The Isle Admin Commands: Full List and Setup Guide

Last updated: July 23, 2026

This guide shows you how to become an admin on your The Isle server and use the full list of admin commands. Admin commands work as soon as your SteamID64 sits in the right config file — they let you kick and ban players, teleport people who are stuck, heal, grow, change time and weather, and much more.

Note: This guide covers the Legacy build of The Isle, which uses an in-game command console (press Enter to open it). If you run an Evrima server, admin commands work differently — see the Evrima guides in this help center instead.

How to Become an Admin on Your The Isle Server

Admin rights come from your Steam ID, not from an in-game menu. You add that ID to the Game.ini file — the main configuration file for your server — while the server is stopped, and it applies the next time the server starts.

Before you begin: We recommend making a backup of your server before making changes.
  1. Find the SteamID64s — You'll need your own SteamID64 and the IDs of the players you want to make admins. A SteamID64 is the long numeric ID for a Steam account. You can use SteamID.io to easily look up anyone's SteamID64.
  2. Log in and stop your server — Open the NolimitHost Game Panel at https://game.nolimit.host/, select your server, and stop it first. This is important so the server doesn't overwrite your changes when it shuts down.
  3. Open the File Manager — In the left sidebar of the panel, click File Manager.
  4. Open Game.ini — Locate and open the Game.ini configuration file (it lives in the server's config folder, typically /TheIsle/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini).
  5. Find the admin section — In that file, find the section [/script/theisle.igamesession].
  6. Add your SteamID64 — Under that section, add the line ServerAdmins= followed by your SteamID64, like this: 
    ServerAdmins=12345678XXXXXXXXX
    You can add multiple admins by separating the IDs with a comma, like this: 
    ServerAdmins=12345678XXXXXXXXX,87654321XXXXXXXXX
  7. Save and start — Save the file, then go back to the Console tab and start your server.

You have now successfully set yourself as an admin on your game server and can start running commands in game!

How to Use The Isle Admin Commands

To open the command console in the game, press the Enter key. Type the command you want, then press Enter again to run it. Only the Steam IDs listed under ServerAdmins= can run them.

The Isle Admin Commands List

Every command starts with a forward slash. Replace the bracketed part with the player name, Steam ID, or value you want.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How Do I Become an Admin on My The Isle Server?

Get your SteamID64 from SteamID.io, then stop your server and open Game.ini in the File Manager. Under the [/script/theisle.igamesession] section, add ServerAdmins= followed by your ID, like ServerAdmins=12345678XXXXXXXXX. Separate multiple IDs with a comma, save the file, then start the server.

How Do I Use Admin Commands In-Game?

Press Enter to open the console, type the command, then press Enter again. Commands only run for the Steam IDs listed under ServerAdmins=.

What Are the Most Useful Admin Commands in The Isle?

/adminpanel handles most day-to-day moderation in one window. Beyond that, /kick and /ban deal with problem players, /heal clears hunger, thirst, and a broken leg, and /goto puts you next to whoever needs help.

How Can I Teleport Players or Myself in The Isle?

Use /goto [player name] to teleport yourself to a player, and /bring [player name] to pull that player to you. Both are the quickest fix for someone stuck in the terrain.

How Do I Grow or Heal Players?

/grow [player name] advances a player to the next growth stage and heals them, though the player still has to click "Grow". /heal [player name] restores hunger and thirst and relieves a broken leg.

Can I Use SteamID64s to Manage Bans and Kicks?

Yes. /kickid [steam id] [reason], /banid [steam id] [hours] [reason], and /unban [steam id] all take an ID instead of a name. They are the safer option when player names are similar or unknown.

Can I Automate Weather or Time Changes?

No. Commands are entered one at a time, either typed into the console or run from the admin panel.
