SCP: Secret Laboratory Admin Commands — RemoteAdmin (2026)
SCP: Secret Laboratory admin commands run through the RemoteAdmin (RA) panel — the in-game menu moderators and admins use to manage a round. Here's how to open it and the text commands that matter, with syntax. You need moderator permission or higher, set in the server's RemoteAdmin config.
With moderator permission or higher, press M in-game to open the RemoteAdmin panel. You can click players and actions, or type text commands into the RA input. The same commands also work from the server console. Grant admins by SteamID (with @steam) in config_remoteadmin.txt.

RemoteAdmin permissions are set by group in the server config — you can give moderators only some commands (kick/mute) and reserve powerful ones (forceclass, roundrestart) for admins. Grant access carefully in config_remoteadmin.txt.
