Firstly, make sure your admin logs are enabled ! How so ? By adding -adminlog in your server launch options.

Server Launch Options

Now your server should generate new logs files in ADM format in your server profile (or config) folder

You will be able to get Player IDs from this file. However to see the player id of someone, this player must have joined the server while this launch option was active !

Here is a example of what you should find :

2. Granting the player admin role

Now that you have found where to found the player ID, go to :

YourDayZServer\Profile(or config)\PermissionFramework\Players\

You should see one or multiple files with players IDs. Open the file with the player ID you saw in the ADM logs and you should have something similar :

Go inside your server config at YourDayZServer\Profile(or config)\PermissionFramework\Roles\ and delete (or rename) the everyone.txt and admin.txt files. It will force the admin tool to regenerate the files and up to date!
