# Kicking or Banning players on Your Unturned server

Information on how to Kick or Ban Players on Your Unturned Server

## Summary

Kicking and banning players are key administrative tools in Unturned used to manage player behaviour and maintain a fair environment. A kick removes a player from the server temporarily, often as a warning, while a ban blocks a player from joining entirely. These actions help uphold community standards and ensure a safe, enjoyable experience for all players.

## Requirements

Admin access is required. Learn how to add admins [here](https://help.chiphead.tech/en/articles/341-adding-admin-access-to-your-unturned-server.md).  
A player’s SteamID64 is required. Learn how to find their SteamID64 here.
