# How to Ban Players on your Squad Server

# How to ban Players on your Squad Server

### In Game Method:

1. Open the in-game console using the backtick (`) Key.

2. Run the ban command by using the following format:

```
AdminBan <NameOrSteamId> <Banlength> <Ban Reason>
```

| Ban Period examples are as follows, 0 = perm; 1D = 1 Day; 1M = 1Month

Full Example:

```
AdminBan SpakredHost 1D Cheating
```

### Control Panel Method:

1. You can also ban players using the control panel. In order to ban someone from the control panel, you need to navigate to the file "Bans.cfg" ./SquadGame/ServerConfig/Bans.cfg

2. Once you find the file, on a new line you can ban the player using the following format:

```
<Steam64ID>:<timestamp> // Reason if you want to add
```

|| Note: When banning manually you will need their [Steam64id](https://steamid.io/) and a [Unix Timestamp](https://www.epochconverter.com/).

2. Save your server and restart for this ban to take effect.
