ARK Admin Commands

This section gathers all essential administration commands for managing a multiplayer ARK server. If you are administering a hosted dedicated server (for example at OuiHeberg), these commands allow you to control players, spawning, and server behavior directly from the console.

How to Activate Admin Console

On a multiplayer server, you must authenticate before using ARK admin commands:

enablecheats <admin_password>

The admin password is the one set in your server configuration (ServerAdminPassword in GameUserSettings.ini). On OuiPanel, you will find it in the "Settings" tab of your ARK server.

Once authenticated, prefix all your commands with cheat or admincheat:

cheat <command>

💡 Info: Commands are not case-sensitive.

Admin Rights Management Commands:

Command	Description	Example
enablecheats <password>	Authenticate as admin	enablecheats mypassword123
SetCheatPlayer <true/false>	Show/hide admin indicator	cheat SetCheatPlayer true
