# Project Zomboid Admin Commands List (/docs/project-zomboid/admin-commands)



This is a complete reference of all admin commands available on your Project Zomboid server. You must be logged in as an admin to use these commands.

> 💡 **Tip:** Type commands in the in-game chat (press **T**) prefixed with `/`. Commands themselves are not case-sensitive, but **player names and item IDs are case-sensitive** — type them exactly as they appear. To become an admin first, see [Become a Server Admin](/docs/project-zomboid/become-admin).

Useful Tips [#useful-tips]

* Commands are **not** case-sensitive, but **player names and item IDs are**
* Player names with spaces need quotes: `"Player Name"`
* Use `/players` to verify exact usernames before running commands
* The `/changeoption` command applies changes immediately without a restart
* Use `/save` before making major changes as a safety precaution
* Type `/help` in-game to see all commands available for your current access level
