Includes a command cheat sheet.","# How to Become Admin on Your ARK: Survival Evolved Server\n\nAdmin access lets you run cheat and management commands on your ARK server: spawn items, fly, teleport, instantly tame, kick or ban players, save the world, and wipe wild dinos. There are two ways to send those commands, the in-game console and our panel Console (which is wired to RCON), and this guide covers both, plus how to skip the password entirely.\n\n## Step 1: Set Your Admin Password\n\nYour admin password is set in the panel, not in a config file.\n\n1. Open your server in the [DoomHosting panel](\u002Fpanel) and go to the **Startup** tab.\n2. Find the **Admin Password** field. It is `PleaseChangeMe` by default, so change it to something only you know.\n3. The panel autosaves. **Restart** the server so the new password takes effect.\n\nAnyone with this password can run every admin command, so treat it like a root password and do not share it.\n\n## Option A: Run Commands From the In-Game Console\n\nThis is the classic method and works for any player who has the password.\n\n1. Join your server (see [how to join your ARK server](\u002Fhelp\u002Farticles\u002Fhow-to-join-your-ark-survival-evolved-server) if you need the steps).\n2. Press **Tab** to open the console. If nothing happens, enable the console first under Options.\n3. Authenticate as admin:\n\n```\nenablecheats YourAdminPassword\n```\n\n4. You are now admin for this session. On a multiplayer server, prefix each command with `admincheat`:\n\n```\nadmincheat Fly\nadmincheat GiveItemNum 1 1 1 false\n```\n\nYou have to run `enablecheats` again every time you reconnect.\n\n## Option B: Run Commands From the Panel Console (RCON)\n\nYour ARK server runs with RCON enabled, and our panel Console tab is connected straight to it. That means you can run admin commands from the browser without being in-game at all, which is ideal for broadcasts, saves, and kicking a player while you are away from your PC.\n\n1. Open the **Console** tab in your panel.\n2. Type the command and press Enter. Over RCON you are already authenticated, so **do not** add the `admincheat` prefix:\n\n```\nBroadcast Server restarting in 5 minutes\nSaveWorld\nListPlayers\n```\n\nRule of thumb: use the panel Console for server management (broadcasts, saves, player lists, kicks) and the in-game console for anything that acts on you or where you are standing (Fly, teleport, spawning something in front of you).\n\n## Skip the Password: Make Yourself a Permanent Admin\n\nTired of typing `enablecheats` every time? Whitelist your Steam ID and you are admin automatically on every join, no password needed.\n\n1. Get your Steam64 ID, the 17-digit number. You can look it up at [steamid.io](https:\u002F\u002Fsteamid.io).\n2. In the panel, open the **Files** tab and go to `ShooterGame\u002FSaved\u002F`.\n3. Create a file named exactly `AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt`.\n4. Put one Steam64 ID per line, save, and **restart** the server.\n\nEveryone listed in that file gets admin rights on login without the password or `enablecheats`.\n\n## Essential Admin Commands\n\nIn-game, prefix these with `admincheat`. In the panel Console (RCON), use them without the prefix.\n\n| Command | What it does |\n|---|---|\n| `SaveWorld` | Force-save the world right now |\n| `Broadcast \u003Cmessage>` | Send a message to everyone on the server |\n| `ListPlayers` | List connected players and their IDs |\n| `KickPlayer \u003CSteamID>` | Kick a player |\n| `BanPlayer \u003CSteamID>` | Ban a player |\n| `DestroyWildDinos` | Wipe all wild creatures (they respawn fresh) |\n| `Fly` \u002F `Walk` | Toggle flying on or off |\n| `GiveItemNum \u003Cid> \u003Cqty> \u003Cquality> \u003Cbp>` | Spawn an item into your inventory |\n| `GMSummon \"\u003Cdino>\" \u003Clevel>` | Spawn a tamed, rideable creature |\n| `SetTimeOfDay \u003Chh:mm>` | Change the in-game time |\n| `Slomo \u003Cvalue>` | Change game speed (1 is normal) |\n\nFor the complete list, the [ARK Wiki console commands page](https:\u002F\u002Fark.wiki.gg\u002Fwiki\u002FConsole_commands) is the reference.\n\n## Common Questions\n\n### Do I have to restart after changing the admin password?\nYes. The password is applied when the server launches, so save it on the Startup tab and restart for it to take effect.\n\n### Why does my command do nothing in-game?\nOn a server you have to run `enablecheats YourAdminPassword` first, then prefix commands with `admincheat`. Without the prefix many commands are silently ignored.\n\n### What is the difference between the in-game console and the panel Console?\nThe in-game console runs commands as the character you are playing, which is best for Fly, teleport, and spawning near you. The panel Console runs over RCON for server management (broadcasts, saves, kicks) and needs no password or prefix.\n\n### Can other people be admin too?\nYes. Share the admin password so they can run `enablecheats`, or add their Steam64 IDs to `AllowedCheaterSteamIDs.txt` for password-free admin.\n\n## Need a Hand?\n\nNot hosting with us yet?
