Summary
Space Engineers has multiple commands and features available to admins or server owners, such as enabling creative mode, spawning items, or editing permissions. Admins also have several moderation tools available in the form of kicks and bans; kicks will kick a player out of the server temporarily, not allowing them to join back for a time. Banning a player, however, adds them to a ban list in the config files, making them unable to join the server again.
| Note | Admin privileges are required to kick or ban, and panel access is needed to unban. Follow our guide on How to Add an Admin to a Space Engineers Server. |
