How to Use the Admin Panel on Your SCUM Server

Last updated: September 18, 2026

SCUM has no server console. All in-game administration happens from a connected client, either through the graphical Server Settings panel or through # chat commands.

Note: You must first be added as an admin. See Add Admins. The panel requires your SteamID64 in ServerSettingsAdminUsers.ini; the chat commands require it in AdminUsers.ini.

Opening the Admin Panel

  1. Join your server with your admin account.
  2. Press Esc to open the menu. A new Server Settings entry appears.
  3. Open it to reach the admin interface, where you can adjust general options, manage zones (PvE / PvP / build zones), and spawn vehicles.

Some changes made through the panel need a server restart before they take effect.

Using Admin Chat Commands

  1. Open the in-game chat with the T key.
  2. Type a command starting with # and press Enter. Typing # on its own lists every available command, and the chat autocompletes names as you type.

Command names and IDs are not case-sensitive.

Common Commands

Command Description
#ListPlayersList players currently on the server.
#Kick <Player>Kick a player. They can reconnect.
#Ban <SteamID64>Ban a player so they cannot reconnect.
#Unban <SteamID64>Remove a ban.
#Mute <Player> / #UnMute <Player>Mute or unmute a player's chat.
#Announce <Message>Broadcast a message to all players.
#Teleport <X> <Y> <Z> [Player]Teleport a player, or yourself, to coordinates.
#TeleportToMe <Player>Pull a player to your position.
#SetTime <0-24>Set the in-game time of day.
#SetWeather <0-1>Set the weather.
#SpawnItem <ID> <Count>Spawn an item into your inventory.
#SpawnVehicleSpawn a vehicle.
#DestroyVehicleDestroy a vehicle (usually the one you are looking at).
#ShutdownServerShut the server down safely.
Important: #SetGodMode does not make you invulnerable - it enables instant, cost-free base building. It also requires the [SetGodMode] permission in AdminUsers.ini.

Permission-Gated Commands

Some commands only work if the admin has the matching permission added in brackets after their SteamID in AdminUsers.ini. If a command replies that you lack permission, add it there and restart the server.

Tip: Command names change between updates - for example, the restart command was renamed to #ShutdownServer. Treat the in-game # autocomplete as the authoritative list for your server's version.
