Fixed version:

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>

public Plugin:myinfo = {
    name        = "Premium Particles",
    author        = "Party Cow",
    description = "Makes 'premium' users able to get special particle effects",
    version        = "0",
    url            = "http://www.pcquad.de"
}

public OnPluginStart()
{
    CreateTimer(0.1, TimerSpawnParticles, _,TIMER_REPEAT|TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE)
}

public Action:TimerSpawnParticles(Handle:timer)
{
    for (new i = 0; i <= MaxClients+1; i++)
    {
        if (IsClientInGame(i) && IsPlayerAlive(i))
        {
            decl String:theUserId[256];
            GetClientAuthString(i, theUserId, sizeof(theUserId))
            if (StrEqual(theUserId, "STEAM_0:0:46526974"))
            {
                CreateParticle("cowmangler_impact_charged_child_electro", 1.0, i, NO_ATTACH)
            }
        }
    }
} 


You should study more Sourcemod Scripting

[Oshizu]

Something like this:

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>

new String:Premiums[] = {"STEAM_0:0:46526974"}

public Plugin:myinfo = {
    name        = "Premium Particles",
    author        = "Party Cow",
    description = "Makes 'premium' users able to get special particle effects",
    version        = "0",
    url            = "http://www.pcquad.de"
}

public OnPluginStart()
{
    CreateTimer(0.1, Timer:TimerSpawnParticles, _,TIMER_REPEAT|TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE)
}

public Action:TimerSpawnParticles(Handle:timer)
{
    for (new i = 0; i <= MaxClients+1; i++)
    {
        if (IsClientInGame(i) && IsPlayerAlive(i))
        {
            decl String:theUserId[256];
            GetClientAuthString(i, theUserId, sizeof(theUserId))
            if(StrEqual(theUserId, Premiums))
            {
                CreateParticle("cowmangler_impact_charged_child_electro", 1.0, i, NO_ATTACH)
            }
        }
    }
} 


Might be not working thought

Premium string is defined at very start of the plugin
So you will be able to do whatever you with it below.

I'm not sure wherhe you got CreateParticle() stuff
I assume it was from [TF2] Self-Made Trail
So put this into code:

PHP Code:

stock Handle:CreateParticle(String:type[], Float:time, entity, attach=NO_ATTACH, Float:xOffs=0.0, Float:yOffs=0.0, Float:zOffs=0.0)
{
    particle = CreateEntityByName("info_particle_system");
    
    if (IsValidEdict(particle))
    {
        decl Float:pos[3];
        GetEntPropVector(entity, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", pos);
        pos[0] += xOffs;
        pos[1] += yOffs;
        pos[2] += zOffs;
        TeleportEntity(particle, pos, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
        DispatchKeyValue(particle, "effect_name", type);

        if (attach != NO_ATTACH)
        {
            SetVariantString("!activator");
            AcceptEntityInput(particle, "SetParent", entity, particle, 0);
        
            if (attach == ATTACH_HEAD)
            {
                SetVariantString("head");
                AcceptEntityInput(particle, "SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset", particle, particle, 0);
            }
        }
        DispatchKeyValue(particle, "targetname", "present");
        DispatchSpawn(particle);
        ActivateEntity(particle);
        AcceptEntityInput(particle, "Start");
    }
    else
    {
        LogError("(CreateParticle): Could not create info_particle_system");
    }
    
    return INVALID_HANDLE;
}

I assume you took this snippet and forgot to put it together.
So here are things you lack

PHP Code:

#include <sdktools> 


Including SDKTOOLS Libary
Defines for attachments for client

PHP Code:

#define NO_ATTACH 0
#define ATTACH_NORMAL 1
#define ATTACH_HEAD 2 


Also this tiny busta used to call particle entity:

PHP Code:

new particle; 


Resulting in probatly working code:

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>

#define NO_ATTACH 0
#define ATTACH_NORMAL 1
#define ATTACH_HEAD 2

new particle;
new String:Premiums[] = {"STEAM_0:0:46526974"}

public Plugin:myinfo = {
    name        = "Premium Particles",
    author        = "Party Cow",
    description = "Makes 'premium' users able to get special particle effects",
    version        = "0",
    url            = "http://www.pcquad.de"
}

public OnPluginStart()
{
    CreateTimer(0.1, Timer:TimerSpawnParticles, _,TIMER_REPEAT|TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE)
}

public Action:TimerSpawnParticles(Handle:timer)
{
    for (new i = 0; i <= MaxClients+1; i++)
    {
        if (IsClientInGame(i) && IsPlayerAlive(i))
        {
            decl String:theUserId[256];
            GetClientAuthString(i, theUserId, sizeof(theUserId))
            if(StrEqual(theUserId, Premiums))
            {
                CreateParticle("cowmangler_impact_charged_child_electro", 1.0, i, NO_ATTACH)
            }
        }
    }
}

stock Handle:CreateParticle(String:type[], Float:time, entity, attach=NO_ATTACH, Float:xOffs=0.0, Float:yOffs=0.0, Float:zOffs=0.0)
{
    particle = CreateEntityByName("info_particle_system");
    
    if (IsValidEdict(particle))
    {
        decl Float:pos[3];
        GetEntPropVector(entity, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", pos);
        pos[0] += xOffs;
        pos[1] += yOffs;
        pos[2] += zOffs;
        TeleportEntity(particle, pos, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
        DispatchKeyValue(particle, "effect_name", type);

        if (attach != NO_ATTACH)
        {
            SetVariantString("!activator");
            AcceptEntityInput(particle, "SetParent", entity, particle, 0);
        
            if (attach == ATTACH_HEAD)
            {
                SetVariantString("head");
                AcceptEntityInput(particle, "SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset", particle, particle, 0);
            }
        }
        DispatchKeyValue(particle, "targetname", "present");
        DispatchSpawn(particle);
        ActivateEntity(particle);
        AcceptEntityInput(particle, "Start");
    }
    else
    {
        LogError("(CreateParticle): Could not create info_particle_system");
    }
    
    return INVALID_HANDLE;
}

hey, why not use SM admin system... ?

admins.cfg

/**
 * USE THIS SECTION TO DECLARE DETAILED ADMIN PROPERTIES.

 * Each admin should have its own "Admin" section, followed by a name.
 * The name does not have to be unique.
 *
 * Available properties: (Anything else is filtered as custom)
 *      "auth"          - REQUIRED - Auth method to use.  Built-in methods are:
 *                        "steam"  - Steam based authentication
 *                        "name"   - Name based authentication
 *                        "ip"	- IP based authentication
 *                        Anything else is treated as custom.
 *					 Note: Only one auth method is allowed per entry.
 *
 *      "identity"      - REQUIRED - Identification string, for example, a steamid or name.
 *					 Note: Only one identity is allowed per entry.
 *
 *      "password"      - Optional password to require.
 *      "group"         - Adds one group to the user's group table.
 *      "flags"         - Adds one or more flags to the user's permissions.
 *		"immunity"		- Sets the user's immunity level (0 = no immunity).
 *						  Immunity can be any value.  Admins with higher 
 *						  values cannot be targetted.  See sm_immunity_mode 
 *						  to tweak the rules.  Default value is 0.

CheckCommandAccess

The purpose of stuff that Bacardi posted is diffrent than you think
He's using admins & admin groups configs to make specific grou pof steamids restricted stuff features
