# Truck Simulator | How to Add a Moderator to your ETS2/ATS Server

# How to Add a Moderator to your Euro Truck Simulator 2/American Truck Simulator Server (ETS2 & ATS)

In this guide we will learn how you can add moderator to your ETS2/ATS server, since the working of the server is same for both the game server we're creating this one guide only! In ETS2/ATS, moderators are players granted the permission to adjust the in-game time. They can do this by issuing the command `/set_time HH:MM` in the chat.
**But before we start, you must have the Steam ID of player to make them moderator. [Click Here](https://help.skynode.pro/en/article/truck-simulator-how-to-find-your-steam-id-1trxho1/?bust=1697351045501) to read the guide on how to get the Steam ID**

## Access Game Panel
1. Access the [game panel](https:panel.skynode.pro).
2. Stop your ETS2 or ATS server.

## Navigate to Config Files
3. On the game panel, navigate to "File Manager"
4. Follow this path to locate the server configuration file: `.local / share / Euro Truck Simulator 2`.
5. Find the `server_config.sii` in Euro Truck Simulator 2 folder and open it.
|| Note: Depending on the game server you own, you will have either `Euro Truck Simulator 2` or `American Truck Simulator` Folder. But all the steps are same for both the server!

## Add Moderators
6. After opening the config file, locate `moderator_list: 0`.
7. **Carefully make the following changes:** remove the `0` and add `[0]` between `moderator_list` and `:`, so it should look like this: `moderator_list[0]:`
8. Now, paste the Steam ID of the player you want to make a moderator after `moderator_list[0]:`
| For example, if the Steam ID is 12345, it should look like this: `moderator_list[0]: 12345`

## Save and Start
9. Save the changes you made to the configuration.
10. Start your server.

| To add more moderators, follow the same steps. If you've already added your first moderator and open the config file again, you will notice a new line like `moderator_list: 1`. Simply remove the `1` and add `[1]` between `moderator_list` and `:`, as you did in the 7th step. Then paste the Steam ID and you're done! Every time you add a new moderator, you will have a new line in the format `moderator_list: x`, and the steps remain the same!


### That's it! You've successfully added moderators to your Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator server, Enjoy Trucking!
