# How to Kick & Ban Players on Your Abiotic Factor Server (/docs/abiotic-factor/player-moderation)



Player moderation is done through the in-game admin GUI. You must be an [admin](/docs/abiotic-factor/admin-setup) first.

Kicking a Player [#kicking-a-player]

1. Press **ESC** in-game
2. Go to **Player Management** → **Admin** tab
3. Select the player
4. Click **Kick** — they're temporarily removed but can rejoin

Banning a Player [#banning-a-player]

1. Same menu as above
2. Click **Ban** — they're permanently blocked
3. Banned players appear in the **Banned Players** list

Unbanning a Player [#unbanning-a-player]

1. Open **Player Management** → **Admin** tab
2. Go to the **Banned Players** section
3. Select the player and click **Unban**

> 📝 **Note:** There are no text-based console commands for kick/ban in vanilla Abiotic Factor. The admin interface is GUI-only.
