They can rejoin straight away. To keep them out, ban them instead.

Ban a player

1. On the Active players card, open the menu on the player's row and choose Ban.

Good to know

• The server must be running, and the player must be on it, to kick or ban from the card. To ban someone who is not online, type ban in the Console with their name, SteamID64, a reason and the hours, as help shows: How to use the Console and RCON commands on your The Isle server. Or use the whitelist to keep everyone else out: How to turn on the whitelist on your The Isle server.
• You need permission to use the console on this server. Owners have it.
• Every kick and ban is written to the server's Activity log.
• The ban list is kept in TheIsle/Saved/PlayerData/PlayerBans.json. For a season wipe, use the Player data wipe schedule, which keeps it: see How to wipe player progress on your The Isle server.
