How to Become an Admin on Your Palworld Server

Palworld2 min readUpdated Aug 28, 2026

Admins can use special commands on a Palworld server: kicking or banning players, broadcasting messages, saving the world and more. Becoming an admin takes two minutes: set an admin password in the panel, then log in with it in game.

Set an Admin Password

  • Log in to your game panel and click your Palworld server.
  • Click Game Settings in the left menu under GAME SERVER.
  • In the General section, find the Admin Password field and enter a strong password. Use the eye icon to double-check what you typed.
  • The value saves automatically, and an amber banner appears: Settings saved. Restart the server to apply your changes.

  • Go to the Console page and press Restart to apply the new password.

Log In as Admin In Game

  • Start Palworld and join your server as usual.
  • Press Enter to open the chat window.
  • Type /AdminPassword YourPasswordHere (replace it with the password you set) and press Enter.
  • You are now an admin for this session. You need to run the command again each time you reconnect to the server.

Use Admin Commands

  • With admin rights active you can run commands like /ShowPlayers, /KickPlayer, /BanPlayer and /Broadcast straight from the in-game chat.
  • The full list with explanations is in our Palworld server admin commands article.

Good to Know

  • Admin Password is not Server Password. The Server Password field (also under General in Game Settings) is what players type to join a private server. Keep the two different, or everyone who can join can also become admin.
  • Share it sparingly. Anyone with the admin password has full command access. Change it in the panel and restart whenever you want to revoke access.

Finished

You now have admin access on your Palworld server. Continue with the admin commands list to see everything you can do, or tune your world with how to change the difficulty of your Palworld server.
