This file holds the settings for who is banned, whitelisted,
admins and server command permissions. The admin and whitelist sections can contain
both individual Steam users as well as Steam groups.

STEAM ID INSTRUCTIONS:
===============================================================
You can find the SteamID64 of any user with one of the following pages:
https://steamdb.info/calculator/, https://steamid.io/lookup, http://steamid.co/
http://steamid.co/ instructions:
Input the player's name in the search field. example: Kinyajuu
If the name doesn't work, you can also use the url of their steam page.
Also you may add/remove admins, mods, whitelist, blacklist using in game commands.
You will want the STEAM64ID. example: 76561198021925107

STEAM GROUP ID INSTRUCTIONS:
===============================================================
You can find the SteamID64 of any group by taking its address and adding
/memberslistxml/?xml=1
to the end. You will get the XML information of the group which should have an entry
memberList->groupID64.
Example: The 'Steam Universe' group has the address
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamuniverse
So you point your browser to
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamuniverse/memberslistxml/?xml=1
And see that the groupID64 is 103582791434672565.

===============================================================
permission level : 0-1000, a user may run any command equal to or above their permission level.
Users not given a permission level in this file will have a default permission level of 1000!

COMMAND PERMISSIONS INSTRUCTIONS:
===============================================================

Commands not specified in this file will have a default permission level of 0!

Maybe your serverconfig.xml is pointing to a different save folder and thus a different serveradmin file.

Your server log will show you where it is loading the serveradmin.xml file from.

is that normal ? seems to be taking the serverconfig.xml and making a custom version ? but as for the file path, they seem to be setup correctly.

Path is absolute. Are your folders really *'s?
