How to Kick and Ban Players on Your Eco Server

You can remove players directly in the game using chat commands or block them permanently through the file /Configs/Users.eco.

Use commands in the game

Open the chat
Press Enter in the game to open the chat.
Identify the player
The following command lists all users known to the server with their name and ID:
```
/manage listusers
```
Run the command
Enter the desired command, for example:
```
/manage ban 76561198012345678 Griefing 1w
```

/manage kick <NameOrID> [reason]

The player is removed from the running session but can rejoin at any time. Short form: /kick

/manage ban <NameOrID> [reason] [time]

Without a duration the ban is permanent. Short form: /ban

/manage unban <NameOrID> [reason]

Short form: /unban

Command	Short form	Description
`/manage listusers`	–	Show all known users with name and ID
`/manage whois <user>`	–	Show information about a user
`/manage kick <NameOrID> [reason]`	`/kick`	Remove a player from the running session
`/manage ban <NameOrID> [reason] [time]`	`/ban`	Ban a player, permanently if no duration is given
`/manage unban <NameOrID> [reason]`	`/unban`	Lift a ban
`/manage mute <NameOrID> [reason] [time]`	`/mute`	Mute a player
`/manage unmute <NameOrID> [reason]`	`/unmute`	Unmute a player
`/manage warnuser <user> <warning>`	–	Send a warning to a player

Bans and mutes can also be set directly in the configuration without being in the game:

/Configs/Users.eco

Section	Purpose
`BlackList`	Listed users are denied a connection to the server
`MuteList`	Listed users are muted
`Admins`	Users with admin rights, see Add Admin

Stop the server
Stop your server via the dashboard. Configuration files are only read on server start.
Connect via SFTP
Connect to your server via SFTP.
Enter the ID
Open /Configs/Users.eco and add the SLG ID or SteamID64 to $values in the desired section. The structure of the section already exists – only add the IDs and leave the rest unchanged:
```
"BlackList": {
  "System.String": {
    "$type": "System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.String, System.Private.CoreLib]], System.Private.CoreLib",
    "$values": [
      "76561198012345678",
      "76561198087654321"
    ]
  }
}
```
The example shows two entries – they are separated by a comma. With only one entry, the second one including its comma is omitted.
Start the server
Save the file and start your server.
