How to kick or ban a player on your BeamMP server

Open Players in the left menu, click ... on the player's row and choose Kick… or Ban…. A ban follows the player's BeamMP account, so a new name does not get them back in. To ban someone who is not online, use Ban a BeamMP ID.

Kick a player

A kick removes the player now. They can join again at once.

1. Open your server in the panel and click Players in the left menu.
2. On the Players tab, click ... at the end of the player's row and choose Kick….
3. Optionally type a Reason (they see it), for example please keep chat friendly.
4. Click Kick. A message says Kicked and the name.

If the player left in the meantime, the panel says That player is not on the server any more.

Ban a player who is online

1. On the player's row, click ... and choose Ban….
2. Under For how long, choose 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days, 30 days or Permanent. Permanent is chosen at first.
3. Type a Reason (they see it when they try to join), for example griefing.
4. If the box Also ban their IP address is there, tick it to keep them out on a new account from the same connection. It can also block someone else who shares that connection.
5. Click Ban. The player is removed now, and the panel says Banned and the name.

Ban… is only on rows with a BeamMP ID. A guest has no BeamMP account, so a guest can be kicked but not banned. To keep guests out, turn them off: How to stop guests joining your BeamMP server.

Ban a BeamMP ID that is not online

1. Click Ban a BeamMP ID at the top of the Players tab, or on the Bans tab.
2. Type the BeamMP ID: digits only, 1 to 20 of them. It shows next to every signed-in player's name on the Players tab, with a copy button.
3. Choose the length and a reason, and click Ban.

The server does not have to be running. A ban saved while it is stopped applies from the next start: the panel says Applies at the next start.

Remove a player's cars

Remove vehicles… in the row menu deletes every car the player has spawned. They stay on the server and can spawn again. It only shows for a player who has cars.

Good to know

• Banned players see the reason when they try to join. The sentence before it can be changed on the Access tab, under What a refused player reads. Leave it empty for the standard sentence, You are banned from this server.
• The Bans tab lists every ban with who banned and when, and lifts them: How to unban a player on your BeamMP server.
• Kicks and bans are written to Activity, with your name: How to see what happened on your server.
• Kick needs Use the console. Ban also needs the files permissions Read contents and Create and upload, because bans are kept in a file on your server: How to let a friend help run your BeamMP server.
• Kick and ban need the PlayNHost tools on. If PlayNHost Tools is off, bans are saved but nothing enforces them until it is on and the server restarts.
