How to Kick and Ban Players on Your SCUM Server

Kick and ban players on a SCUM server

3 min read

You can remove players directly in the game using chat commands or manage them through the configuration files of your server.

Use commands in the game

  1. Open the chat
    Press T in the game to open the chat.

  2. Find the SteamID64
    To ban someone you need their SteamID64. The following command lists it:

    #ListPlayers
    
  3. Run the command
    Enter the desired command with a leading #, for example:

    #Ban 76561198012345678
    

Kick a player

#Kick <PlayerName>

The player is disconnected from the server but can rejoin at any time.

Ban a player

#Ban <SteamID64>

The player is kicked immediately and cannot connect again until the ban is lifted.

Unban a player

#Unban <SteamID64>

Mute a player

#Mute <PlayerName>
#UnMute <PlayerName>

With #Silence <PlayerName> <duration in hours> you can mute a player for a specific amount of time. If you leave out the duration or enter 0, the player stays silenced indefinitely.

Command overview

Command Description
#ListPlayers List all players including their SteamID64
#Kick <PlayerName> Disconnect a player from the server
#Ban <SteamID64> Ban a player permanently
#Unban <SteamID64> Lift a ban
#Mute <PlayerName> Mute a player
#UnMute <PlayerName> Unmute a player
#Silence <PlayerName> <hours> Mute a player for a limited time
#ListMutedPlayers Show all muted players
#Announce <Text> Send an announcement to all players

Manage the lists via configuration files

All lists are located in the following directory, accessible via SFTP:

/SCUM/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/
File Purpose
BannedUsers.ini Banned players, one SteamID64 per line. Deleting a line is the same as an unban.
SilencedUsers.ini Muted players including their remaining duration
ExclusiveUsers.ini A true whitelist: as soon as the first SteamID64 is listed here, only listed players can join the server.
WhitelistedUsers.ini Priority slots: listed players can also join a full server – another player gets kicked instead.
  1. Stop the server
    Stop your server via the dashboard.

  2. Edit the file
    Open the desired file via SFTP and enter the SteamID64 – one per line. If the file does not exist yet, create it.

  3. Start the server
    Save the file and start your server.
