# Admin commands for CS:GO Servers

Learn the available admin commands in your Nodecraft hosted CS:GO server.

The game Counter Strike: Global Offensive does **not normally have admin commands built into the game.**

To add admin commands, we recommend that you Install **Sourcemod/Metamod**, which is a framework for extending any game built on the "Source" engine, created by Valve.

Sourcemod's normally used to add support for plugins/mods, but it also **adds an entire set of admin commands** that make it much easier to manage players and the server. Many of these commands are practically essential if you're managing a public server open to all, and sanity-saving quality-of-life improvements.

Sourcemod is managed and developed by the group Allied Modders. Their website has a lot of useful information about Sourcemod and Metamod, at https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Main\_Page.

Alternatively, you can also an **RCON tool** to connect to the server, but this only offers a limited set of commands (commands built into the game, but can't be used from within the game).  Sourcemod/Metamod will offer many more commands.

## Installing Sourcemod/Metamod

We have a separate article on the actual process for installing Sourcemod/Metamod, which you can find [here](https://nodecraft.com/support/games/csgo/installing-sourcemod-metamod-on-your-server). The article does mention several other games besides CS:GO, since, as mentioned above, it can be installed on most games based on the "Source" engine.

## Adding Admins

The Allied Modders wiki has instructions on how to add and setup admins within Sourcemod.

## List of Admin Commands

A list of Admin commands can be found on the Allied Modders website as well.
