# Be an administrator on my Palworld server

{% hint style="info" %}
The mode **admin** gives you access to moderation commands (kick/ban, broadcast, save, etc.).

You need the **admin password** set on the dashboard.
{% endhint %}

### Objective

* Retrieve the **admin password** on the dashboard.
* Enable admin mode in-game.
* Use main admin commands.

### Step-by-step guide

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have never changed it, change it now.

Choose a long password, without accents.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Do not share the admin password.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Join the server**

Connect to your Palworld server from the game: [Connect to my Palworld server](/en/palworld/se-connecter-a-mon-serveur-palworld.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Enable admin mode in-game**

Open the chat with the key **Enter**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Use administrator commands**

Commands are typed in the chat.

Common commands:

* `/ShowPlayers` : lists connected players (useful to retrieve a SteamID).
* `/KickPlayer <SteamID>` : kicks a player.
* `/BanPlayer <SteamID>` : bans a player.
* `/Broadcast <message>` : global message.
* `/Save` : world save.
* `/Info` : server info.
* `/Shutdown <seconds> <message>` : scheduled shutdown.
* `/DoExit` : immediate shutdown.
* `/TeleportToPlayer <SteamID>` : teleports you to a player.
* `/TeleportToMe <SteamID>` : teleports a player to you.

{% hint style="info" %}
The value `SteamID` usually expects a **SteamID64**.

Use `/ShowPlayers` to retrieve it.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Common issues

#### The command `/AdminPassword` does not work

* Check the case (uppercase / lowercase).
* Re-enter the password. Avoid copy-paste.
* Make sure you have the `/` at the start of the command.

#### I don't have admin confirmation

* Try again after reconnecting to the server.
* Check that you are on the correct server (IP/name).

#### Kick/Ban doesn't work (invalid SteamID)

* Run `/ShowPlayers` and copy the displayed SteamID.
* Test on a player connected at the time of the command.

### FAQ

#### Do I have to redo `/AdminPassword` every time?

Yes, generally it must be redone after reconnecting (or server restart).

#### Can I give admin to someone else?

Yes, by giving them the admin password.
