# How to Kick Players From an Enshrouded Server

Learn how to kick a player from an Enshrouded server by enabling the Can Kick/Ban permission and removing them through the in-game Social menu.

If someone is causing trouble on your Enshrouded server, you can remove them without taking the whole server offline. Enshrouded handles kicking through its in-game Social menu, but the player doing the kicking must first be in a server group with the **Can Kick/Ban** permission.

## Make Sure You Have Kick Permissions

1. Navigate to your Nodecraft dashboard.
2. Locate your Enshrouded server and click **Manage**.
3. Click **Players** in the menu on the left.
4. Find the user group you use to join the server and make sure **Can Kick/Ban** is enabled.
5. If you changed the permission, click **Update User Group** to save it.

## Kick a Player from Your Enshrouded Server

1. Join your Enshrouded server using the password for a group that has **Can Kick/Ban** permission.
2. Press **O** to open the **Social** menu.
3. Select the player you want to remove from the server.
4. Choose **Kick Player**.

Kicking removes the player from the current session, but it does not permanently block them from returning. If the player should not be able to rejoin, use the ban option instead. Sometimes a timeout is enough. Sometimes Embervale needs a bouncer.

## Final Thoughts

Once the right permissions are in place, removing a disruptive player only takes a few clicks. Clear access controls are part of what makes a host the best fit for an Enshrouded group, and Nodecraft keeps those permissions easy to manage.
