| ====== Moderation Roles ====== | |
| |
| Dedicated servers store Moderator, Admin, and Owner assignments in ''roles.json'' in the same data area as ''server_settings.json''. | |
| |
| Use SteamID64 values. Invalid or zero IDs are ignored. Founder is derived from the active host/session and is not written to ''roles.json''. | |
| |
| Example: | |
| |
| <file json roles.json> | |
| [ | |
| { | |
| "steamId": 76561190000000000, | |
| "role": "admin" | |
| }, | |
| { | |
| "steamId": 76561190000000001, | |
