | #shutdown | Full server shutdown | | #restart | Restart the current mission (scenario) | | #reassign | Restart the mission with the ability to re-select roles | | #userlist | Show a list of all players and their IDs in the chat | | #vote admin <Name> | Start a vote to appoint an admin (if enabled) | | #vote kick <Name> | Start a vote to kick a player | | #vote restart | Start a vote to restart the mission |

Management Tips

Use Game Master mode to create dynamic situations: you can spawn enemies, change the time of day, or remove stuck vehicles without restarting the server. For quick moderation (kick/ban), it is more convenient to use console chat commands.
