Rust Admin Commands – Comprehensive List

Rust has an extensive library of admin commands. They are mainly used for customizing how a dedicated Rust server behaves. You must have an ownerid or a moderatorid to use these commands, as well as access to the server’s remote console interface (RCON).

Here are all the commands you can run on a Rust server.

Note: ownerid is the admin on the server while moderatorid is the server moderator.

Rust Admin Commands List

Rust admin commands are divided into server commands and server variables.

Server commands typically change the game state at a higher level of abstraction than server variables. For example, server commands can be used to kick players out of the server or restart the server.

Server variables, on the other hand, are used to configure particular numeric or Boolean values on a server. For example, server variables can be used to limit maximum server FPS or change the game volume.
