Squad admin commands manage players and the match from the in-game admin console (~ / F1) or an RCON client. Here's the list that matters, with syntax — get player IDs first with the public ListPlayers command.
Quick answer
Squad admin commands run from the in-game admin console (press ~) if you are listed in Admins.cfg, or from an RCON client with the server IP, RCON port and password. Run ListPlayers first to get the player IDs that kick, ban and warn commands need.
Run commands from the in-game console (press ~ or `) if you're an admin (listed in Admins.cfg), or connect an RCON client with your server IP, RCON port and password. Some commands only work in-game; most also work over RCON. Use ListPlayers to get the <PlayerId> values other commands need.

The ById commands need a <PlayerId> — run ListPlayers first to get it. Layer names must be exact (e.g. Gorodok_RAAS_v1). Admin access comes from your SteamID and group being set in Admins.cfg; RCON needs the port and password in your server config.
