- Under Settings, then Game Settings, type a password into Admin Password (letters, numbers, dash and underscore, up to 20 characters).
- Restart the server so the password is applied.
- Join the server in game, open the chat and type #login followed by your Admin Password, then press Enter. The game confirms in chat when you are logged in. Type #logout to give up admin rights.
- Optional, for remote admin tools: also set an RCON Password, restart, and connect a BattlEye RCON tool (for example BattleMetrics) using your server address, your RCON Password and the RCON Port shown under Settings, then Game Settings. The RCON Port is assigned with your server and cannot be changed.
Useful admin commands
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
#login <Admin Password> | Typed in the in-game chat: logs you in as an admin using the Admin Password you set. |
#logout | Typed in the in-game chat: ends your admin session. |
#kick <player> | Typed in the in-game chat while logged in: removes a player from the server. |
#shutdown | Typed in the in-game chat while logged in: shuts the server down, so only use it when you mean to stop the server. |
The admin login and its # commands are typed in the in-game chat. Remote admin tools use BattlEye RCON from outside the game. Nothing here is typed in the panel Console tab. See How to use the console and run commands.
