Conan Exiles Admin Commands: Console, Purge & RCON List

Conan Exiles ships a full admin console: god mode, flight, item spawning, teleports, purge control, building forensics and live server-setting changes. This guide covers setting the admin password, granting yourself admin, opening the console, and every admin command verified against the official wiki.

1. How Admin Access Works

Conan Exiles has no permission tiers. There is no moderator level, no per-command whitelist and no owner list. Access is binary: you are either in admin mode or you are not.

Admin mode is per-session. It ends when you run MakeMeNormal or log out — it does not survive a relog. In single-player you already have admin rights and need no password.

The admin password is the entire security model

There is no way to give one person kick rights and another person spawn rights. Handing out AdminPassword hands out world-deleting commands such as DestroyTarget and BuildingDestroy. Give it only to people you would trust with a database restore.

2. Set the Admin Password

The password lives under the AdminPassword key in <Server Directory>/ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/ServerSettings.ini — note that the folder is WindowsServer on Linux hosts too.

[ServerSettings]
AdminPassword=SomethingLongAndUnique

AdminPassword does not require a restart, so you can also set it live with SetServerSetting (section 10) or over RCON.

Easiest route from the panel

Edit ServerSettings.ini from the File Manager tab of your rented Conan Exiles server, or push the change live from the Console tab with SetServerSetting "AdminPassword" "YourPassword". The Console tab is also where you run every RCON command in section 13 without installing a client.

3. Make Yourself Admin

Two routes. Both do the same thing.

Via the menu (works on PC and console):

1. Open the menu (Esc).
2. Go to Settings > Server Settings.
3. Enter the admin password to authenticate.
4. Tick Make Me Admin.

Admin Rights Granted appears in the top right. Close Settings with Esc.

Via the console — open it with Insert or ~, then:

4. Where to Type Commands

Commands are typed without a leading slash. Anything with a / is a chat command (section 14) or a mod.

On PlayStation and Xbox the Admin Panel GUI works, but the command interface generally needs a USB keyboard, the hotkeys in section 11 are unsupported, and Teleport / SummonPlayer may be unavailable on PS4.

Ran a command and saw nothing? Open the full console

The single-line command bar (Insert or one ~) executes commands but never displays their output. Commands that print a result need the full console — double-tap ~. This is the most common reason people think GetServerHealth or PrintPlayerInfo "does nothing".

[PlayerName] means the Steam name, and quoting matters

Every command taking [PlayerName] expects the Steam name, not the character name. If a player's Steam name and character name are identical, the name must be quoted: TeleportToPlayer "player".

5. Player & Session Commands

ToggleDebugHUD is the one genuinely useful command needing no admin rights — it is how ordinary players read their own coordinates.

There is no kick or ban console command in Conan Exiles. Moderation happens in the Admin Panel's Player List (select a player, then kick or ban) or over RCON. Do not go hunting for a console equivalent; there isn't one.

6. Movement, Camera & Visibility

To land inside a player, chain ViewPlayer [PlayerName], then Teleport, then ViewSelf.

ToggleDebugHUD
Ghost
TeleportPlayer -180000 250000 -14000
Walk

Teleport aimed at the sky drops you at 0,0,0

Targeting empty air with Teleport currently sends you to world origin, and horizontal aim is clamped to roughly one map chunk from the Cursewall. You die at the bottom of the world in every game mode, so turn God on before experimenting. RightCtrl + RightShift + RightAlt + L opens a copyable window with your precise coordinates before you jump.

7. Spawning Items

ItemID is numeric, not a short name. Every item's wiki page lists its ID. Common ones:

SpawnItem 11502 100
SpawnItem 18062 50

DLC items sit in reserved bands — 1000+ is Isle of Siptah, 100+ the Black Lotus Bazaar, 8100+ The Imperial East Pack. Mod authors are told to use IDs above 99999, so an ID up there came from a mod, not the base game.

There is no console command for creatures, thralls or NPCs — use the Admin Panel's Spawn Humanoid and Spawn Creatures tabs.

8. Destroying Buildings & Objects

This is where admin sessions go wrong. Read the callout before using anything in this table.

BuildingIdentify doubles as a decay-debugging tool: the Buildable ID changes when a structure becomes disconnected, so two pieces reporting different IDs are decaying separately.

DestroyTarget deletes the map itself, and BuildingDestroy takes no confirmation

DestroyTarget temporarily removes every object of the same kind — all the trees, and the targeted parts of the terrain. Players then fall into the void and die there; undoing it needs a relog in single-player and a full server restart on a dedicated server. Ctrl + Shift + Delete deletes world chunks the same way. BuildingDestroy takes a raw numeric ID and asks nothing, so one typo erases the wrong base. For routine cleanup use Shift + Delete for a single piece, or BuildingIdentify, read back the owner name, then BuildingDestroy with the ID pasted rather than retyped — after a save backup.

9. Character & Follower Stats

Player attribute names, with their in-game labels:

Followers use the same names plus AttributeAccuracy, AttributeMetabolism, DamageModifierMelee and DamageModifierRanged.

10. Server Settings & Diagnostics

SetServerSetting reaches settings the Server Settings tab does not expose, including MessageOfTheDay. Quotes around both arguments are required. Not every setting takes effect live — some revert to the last loaded value unless changed while the server is offline.

GetAllServerSettings
SetServerSetting "MessageOfTheDay" "Wipe Sunday 18:00 UTC"
GetServerHealth

GetServerHealth is the number to watch on a struggling server: total building parts and spawned actor count drive Conan Exiles server FPS into the floor far harder than player count does.

11. The Purge

Fill the meter first, then start. StartPlayerPurge does nothing on an empty meter.

12. Admin Hotkeys and the Admin Panel

NoBuildingCosts needs at least one of each relevant item already in your inventory. Any admin command can be bound to a key under Settings > Keybindings; Insert is permanently bound to the console and cannot be reassigned, and keybinds the UI will not let you edit can be set by hand in Input.ini.

The Admin Panel itself is point-and-click and covers things with no console equivalent:

• Player stats — Encumber, Health Min, Health Max, +1 Knowledge, +Level, Set Level, Print XP, Show Stats
• Modes — Walk, Fly, Ghost, Cloak, God, DemiGod, Invisibility, NoSprintCost
• Survival — Toggle Eating, Toggle Hungry, Toggle Thirsty, Change Food Meter, Change Water Meter
• Time and weather — Change / Set Time of Day, Set Day Length, Freeze Time, Freeze Sky, Set Fog Severity, Set Target Weather Severity, Set Wind Severity, Set Wind Trajectory
• Spawning — Spawn Item (Resource, Gear, Building, Other), Spawn Humanoid, Spawn Creatures
• Player List — connected players, and where kicks and bans live

Time of day, weather and wind are panel-only. There is no SetTime or weather console command.

13. RCON

Conan Exiles uses the Source RCON protocol — the same wire format Minecraft uses — so any Minecraft- or Source-compatible RCON client works.

[RconPlugin]
RconEnabled=1
RconPassword=YourRconPassword
RconPort=25575
RconMaxKarma=60

The same keys work as command-line arguments: ConanSandboxServer.exe -RconEnabled=1 -RconPassword=... -RconPort=25575. RconMaxKarma is the brute-force guard; leave it at 60.

SetServerSetting also works over RCON, which makes it the cleanest way to change settings on a live server. RCON commands are logged to RconCommandLog.log in the server's Logs folder; connections land in ConanSandbox.log.

Funcom has never published a complete RCON command list — the documentation has been "planned" since 2018. Run help against your own server and treat that output as authoritative for your build rather than assuming a command exists.

14. Chat Commands

Any player can use these; none require admin.

/whoami is the fastest way to get a player to hand you their Steam name for TeleportToPlayer or SummonPlayer.

15. Conan Exiles Enhanced

Conan Exiles Enhanced is the Unreal Engine 5 rebuild, and the admin command set carries over unchanged. Two server-side differences matter: the Exiled Lands and Isle of Siptah are merged into one map split into regions, excluded per-server with [Regions] ExcludedRegions=IsleOfSiptah in Engine.ini, and the Linux server binary requires the game.db filename to be all lowercase. Funcom's official Enhanced settings reference is at exiles-enhanced.inflexion.io.

16. FAQ

How do I make myself admin in Conan Exiles?

Set AdminPassword in ServerSettings.ini, then either tick Make Me Admin under Esc > Settings > Server Settings after entering the password, or type MakeMeAdmin YourAdminPassword in the console. Admin Rights Granted appears in the top right when it works. In single-player you already have admin and need no password.

How do I open the admin console in Conan Exiles?

Press Insert or ~ for the single-line command interface. Double-tap ~ for the full console, which is the only one that shows command output — you need it for GetServerHealth, GetAllServerSettings and PrintPlayerInfo. Ctrl + Shift + C opens the Admin Panel GUI instead.

How do I spawn items?

SpawnItem [ItemID] [Quantity] — for example SpawnItem 11502 100 for 100 Steel Bars. IDs are numeric and listed on each item's wiki page. The Admin Panel's Spawn Item tab is easier if you do not know the ID, and it is the only route for NPCs and creatures.

How do I fly or become invisible?

Fly for flight, Ghost for flight plus noclip plus invisibility to other players, Invisibility for invisibility alone, and Cloak to become invisible to NPCs while still able to attack them. Walk exits Fly and Ghost.

How do I kick or ban a player?

There is no kick or ban console command. Open the Admin Panel, go to Player List, select the player and use the kick or ban action there. For remote moderation use RCON, plus whitelistplayer and unwhitelistplayer if you want a closed server.

How do I delete a griefed base without wrecking the map?

Look at the structure, run BuildingIdentify to get its Buildable ID and owner, then BuildingDestroy <ID>. Do not use DestroyTarget for this — it also removes terrain and other objects of the same type, and undoing it needs a server restart.

Why did my admin rights disappear?

Admin mode is per-session, not persistent. Logging out, reconnecting, or running MakeMeNormal drops you back to a normal player. Re-run MakeMeAdmin, or tick Make Me Admin again, after every reconnect.
