The /aptmanager command opens a themed NUI panel for managing everything without restarting the resource.

​
Permissions

/aptmanager is admin-only. A player can open it once you give them the apartments.admin permission (FiveM calls this an “ace”). Add the line(s) below to your server.cfg. Quickest setup - most servers already have an admin group, so give that whole group access in one line:
Anyone in your admin group can now use the panel. Done. Granting it to one specific person instead (no group needed) - use any one of their IDs:
To find someone’s IDs, type getplayeridentifiers <their server id> in the server console and copy the line that starts with license:. Players without the permission get a “no permission” message and the panel stays shut.
For the technically curious: access is checked against the apartments.admin ace, not command.aptmanager. The /aptmanager command is registered unrestricted and gated server-side by that ace.

​
Tabs

  • Transfer Resident - move the current occupant to a different free slot
  • Change Motel Group - reassign to a different motel
  • Change Tier - switch the room’s tier
  • Rename - change the room’s label
  • Delete Room - two-click confirm to remove
Add Room: click + Add Room to open the form. Use the 🎯 Pick buttons to grab your character’s current position for the Door, Exit, and (MLO only) Interior/Stash coordinates.

Live changes

All changes via the admin panel take effect immediately. No resource restart required:
  • Adding a room → door zones spawn for all clients
  • Adding a group → NPC spawns + clerk blip appears
  • Changing a tier → billing recalculates for the next cycle
  • Renaming → label updates everywhere

​
Data persistence

The admin panel writes to JSON files in the resource:
  • data/apartments.json
  • data/motel_groups.json
These are auto-managed. Don’t edit them by hand - use /aptmanager.
You can copy these JSON files between servers to clone your apartment setup.

​
Re-theming

Change the accent colour in server.cfg:
Restart the resource - entire admin panel + 3D markers re-theme.
