## Context

In RuneScape: Dragonwilds, the owner of a dedicated server is the player whose Player ID matches the **Owner ID** set in the configuration. This account has rights no admin has, it can ban and unban any player, online or offline.

The catch is that a mistake does not show. The panel accepts any value and the server starts even with a wrong identifier. In our tests, a made up Owner ID caused no error at launch, simply nobody is recognised as the owner in game.

This guide shows where to find your Player ID in the game and how to set it on your Winheberg server.

## Requirements

- An active [RuneScape: Dragonwilds server](https://winheberg.com/en/gaming/runescape-dragonwilds) on the Winheberg game panel
- The game installed on your computer, with the account that should become owner
- Access to the server's **Startup** and **Files** tabs on [panel.winheberg.com](https://panel.winheberg.com/)

## 1. Copy your Player ID in the game

Launch the game and open the **Settings** menu. Your Player ID is shown at the bottom of this menu, next to a button to copy it.

Use this button rather than typing the identifier by hand. It is a long string of letters and digits, and a single wrong character makes it useless.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Copy the Player ID of the account that should become owner, not the one of a friend playing on the same computer. A server has a single Owner ID.

## 2. Enter it in the Startup tab

On the panel, open the server's **Startup** tab, under **CONFIGURATION** in the side menu. Paste your Player ID into the **OWNER ID** variable, replacing the current value. The panel saves it automatically.

> [!NOTE]
> No need to look for the `DedicatedServer.ini` file. On a Winheberg server, the Owner ID is passed at launch from the **Startup** tab, and a value written in the file is ignored.

## 3. Restart the server

The Owner ID is only read at launch. Click **Restart** at the top of the page and wait for the server to be back online.

## 4. Check the value the server received

At startup, the server writes the Owner ID it received to its log. The panel console scrolls fast, so the easiest way is to open the `RSDragonwilds/Saved/Logs/RSDragonwilds.log` file from the **Files** tab and find the line containing `OwnerId`.

```text
LogNetSessionSettings: Setting ["OwnerId"] written with key[oi] value[YOUR_PLAYER_ID]
```

Compare the value in brackets with the Player ID shown in the game. If they match, you are the server owner.

## Troubleshooting

### ❌ Nobody has owner rights

- Compare the **OWNER ID** value and the Player ID shown in the game character by character
- Remove any space before or after the pasted identifier
- Check that the server was restarted after the change
- Make sure you are signed in to the game with the account whose Player ID you copied

### ❌ The Owner ID goes back to an old value

- You probably edited `DedicatedServer.ini` instead of the **Startup** tab, the server replaces the file's values on every start
- Make the change in the **OWNER ID** variable, then restart

## Need help

If your owner rights still do not apply, open a ticket with our support team from your [client area](https://billing.winheberg.com), **Technical** department, with the server in the **Related Product** field. Our team can check with you the value passed to the server.

The server is officially yours. 🎮
