Whether you're managing players, controlling server settings, or troubleshooting issues, these admin commands give you complete control over your multiplayer survival server. This guide covers both vanilla Rust commands and enhanced [uMod plugin commands](/games/rust/install-oxide) for [Rust servers](https://berrybyte.net/rust-server-hosting). ## Getting Admin Access ### Method 1: Server Console (Recommended) 1. **Access server console** (varies by host) 2. **Add yourself as admin:** ``` ownerid STEAMID64 "YourName" "reason" ``` 3. **Save configuration:** ``` server.writecfg ``` ### Method 2: Configuration File 1. **Edit `server/cfg/users.cfg`** 2. **Add line:** ``` ownerid STEAMID64 "YourName" "Admin" ``` 3. **Restart server** to apply changes ### Method 3: In-Game (If Already Admin) ``` /addowner STEAMID64 /addmoderator STEAMID64 ``` ## Essential Admin Commands ### Player Management #### Kick Players ```bash theme={null} kick "PlayerName" "Reason" kick STEAMID64 "Reason" ``` **Examples:** * `kick "BadPlayer" "Griefing"` * `kick 76561198000000000 "Cheating"` #### Ban Players ```bash theme={null} ban "PlayerName" "Reason" ban STEAMID64 "Reason" banid STEAMID64 "Reason" ``` **Permanent bans:** * `ban "Cheater123" "Aimbot detected"` * `banid 76561198000000000 "Toxic behavior"` #### Unban Players ```bash theme={null} unban STEAMID64 removeid STEAMID64 ``` #### Mute/Unmute Players ```bash theme={null} mute "PlayerName" unmute "PlayerName" ``` ### Teleportation Commands #### Teleport to Player ```bash theme={null} teleport "YourName" "TargetPlayer" teleportpos "PlayerName" x y z ``` #### Teleport Player to You ```bash theme={null} teleport "PlayerName" "YourName" ``` #### Teleport to Coordinates ```bash theme={null} teleportpos "PlayerName" 1000 100 1000 ``` ### Item & Inventory Management #### Give Items ```bash theme={null} give "PlayerName" "ItemName" Amount giveid "PlayerName" ItemID Amount ``` **Popular items:** * `give "Player" "rifle.ak" 1` * `give "Player" "ammo.rifle" 100` * `give "Player" "wood" 1000` #### Clear Inventory ```bash theme={null} inventory.clear "PlayerName" ``` #### Give All Items ```bash theme={null} giveall "ItemName" Amount ``` ##

Command Usage Tips ### Finding Player Information ```bash theme={null} players # Get player list with SteamIDs status # Detailed player information ``` ### Using SteamID64 * **More reliable** than player names * **Doesn't change** if player changes name * **Required for** permanent bans and permissions ### Command Syntax Rules * **Use quotes** around names with spaces: `"Player Name"` * **Case sensitive** for some commands * **Tab completion** works in most consoles * **Check spelling** - typos cause command failures ## Common Admin Scenarios ### Dealing with Cheaters 1. **Spectate suspicious player:** ```bash theme={null} /vanish teleport "YourName" "SuspiciousPlayer" ``` 2. **Gather evidence** and take screenshots 3. **Ban permanently:** ```bash theme={null} ban "PlayerName" "Cheating - Evidence: Screenshot" ``` ### Server Events 1. **Spawn helicopter:** ```bash theme={null} entity.spawn "helicopter" ``` 2. **Create supply drop:** ```bash theme={null} entity.spawn "supply_drop" ``` 3. **Teleport all to event:** ```bash theme={null} /tpall ``` ### Emergency Situations 1. **Stop server attacks:** ```bash theme={null} /vanish /god ``` 2. **Mass kick griefers:** ```bash theme={null} kick "Griefer1" "Mass griefing" kick "Griefer2" "Mass griefing" ``` 3. **Save and restart if needed:** ```bash theme={null} save restart ``` ##

Frequently Asked Questions Use the `players` or `status` command in console, or check Steam profiles and use online SteamID converters. Most commands can't be undone. Always backup your server before major changes and use commands carefully. Ensure you have proper admin permissions, check command spelling, and verify if the command requires specific plugins. Use `removeowner STEAMID64` or edit the users.cfg file to remove admin entries.
