## Context

Are you managing a **Palworld** server at WinHeberg and need to moderate your community, manage players, or execute administrative tasks (manual saves, global announcements, teleportation)?

To use in-game commands, you must first set up an administrative password on your Pterodactyl panel, then authenticate directly via the in-game chat.


## 1. Set Up the Admin Password (AdminPassword)

Before becoming an in-game administrator, you need to define an access password.

1. Turn off your server by clicking **Stop** in your Pterodactyl console.
2. Go to the **Startup** tab of your server on Pterodactyl.
3. Locate the **Admin Password** (or `ADMIN_PASSWORD`) variable.
4. Enter your desired password (avoid spaces and complex special characters).
5. Restart your server by clicking **Start**.

> [!NOTE]
> If you edit configuration files directly via the **Files** tab, this password is located on the line `AdminPassword="YourPassword"` in one of the following paths:
> - **For Linux:** `Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini`
> - **For Windows:** `Pal/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/PalWorldSettings.ini`


## 2. Log In as an Administrator In-Game

Once the password is set and the server is running:

1. Launch **Palworld** and connect to your server.
2. Once in-game, open the chat window by pressing `Enter` (or `T`).
3. Type the following command, replacing it with your actual password:

    /AdminPassword YourPassword

4. Press `Enter`. A confirmation message will appear in the chat indicating that you are now logged in as an admin.


## 3. Complete List of Admin Commands

Here is the complete list of official admin commands available directly in the in-game chat:

| Action | Syntax | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Authentication** | `/AdminPassword {Password}` | Authenticates you as a server administrator. |
| **Server Info** | `/Info` | Displays current server version and information. |
| **Save World** | `/Save` | Forces an immediate save of the world and player data. |
| **Player List** | `/ShowPlayers` | Displays connected players alongside their `SteamID` and `PlayerUID`. |
| **Global Alert** | `/Broadcast {Message}` | Displays a banner alert message on all players' screens. |
| **Kick Player** | `/KickPlayer {SteamID/PlayerUID}` | Immediately kicks a player from the server. |
| **Ban Player** | `/BanPlayer {SteamID/PlayerUID}` | Permanently bans a player from the server. |
| **Teleport (To)** | `/TeleportToPlayer {PlayerUID}` | Teleports you directly to the target player's location. |
| **Teleport (Me)** | `/TeleportToMe {PlayerUID}` | Teleports the target player directly to your position. |
| **Scheduled Shutdown** | `/Shutdown {Seconds} {Message}` | Schedules a server shutdown with a countdown and an explanatory message. |
| **Immediate Exit** | `/DoExit` | Instantly shuts down the server without a countdown. |

> [!TIP]
> **Pro-tip on mods & RCON:** The commands listed above are the native commands included in vanilla Palworld. If you are using advanced moderation tools such as **PalGuard** or an **RCON** connection, additional commands may become available (e.g., `/GiveItem`, `/ClearInv`, `/Unban`).


## Troubleshooting

### ❌ The `/AdminPassword` command returns an error or does nothing
- **Password not applied**: Make sure you stopped the server *before* editing the password in the Startup tab, and then restarted it.
- **Command syntax**: Ensure there is no space between the slash `/` and `AdminPassword`.

### ❌ Unable to kick or ban a player using their ID
- **Incorrect ID**: Run the `/ShowPlayers` command first to accurately copy the player's `SteamID` or `PlayerUID`.


## Best Practices

- **Always save before shutting down**: Always run `/Save` in chat before issuing a `/Shutdown` or restarting via the panel to prevent rollback.
- **Warn your players**: Use `/Broadcast` a few minutes prior to maintenance or restarts so players can reach a safe location.
- **Keep your password secure**: Only share the admin password with trusted staff members. Any administrator has full rights to ban players or stop the server.
