FAQ - Basic Admin Tool
This is a admin tool intended for valve's source dedicated server, BAT was designed for public servers, with adult admins. That dont want infinite number of useless/abuse punishments. Just a basic admin tool for banning/slapping/kick all in a handy menu or via console commands. And a design to keep it simple and minimize mod spesfic code means its going to work just as fine on counter-strike source as any other mod like Insurgency.

No. Short version is BAT needs the steamid to validate into something. Longer version is that BAT does not consider a player fully conneted untill he has a proper steam id, and him never doing this will create problems. There is also the side issue with that fact that when players STEAM ID dont validate their most likely on a hacked/cracked steam account or perhaps the server your trying to host is cracked (Its offcourse posible with a bug in either BAT or steam somewhere).
