I new to hosting anything steam related, I have just setup my first Gmod Server on my Windows 7 Dedi Box.
I have not added any mods or addons its still pristine stock. I'm setting this server up for me and my buddies to jump on and just do random stuff, I have successfully gave my self admin rights from the user.txt. When I only add my self as "superadmin" I can do admin cleanup, when I give my self "owner" rights I cannot use admin cleanup and as far as I know when I'm set as "owner" I have no more powers then a regular user.
Let me rant for a second, in the scripting/lua is shows in the code "owner" is higher then "superadmin" so why I don't have as much powers as "superadmin" is beyond me please l2c who ever made this pile of shit.
I also cannot use console commands like sv_cheats also I'm not able to disable AI while im set as "superadmin" or "owner". (This is my main problem, I would like the ability to use sv_cheats and be able to disable ai from in game and not logging into RDC and typing it in to the server console on my win box. (If anyone has a solution for this I would love you forever help a newb out I've googled and googled have found nothing at all to provide me a solution.)
Here is another rant: Upon typing sv_cheats 1 for example I get this back:
[CODE]Can't change replicated ConVar sv_cheats from console of client, only server operator can change this value.[/CODE]
but wow wait a second.... check this out:
[CODE]Hey 'Nazban' - You're in the 'owner' group on this server.[/CODE]
Damn seems who ever programmed this screwed the hole administration system up on purpose so we the idiots who have to run and use this software have to go in and fix it without an open source seems legit...
Ok I'm done ranting here, If you guys have any solutions on how I can use ANY console command and disable ai while im IN THE FING GAME please let me know, I have been looking at admin mods but it seems like I'm just throwing a administration system made from a 3rd party into a system that already does not work from the start.
Edit: Oh here is another thing garrysmod does not have a server.cfg? I can't set my servers name, and other stuff like that I have to type it all into a console everytime I wanto start my gmod server? I cannot run the srcds.exe I have to use console commands to get a server running.
"owner" is not a valid group.
Superadmin, admin and user are the only groups there are.

That is not what it says in the code, Owner is higher but does not work at all so I do not use owner. I use Superadmin. If you guys have any real solutions please feel free to share thanks all.
What? The sandbox gamemode only has three ranks. Owner Is not one of them. I don't know what code you're talking about but it certainly isn't sandbox's.
Okay, Let's go problem by problem here.
Sv_cheats needs to be changed officially through your server CONSOLE, or placed in a line in <insertfile containing rcon_password and such settings here.> (Completely blanking on its name)
Superadmin is the highest rank. "owner" doesn't have any access rights attributed to it by default. Making it the same as a regular user.
Garrysmod DOES have a server.cfg. It's just named differently. Now, since you are using SRCDS.exe I'm not sure on if these files are titled differently or what the dealio is. (I typically use paid hosts..)
I'm sure tutorials exist on youtube and such on how to do what it is, you are askin,

Wrong. You have to create it yourself.
Open a notepad file and put in the details you want for your server, obv using the correct format. When you're done, file, save as and save it as server.cfg
