### Common issues

* **I don't appear in `players`** : join the server for the first time.
* **The admin menu does not appear** : log out, then log back in.
* **The value does not save** : check that you have confirmed the edit.

### FAQ

#### Which adminlevel to choose?

Start with `1` or `2` to test.\
Move to `5` if you need everything.
