About

SetAdminIcon controls the visibility of the admin badge displayed alongside your character name in global and local chat. Pass true to display the icon, or false to hide it.

This is a cosmetic setting that affects only how other players see your chat messages, it does not change your actual admin status or permissions. Useful when you want to chat without broadcasting your role, or when managing a server where admin presence in chat should be obvious.
