Can I use Rust admin commands on Facepunch official servers?

Guide Q&A

No. kick, ban, teleport, and inventory.give require auth level on your dedicated or hosted server. They never work on Facepunch official Steam servers protected by Easy Anti-Cheat.

Use admin commands on community servers you operate for events and moderation. For official servers, legitimate awareness tools are described separately in the GetRustCheats features guide—not RCON kits.

Correct: ownerid and moderatorid live in users.cfg on your box. Official has no player admin unless Facepunch staff.

The guide lists kick, ban, and global.say for wipe announcements. Remember server.writecfg after auth edits.

Useful distinction. F1 client binds are not the same as admin spawn on official.

Ox plugins can expose chat /tp but that is server-side config—not something you run on Facepunch official.

We use global.say for wipe timers on our community host. Zero overlap with ranked cheat modules.

Bookmarked the admin guide—status and kick syntax in one place.
