Rust Admin & Console Commands — Full List (2026)
Rust admin commands are run from the F1 console once you have owner or moderator rights. Here's how to grant admin, and the full list that matters — player management, noclip and teleport, time and weather, giving items and saving the server. Copy-paste syntax included.
From RCON or the server console, run ownerid <SteamID64> "name" "reason" for full admin (auth level 2) or moderatorid <SteamID64> "name" "reason" for a moderator (level 1), then server.writecfg to save it. Reconnect, and admin commands work from the F1 console.
Granting & removing admin
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
ownerid <SteamID> "name" "reason" | Grant full admin (auth level 2). |
moderatorid <SteamID> "name" "reason" | Grant moderator (auth level 1: kick, ban, mute, teleport). |
removeowner <SteamID> | Remove someone's admin. |
removemoderator <SteamID> | Remove someone's moderator. |
server.writecfg | Save roles/permissions to the config — run after any owner/moderator change. |
Player management
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
kick "<name>" | Kick a connected player. |
ban "<name>" | Ban a connected player by name. |
banid <SteamID> "name" "reason" | Ban a player by Steam ID (works even when offline). |
unban <SteamID> | Remove a ban. |
users | List connected players. |
status | Server status: players, ping, connection info. |
say "<message>" | Broadcast a chat message as the server. |
Movement & visibility
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
noclip | Toggle flight and clipping through objects (admin only). |
teleport "<player>" | Teleport yourself to a player. |
teleport "<player1>" "<player2>" | Teleport one player to another. |
teleport2me "<player>" | Bring a player to you. |
teleportpos (x,y,z) | Teleport to specific coordinates. |
Time, weather & environment
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
env.time <0-24> | Set the time of day (e.g. 12 = noon, 0 = midnight). |
env.progresstime true/false | Freeze or resume the day/night cycle. |
weather.rain <0-1> | Force rain amount (-1 hands back to dynamic weather). |
weather.fog <0-1> | Force fog amount. |
weather.wind <0-1> | Force wind strength. |
Items & server
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
inventory.give "<item>" <amount> | Give yourself an item by short name. |
inventory.giveto "<player>" "<item>" <amount> | Give an item to a specific player. |
server.save | Force-save the server now. |
server.writecfg | Write the current config (roles, convars) to disk. |
find <partial> | Search for any command or convar by keyword. |
server.hostname "<name>" | Change the server name shown in the browser. |
Moderators (level 1) can kick, ban, mute and teleport but not run every command. Cheat-style commands like noclip and giving items generally need owner (level 2). Grant ownerid only to people you fully trust, and always server.writecfg to persist it.

Frequently asked questions
How do I become admin on my own Rust server?
From RCON or the server console run ownerid
What's the difference between ownerid and moderatorid?
ownerid is full admin (auth level 2) with access to every command including cheats. moderatorid (level 1) can kick, ban, mute and teleport but not run owner-only cheat commands. Use moderatorid for staff you trust with player management only.
How do I give myself items in Rust?
Use inventory.give "
How do I change the time on a Rust server?
env.time <0-24> sets the hour (12 = noon, 0 = midnight). env.progresstime false freezes the day/night cycle so it stays at that time; set it true to resume.
Why don't my Rust admin changes stick after restart?
You didn't run server.writecfg. ownerid/moderatorid and convar changes are only saved to the config when you write it — run server.writecfg after any admin or setting change.
Do I type these in the F1 console or the server console?
Player-side (noclip, teleport, giving yourself items) go in the in-game F1 console once you have admin. Granting admin (ownerid/moderatorid) is done from the server console or RCON, then saved with server.writecfg.
