Garry's Mod Admin Commands — ULX Full List (2026)
Garry's Mod has almost no admin commands on its own — the standard is the ULX admin addon (on ULib). Here's the ULX command list that matters, how to run them (in-game with ! or in console with ulx), and how admin groups work.
Vanilla GMod has no real admin system. Install ULX and its dependency ULib (Workshop or GitHub) into addons/. Then run commands in the in-game chat with a ! prefix (!kick), or in the server console with ulx (ulx kick). Type ulx help to print every command.
Player management
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
ulx kick <player> [reason] | Kick a player. |
ulx ban <player> <minutes> [reason] | Ban a player (0 = permanent). |
ulx banid <steamid> <minutes> | Ban by Steam ID. |
ulx unban <steamid> | Remove a ban. |
ulx kickid <steamid> | Kick by Steam ID. |
ulx votekick <player> | Start a kick vote. |
Punish & control
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
ulx slay <player> | Kill a player. |
ulx freeze <player> / unfreeze | Freeze / unfreeze a player. |
ulx jail <player> [seconds] | Jail a player. |
ulx gag <player> / ungag | Block / restore text chat. |
ulx mute <player> / unmute | Block / restore voice chat. |
ulx blind <player> / unblind | Black out a player's screen. |
Movement & god
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
ulx god <player> / ungod | Toggle invulnerability. |
ulx noclip <player> | Toggle noclip for a player. |
ulx bring <player> | Teleport a player to you. |
ulx goto <player> | Teleport yourself to a player. |
ulx teleport [player] | Teleport to where you're aiming. |
ulx cloak <player> / uncloak | Make a player invisible. |
Server, maps & groups
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
ulx map <map> [gamemode] | Change the map. |
ulx maps | List available maps. |
ulx adduser <player> <group> | Add a player to a group (e.g. admin, superadmin). |
ulx removeuser <player> | Remove a player from their group. |
ulx groupallow <group> <command> | Let a group use a command. |
ulx help | Print every ULX command in the console. |
ULX uses ULib groups — typically user, admin and superadmin. Only put people you trust in admin/superadmin, since those groups can use the powerful commands (ban, god, map change). Use ulx adduser to assign groups.
