You’ll need a table of Admin UserIds
local admins = {242324234, 29382492, 3247819392, 283492923}
and then you can check to see if the player is an admin when they join
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
if table.find(admins, plr.UserId) then
-- Clone a panel gui and put it in their PlayerGui
local clone = script.Panel:Clone()
clone.Parent = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui", 5)
end
end)
You’ll also want to check to make sure the player is an admin every time you receive a command from the client via a remote so that exploiters can’t abuse them
adminRemote.OnServerInvoke = function(plr, ...)
if table.find(admins, plr.UserId) then
local args = {...}
--// run command
else
plr:Kick()
end
end

Use DataStores and then add the userid of the target to the admins datastore, and outside of datastores, you can just do what @twinqle said and then do
table.insert(admins, target.UserId)

You could set up an addAdmin event through the remote functoin
local commands = {}
commands.addAdmin = function(args) -- arg1 = PlayerObject
if not table.find(admins, args[1].UserId) then
table.insert(admins, args[1].UserId)
local clone = script.Panel:Clone()
clone.Parent = args[1]:WaitForChild("PlayerGui", 5)
return "Successfully made user " .. args[1].UserId .. " an admin"
else
return "Player is already an admin"
end
end
adminRemote.OnServerInvoke = function(plr, ...)
if table.find(admins, plr.UserId) then
local args = {...}
local commandName = args[1]
local commandArgs = args
table.remove(commandArgs, 1) -- remove the commandName
if commands[commandName] then
return commands[commandName](commandArgs)
else
return commandName .. " is not a valid command"
end
else
plr:Kick()
end
end

Im not trying to make admin commands im trying to make an admin panel but thanks anyways!
Right, but the server handling would be the same. The only difference would be that you’ll be sending requests to the server from the client on a gui instead of directly getting them from the server via .Chatted

@twinqle Could you please tell me how I would do this with a gui? Also I need to know how to get the UserId from the player thats in the textbox. (sorry if this is too much ;-; )
At this point I’d recommend trying to get more accustomed to Lua before trying to create an admin panel, furthermore an open sourced one that people will probably try to learn off of.
If you’re really trying to skip straight to an admin panel, here’s some key factors that you should read up on that you don’t appear to know:
