The FiveM admin menu that comes with every server is the txAdmin menu. Add yourself as an admin in txAdmin's Admin Manager with your Cfx.re or Discord account linked, join the server and type /tx (or /txadmin) in the chat to open it. What each admin sees depends on the permissions you tick for them. For commands from your framework or other scripts, give rights with ACE lines (add_ace and add_principal) in server.cfg.
Below: how to set up the menu, the permission list, a key bind, the ACE side, and fixes for the usual "no permission" problem.
What the txAdmin menu does
txAdmin is part of the FiveM server (FXServer). Its menu documentation describes the in-game menu as common admin functions, an online player browser and a trimmed-down version of the web panel. In practice that covers:
- A player list with each player's ID, and actions on each one: message, warn, kick, ban, freeze, spectate or teleport.
- Self tools: noclip, god mode, super jump and heal.
- Vehicle tools: spawn and fix vehicles.
- Server announcements and clearing an area of the world.
No extra resource is needed. You only need a txAdmin admin account linked to the identity you play with.
How to open the FiveM admin menu
- Open the txAdmin web panel and sign in with the master account you created during setup.
- Go to Admin Manager and add an admin, or edit your own account.
- Link a Cfx.re or Discord identifier to the account. The docs are clear: without one of them you cannot open the menu.
- Tick the permissions this admin needs (see the table below) and save.
- In txAdmin's settings, check that the menu is enabled (the
txAdmin-menuEnabledsetting). - Join the server with the same Cfx.re or Discord account.
- Type
/txor/txadminin the chat. The menu opens on the main page.
To open it with a key, go to the game's Settings > Key Bindings > FiveM and set (txAdmin) Menu: Open Main Page. Each player sets their own key, on their own PC.
txAdmin permissions for the admin menu
The txAdmin permissions list decides which menu buttons work for each admin. The ones that matter most in game:
| Permission | What it allows |
|---|---|
all_permissions | Everything. Give it only to owners |
players.kick / players.ban | Kick, ban and unban |
players.warn / players.direct_message | Warn and message players |
players.playermode | NoClip, God Mode and Superjump |
players.teleport / players.spectate | Teleport and spectate |
players.heal / players.freeze | Heal and freeze |
menu.vehicle | Spawn and fix vehicles |
menu.clear_area | Reset an area of the world |
announcement | Send announcements |
control.server | Start, stop and restart the server |
A good split for a roleplay city: moderators get kick, warn, spectate, teleport and direct message; senior staff add ban and vehicles; only owners get all_permissions and manage.admins. Permissions are saved in txData/admins.json.
ACE permissions: rights outside txAdmin
The txAdmin menu uses txAdmin's own accounts. Your framework's admin commands and many scripts use FiveM's ACE system instead, set in server.cfg. A common setup, also used in our guide to making a FiveM server:
add_ace group.admin command allow
add_ace group.admin command.quit deny
add_principal identifier.fivem:1234567 group.adminadd_ace group.admin command allowgives theadmingroup every command.command.quit denykeeps them from shutting the server down from the game.add_principalputs a player in that group. Replacefivem:1234567with the player's real identifier, which you can see in the txAdmin player list.
Frameworks often add their own groups on top. Check your framework's docs; our QBCore vs ESX comparison helps if you have not picked one yet. Restart the server after editing server.cfg.
How to do it on TheGameHosting
- Make a backup in Backups before you touch
server.cfg. - Open Files and edit
server.cfgin the browser to add your ACE lines. - Open the txAdmin web panel to add admins. If you do not know its address on your server, ask our support team on live chat.
- Restart from Console and test
/txin game.
FiveM admin menu not opening: fixes
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
/tx does nothing or says no permission | No admin account matches you | Add yourself in Admin Manager with your Cfx.re or Discord linked |
| Menu opens but buttons are grey | Missing permissions | Tick them for that admin and save |
| Works for you, not for a new admin | Their identifier is not linked | Link their Cfx.re or Discord account |
| Framework commands refused | ACE not set | Add add_principal for that player in server.cfg and restart |
| Key bind does nothing | Not set on that PC | Set it in Settings > Key Bindings > FiveM |

FAQ

Type /tx or /txadmin in the chat. It only opens if you are an admin in txAdmin's Admin Manager with your Cfx.re or Discord identifier linked.
How do I give someone admin on my FiveM server?
Add them in txAdmin's Admin Manager and tick their permissions. For framework commands, also add add_principal with their identifier in server.cfg.
What is the best FiveM admin menu?
Start with the txAdmin menu: it comes with the server, needs no extra resource and is controlled by per-admin permissions. Add a framework admin script only if you need more.

Yes. In the game go to Settings > Key Bindings > FiveM and bind "(txAdmin) Menu: Open Main Page".
