Palworld Admin Commands & Setup

How to set the admin password and use all admin commands on your Palworld dedicated server.

Palworld admins can kick, ban, broadcast, save, teleport, and shut down the server using in-game commands.

Setting the Admin Password

In PalWorldSettings.ini, set:

AdminPassword="YourPassword123"

Requirements:

Minimum 8 characters
Alphanumeric (letters and numbers) — avoid special characters
This same password is also used for RCON and REST API

Authenticating In-Game

Join your server
Open chat and type:

/AdminPassword YourPassword123

You now have admin rights for this session

Getting Player SteamIDs

Run /ShowPlayers — it displays the name, player UID, and SteamID for everyone online. Use the SteamID (prefixed with steam_) for kick/ban commands:

/KickPlayer steam_76561198012345678
/BanPlayer steam_76561198012345678

📝 Note: For Xbox/PS5 crossplay players, use their platform UserID instead of steam_.

Ban List

Banned players are stored in Pal/Saved/SaveGames/banlist.txt. You can edit this file manually via Files in the panel.

💡 Tip: The admin password also controls access to RCON and the REST API.
