# Authority Levels & Privileges

In order to have control of your server in-game, you must first assign your GamerTag \[XBOX] or PSN ID \[PlayStation] to be an Owner in the Boot Commands. Go to the custom boot commands section, or the Console and enter:

```bash
OwnerID "Gamertag/PSNID" 
```

{% hint style="success" %}
If your Gamertag or PSN ID has a space in the name, you need to put your name between "quotation marks".
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If you set yourself as owner, you can't give any other role to yourself.&#x20;

_**Keep in mind, Owners have all the permissions from Admins and Moderators.**_
{% endhint %}
