Rust admin commands enable administrators to effectively moderate and control various aspects of a server. With the required permissions, admins can modify various server settings, update the config options, or kick, teleport, and remove players from the server. When combined with the various server mods/plugins available, server owners can heavily customize and moderate their server, keeping toxic individuals or cheaters from running rampant and adjusting server settings to their liking.

Note: The following list only contains common admin commands for moderating and managing a server.

How to Use Admin Commands

1. Join the server as an Admin.

2. Press F1 to open the Console Window.

3. Enter the desired command into the Chatbox.

4. Many commands also have Shortened Versions, such as god true.
