How to unban a player on your BeamMP server

Open Players in the left menu, click the Bans tab, find the player and click Unban. The ban is lifted at once on a running server, or from the next start on a stopped one.

Lift a ban

1. Open your server in the panel and click Players in the left menu.
2. Click the Bans tab. The number in brackets is how many bans are active.
3. Find the ban. With bans in the list, a search box finds one by name, BeamMP ID, reason or who banned.
4. Click Unban on its row. A message says Lifted the ban on and the name.

What a ban row shows

• The name, or Unknown name for an ID banned before it was seen, and the BeamMP ID.
• Still on the server if the player is on right now.
• The reason, or No reason given.
• Banned by who and when.
• Permanent, Ends in and the time left, or Expired.
• Tried to join: and how often the banned player tried since.
• When the ban also covers their IP address, the row shows IP with part of the address hidden, or IP banned. Show IP addresses shows the addresses in full.

Timed bans end on their own. The Bans number at the top of the page counts active bans, and says how many have expired.
