Added a friend to the admins.sqf

So I added his Player UID to the server/admins.sqf, but when he presses U (For the Admin menu) it doesn't work for him. Did I put something wrong in the file?

// Server Owners: access to everything
   serverOwners = compileFinal str
   [
      // Put player UIDs here
      "************92331"  // his name
   ];

Or does that only work if I run the server through dedicated?

Is your friend first logging in as an admin with the #login <PASSWORD> command?

Nope, cause I don't know where to make an admin account for him to do that though, that's nowhere stated how, I knew how to do that, but that was quite some time ago.

Lots of other good stuff on that page regarding running a server.

Yeah I thought it was through a dedicated server, I got everything setup right, but I keep getting Battleye Initializing failed error, so I can't run the server and I updated the *.dll in the server folder and in appdata. So dunno what it could be.

The "#" chat commands are unrelated to the U-key admin menu. Before writting in "server\admins.sqf", you should check if you have "A3Wasteland_settings\admins.sqf" in your main Arma 3 folder. If you have it, then place your UIDs there instead, as those in the PBO will be ignored.
