# Banning and Unbanning Players on your Palworld Server

Learn how to Ban or Unban a player on your Palworld server!

This guide will cover how to ban players from your Palworld server, as well as how to unban them!

## Become an Admin

First things first, you’ll want to become an Admin for your server, we have a guide on how to do that here: [https://nodecraft.com/support/games/palworld/how-to-become-an-admin-of-your-palworld-server](https://nodecraft.com/support/games/palworld/how-to-become-an-admin-of-your-palworld-server)

## Finding a Player’s SteamID

Next, you’ll need to know the player’s SteamID, you’ll want to make use of the Show Players command, which shows information on all connected players. Press the `Enter` key and type:

`/ShowPlayers`

## Banning Players

When you want to ban a player, the command is:

`/BanPlayer {SteamID}`

Example: `/BanPlayer 1234567`

## Kicking Players

If you need to just kick a player from the server, the command is:

`/KickPlayer {SteamID}`

Example: `/KickPlayer 1234567`

## Unbanning Players

As of the initial launch of Palworld's Early Access on January 19th, 2024, there is no unban command.

However, you can unban a player by editing a file directly in the “File Manager” tab of the Panel. The file is located in the `/Pal/Saved/SaveGames` folder and you’ll see the `/banlist.txt` file.

Make sure the Server is offline, then select the file, click the Edit button, and then you can delete the SteamID of the player you wish to unban.
