Best Practices

Admin Management

  1. Use groups - Easier to manage than individual permissions
  2. Set appropriate immunity - Prevent abuse
  3. Time-limited admin - For trial moderators
  4. Document changes - Keep track of who has what permissions

Permission Assignment

Recommended hierarchy:

Root (@css/root, immunity 99):
  - Server owners only

Senior Admin (@css/ban,@css/kick,@css/chat,@css/changemap, immunity 80):
  - Trusted long-term admins

Moderator (@css/kick,@css/chat, immunity 50):
  - Regular moderators

Trial Mod (@css/kick, immunity 20):
  - New moderators on probation

Security

  1. Limit @css/rcon - Only to server owner
  2. Limit @css/cvar - Only to senior admins
  3. Monitor admin actions - Review logs regularly
  4. Use time-limited admin - For temporary staff
