Problem Description

Issue

Was trying to add an owner id to a Rust server.
Some posts suggest two ways to do it:

• via RCON App command
• via updating the users.cfg file

So here I tried the file way:

• written ownerid 76561198123456789 "TomSmith" "" to /AMP/rust/258000/server/my_server_identity/cfg/users.cfg, via AMP web page’s File Manager.
• restart the Rust Instance
  However, it won’t work. The file file will be back to empty after the restart, plus, in the game, F1 → Weapon → $AnyWeapon ARM won’t add it to the inventory.

Could you please advise how to do the file way correctly?

Reproduction Steps

• add “ownserid a-steam64-id steam-user reason-to-add” to /AMP/rust/258000/server/my_server_identity/cfg\users.cfg
• click “save”
• get into AMP’s docker container, and echo the cfg file, it should it is been writtern.
• restart the Rust Instance from AMP
• The cfg file is still empty.

Hi Greelan,

Tried ownerid "76561198123456789" "TomSmith" "reason-to-add", still, the file will back to empty after restart the instance.

Tried get into its container via docker exec -it amp-rust-container bash, then edit the file with the content directly, this leads to the same result after the restart.
The commands for the editing:

root@rs:/# echo "ownerid \"76561198123456789\" \"TomSmith\" \"some-reasons\"" > /AMP/rust/258550/server/my_server_identity/cfg/users.cfg
root@rs:/# cat /AMP/rust/258000/server/my_server_identity/cfg/users.cfg
ownerid "76561198123456789" "TomSmith" "some-reasons"
