-You want to find out your SteamID using a website like [https://steamid.io/ steamid.io]. Enter your steam community URL to the site and you should get set of info that includes your <code>steamID</code>, which should be in <code>STEAM_0:1:16</code> format.

-Open the file <code>/opt/tf2classic/server/tf2classic/addons/sourcemod/configs/admins_simple.ini</code> with a text editor, <code>nano</code> already familiar candidate. The file will be full of guidance and additional information how the file works for new users inside slashes. Do not worry about leaving all of it into the file as every line beginning with number of slashes are simply ignored, so this full looking file is empty as it comes to how SourceMod handles it.

-Replace <code>STEAM_0:1:16</code> with your own or your master administrator's steamID that you extracted with afformentioned [https://steamid.io steamid.io] for example. "99:z" in this case assigns high umminity and root (full) access for administration. You can add more people to <code>admins_simple.ini</code> file but you should limit their access to the server by using examples within the file itself and documentation from SourceMod's wiki: https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Adding_Admins_(SourceMod)

-Save, exit and start/restart your server and everything should be running fine. You can make sure of this by typing <code>meta version</code> in your server console (or RCON). You should see a line like <code>"Loaded As: Valve Server Plugin."</code>. Additionally, if you assigned yourself as an administrator for the server, typing <code>!admin</code> or <code>/admin</code> in chat should bring up administrative menu on player hud. <code>sm_admin</code> should additionally work when typed in to your client console window, and you can use <code>sm_rcon</code> to use SourceMod to relay any console command to the server, if you set yourself up with <code>z</code> flag.

 Further tweaking of SourceMod to suit your needs is out of scope for this guide. You can get familiar with SourceMod's other functions and configuration in their wiki: [https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Category:SourceMod_Documentation wiki.alliedmods.net/Category:SourceMod_Documentation]
+Additionally, if you have setup RCON on your server before setting up SourceMod, you should disable it by wiping <code>RCON_PASSWORD</code> empty in <code>server.cfg</code>. After it is working, using SourceMod and <code>sm_rcon</code> for RCON commands is more secure for publicly hosted servers.
