-The '''admin''' is the player in charge of controlling the server. If an admin is present, his or her name would be highlighted in red on the scoreboard.

+The '''admin''' is the player in charge of controlling the server. He/She is, or has been given a password by, the server owner and is entrusted with the [[Server administration|responsibility]] of ensuring fair, fun play in the server. If an admin is active, his or her name will be highlighted in red on the scoreboard. The admin is able to perform several actions, such as switching [[Gamemode|gamemode]]s and [[map]]s, [[kick]]ing and [[ban]]ning players, changing the [[master mode]], using [[forceteam]] to switch a player's team and several other commands, without the approval of other players. This is because, in the AC [[voting system]], an admin has the deciding vote.
-==Commands when beeing an admin==
+==/setadmin==
-* /kick cn - Kicks a player from a server. Replace cn with that player's [[client number]].
+A player sets him/herself as admin by issuing the command "/setadmin 1 ''password''". If the player types a password that is not recognised by the server, their client is kicked. Typos and the possibility of 'saying' the password to the HUD (by omitting the '/') make binding server passwords to keys or [[CubeScript|scripts]] a better alternative. Claiming admin will remove the status from an existing admin.
-* /ban cn - Bans a player from a server for 20 minutes. Replace cn with that player's client number.
-* /setmastermode x - Makes the server public/private. Number 1 for private, 0 for public.
+==Becoming an Admin==
-* /autoteam x - 1 turns autoteam on. 0 turns autoteam off.
+Server owners can set one or more admin passwords in the [http://wiki.cubers.net/action/view/Server_hints_1.0.4#serverpwd.cfg server configuration]. Passwords can be given to those players, or entire [[clan]]s, that the server owner trusts. It's common for a clan that runs its own server/s to give admin passwords to all its clan members. There are also 'server share' schemes, where server owners agree to share admin passwords amongst each other to ensure a large admin availability on frequently used servers.
-* /forceteam cn - Forces a player to join the other team. Replace cn with his client number.
+If you wish to obtain an admin password for a server, speak to the owner or clan via their forum, email, in game or in [[IRC]].
-* /whois cn - Shows the full IP adress of a player.
-* /removebans - Removes bans.
