Run these in the server console or an RCON client, not directly in F1. Replace <STEAM64_ID> with the player’s ID before running a command.
Save the world now
Writes the current world and player save without stopping the server.
server.saveThis is not an off-server backup and does not save plugin configuration files.
Disconnect one player
Disconnects the connected player and displays the reason. It does not ban them.
global.kick <STEAM64_ID> "Rule violation"Check the Steam64 ID; the player can reconnect afterwards.
Ban a Steam account
Adds a ban by Steam64 ID, including when that player is offline.
global.banid <STEAM64_ID> "Player name" "Rule violation"Permanent ban: verify the account. Run server.writecfg afterwards to persist it.
Remove a ban
Removes this Steam64 ID from the server’s ban list.
global.unban <STEAM64_ID>Run server.writecfg afterwards to persist the updated ban list.
Grant owner access
Gives this account Rust auth level 2 and saves the owner entry.
global.ownerid <STEAM64_ID>Only for trusted administrators. A player issuing it needs auth level 2.
Revoke owner access
Removes and saves the owner entry; a connected player loses their admin flag.
global.removeowner <STEAM64_ID>Do not remove your only owner unless you still have server-console access.
Persist server settings
Writes supported console settings to cfg/serverauto.cfg and saves the user/ban list.
server.writecfgThis writes current values; it does not export Oxide or Carbon plugin JSON files.
