You can kick and ban players via the server console in the dashboard or in-game via chat commands. Players are always identified by their Factorio username.
Kick a player
/kick <Username> <Reason>
The player is removed from the server but can rejoin.
Ban a player
/ban <Username> <Reason>
The player is banned from the server and added to the ban list.
Unban a player
/unban <Username>
View and manage the ban list
/bans
/banlist <add/remove/get/clear> <Username>
Edit the ban list manually
The ban list is stored as the file server-banlist.json in the main directory of your server and is created automatically when you ban someone. You can edit it via SFTP:
[
"Player1",
"Player2"
]
Restart the server after editing so the list is read in again.
Mute a player
/mute <Username>
/unmute <Username>
With /purge <Username> you can additionally remove a player's chat messages.
