Setting Up Rust Server Permissions and Admin Roles

Managing server permissions and admin roles allows you to control who has access to commands, administrative powers, and special privileges on your Rust server. This is essential for moderation, staff management, and preventing abuse.

This guide will walk you through adding admins, setting up permissions, and using Oxide for advanced role management using VolticHost Game Panel.
