If someone else claimed your Satisfactory server, you can still become an admin by authenticating with the admin password. This gives you access to all server settings and management features.
Prerequisites
- The server must already be claimed
- You need the admin password from whoever claimed the server
Authenticating as Admin
- Launch Satisfactory and open the Server Manager from the main menu.

- Select your server from the list.
- Click on any admin tab such as Server Settings, Create Game, or Manage Saves.
- You'll see a message that you are not authenticated.
- Click Authenticate.
- Enter the Admin Password in the popup and click Confirm.
After Authenticating
Once authenticated, you have full admin access to:
| Tab | Features |
|---|---|
| Status | View server information |
| Create Game | Start new game sessions |
| Server Settings | Configure server options |
| Manage Saves | Upload, download, load, and delete saves |
| Console | Execute server commands |
Your authentication is saved for this server. You won't need to re-enter the password unless the admin password is changed.
Admin Privileges
Admins in Satisfactory can:
- Change server settings (name, passwords, auto-save options)

You're now authenticated as an admin. You have full access to manage your Satisfactory server.
