# How to Ban Players on a Space Engineers Server

Learn how to ban players from your Space Engineers server using the in-game admin tools. This guide walks you through opening the player management menu, selecting a player, and banning them to prevent them from rejoining your server.

In this guide we are going to cover how you can ban a player on your Space Engineers server. Banning a player is a core moderation tool to remove continually problematic players from your server.

## Banning a player

1. Join your Space Engineers server as an admin.
2. Press F3 to open the Player menu.

Selecting a player unlocks moderation options such as promoting, kicking, or banning them.](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1626x1191/faf71558be/space-engineers-player-management-menu-png.png/m/)
3. Once on the player page, select the player that you want to ban, and click the **Ban** button and the player will be immediately banned and no longer able to join the server.

  ![Select the player you want to remove from your server, then click Ban from the menu on the left. Banned players will no longer be able to reconnect until the ban is removed.](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1663x1242/5a5f4974c2/space-engineers-ban-player-png.png/m/)
