Assetto Corsa Admin Commands

How to become admin and use all admin commands on your Assetto Corsa server.

Assetto Corsa uses session-based admin authentication — you enter the admin password in-game to gain admin rights for your current session.

Setting the Admin Password

In cfg/server_cfg.ini, set:

ADMIN_PASSWORD=YourSecurePassword

📝 Note: There is no persistent admin list file. Admin access is granted per-session by entering the password.

Authenticating as Admin In-Game

  1. Join your server
  2. Open the in-game chat
  3. Type: /admin YourSecurePassword
  4. You now have admin rights until you disconnect

Admin Commands

After authenticating, use these commands in chat:

Player Management

CommandDescription
/admin [password]Authenticate as admin
/kick [name/car_id/GUID]Kick a player
/ban [name/car_id/GUID]Ban a player (adds to blacklist)
/force_kick [car_id]Force disconnect a car slot
/client_listList all connected players
/guid_listList all connected player GUIDs
/ban_listShow all banned players
/unban [GUID]Remove a player from the ban list

Session Control

CommandDescription
/next_session or /ksnsSkip to the next session (Practice → Qualify → Race)
/restart_session or /ksrsRestart the current session
/next_weatherAdvance to the next weather preset

Car Management

CommandDescription
/ballast [car_id] [kg]Apply extra weight to a car (max 5000 kg)
/restrictor [car_id] [0-100]Apply engine power restrictor
/teleport_car [car_id]Teleport a car back to the pit lane

Ban List

Banned players are stored in cfg/blacklist.txt — one Steam GUID per line. You can manually edit this file to add or remove bans:

76561198012345678
76561198087654321

Server Console Commands

The acServer process also accepts basic commands directly in the console:

CommandDescription
helpList available commands
clientsShow connected clients
kick [GUID]Kick a player
ban [GUID]Ban a player
unban [GUID]Unban a player
nextSkip to next session
restartRestart current session
quitStop the server

💡 Tip: The in-game /admin commands are more powerful than the server console. Use in-game commands for most admin tasks.


Finding Car IDs

Use /client_list to see all connected players and their car slot numbers. The car ID (e.g., 0, 1, 2) corresponds to the [CAR_N] entry in entry_list.ini.
