Does someone know if it's possible to check if an SteamId is an admin, not the client, the SteamId, in other words, I need to check if an SteamId is admin with the player offline.

I'm using PTaH extension (which makes possible getting the SteamId2 of the client before he connects) and I need to check if that SteamId has admin rights. The problem is that the client in that point doesn't have an index, so I can't use "CheckCommandAccess".

I mean, the SteamIds in admins_simple.ini should be stored somewhere, how can I access them? Or can I just parse that file and get the SteamIds by myself?

You want FindAdminByIdentity. The auth types have defines somewhere in admin.inc you should use.

Whatever you get from PTaH ahead of time can be faked if a client is malicious.

cool, tks, but isn't PTaH as safe as this? I found PTaH here, thought it was safe.

It doesn't look like PTaH attempts to do any verification, no. Depending on what you're doing, you may not care since the server will probably eventually kick a client trying to fake his Steam ID after it can't be verified with Steam.

tks. I made 2 verifications on my code, tho, to prevent it, i verified using the extension and also inside "OnClientAuthorized", where I get the true steamid and do:

PHP Code:

if (FindAdminByIdentity("steam", auth) == INVALID_ADMIN_ID)
{
    KickClient(client, "");
}
