How to enable cheats on a Garry's Mod server


Summary
Garry's Mod cheats allow players to use various fun commands on their servers. Some of the more popular features of cheat mode would be god mode and noclip, as well as notarget. With those three commands players can take the role of an invisible spectator on their servers. This is especially useful for moderation and can occasionally catch rule-breakers who play nice when admins are around. In addition to moderation, cheats can add variety to a server by allowing players to change their view or gravity.
