FAQ
Answers to a few of your commonly asked questions:
Is HD Admin free?
It's 100% free to install and use in your Roblox game, including its 200+ commands and 20+ themes.
Is HD Admin safe?
HD Admin has a decade of history working closely with Roblox and top developers to ensure its safety and compliance. Its source code is public on GitHub so you can read exactly what runs in your game. Its lead developer Ben has over 15 years of experience directly programming and developing on Roblox.
Can I earn money from an admin system?
With HD Admin, yes. You can very easily connect your own gamepasses, accessories and other products to roles and commands which other players can buy. There's minimal setup and everything can be configured in-game. Our top creators earn over $250,000 USD a year this way. See Monetisation for more details.
Do old school chat commands still work?
Yep. Chat commands work as they always did. Our new interface and command bar means everything can now be easily configured and run via UI, which is ideal for mobile players or players who can't chat, but they don't replace traditional chat commands.
Does HD Admin work on mobile?
The panel fully supports mobile, so staff and players on phones get the same tools as on desktop.
How do I install it?
Take the HD Admin model and drop it into Workspace or ServerScriptService. That's the whole install. Installation walks through it, and Why HD Admin covers your first steps.
Why don't my commands work in another game?
Roles are set per experience. Being the Owner of your game doesn't carry over to anyone else's, so the only way to use commands in another game is for its owner to give you a role there.
Can I turn off auto updates?
Auto updates are on by default. Each server loads the latest release at startup, so fixes reach your game without republishing, and the copy bundled inside the model still runs if an update can't be fetched.
You can turn auto updates off by selecting the HD Admin model in Studio, going to the Attributes section of Properties, adding an attribute named AutoUpdate of type boolean, and setting its value to false. You'll miss security and performance fixes until you turn it back on, so we strongly recommend against it.
Warning
Modifying the MainModule, or running a modified copy, in any public experience violates the licence. Private experiences are the one exception.
Does HD Admin have a web dashboard?
Yes, we have an additional dashboard.hdadmin.com where you can manage your HD Admin games remotely.
How does HD Admin make its money?
We earn from extensions like Themes and Commands that we sell via our store, and paid plans that users can optionally upgrade to within their dashboard. We also provide visual-upgrades in-game that players can unlock, such as cosmetics in About. 40% of this revenue goes directly to you the game developer, then 30% to us, 30% Roblox.
Which admin system is best for a large game?
HD Admin was built with some of the largest experiences on Roblox, including partnership with do_small, to run past 100,000 live servers. Bans, role grants and global commands reach every live server in seconds, and any server that starts later. Cross-Server covers more details.
Where do I report a bug or suggest a feature?
At our new forum. You can post bugs on the Bugs board, ideas on the Suggestions board and questions on the Help board. Sign in with your Roblox account and you'll get a notification when we reply or publish it.
Which admin system do most Roblox games use?
