| admin | admin ['add' / 'remove' / 'list'] [steam id / player name / entity id] [permission level] | This admin command will add or remove a player from the admin list. When adding a player to the admin list, you need to specify a permission level. A permission level is a number between 0 and 1000 that determines what permissions a player has - 1000 is the lowest (no permissions) and 0 is the highest (full admin permissions). By default, commands like admin, and shutdown require a permission level of 0 to use - and kick, and ban require a permission level of 1. Use the 'cp list' command to see what commands are assigned to each permission level. |
| kick | kick [steam id / player name / entity id] ["kick message"] | This admin command will kick the player with the specified name, Steam ID, or entity ID from the server with an optional kick message.

| whitelist | whitelist ['add' / 'remove' / 'list'] [steam id / player name / entity id] | This admin command will add a player to the whitelist, remove a player from the whitelist, or list all players on the whitelist. The whitelist is a list of players who are allowed to connect to the server. The whitelist is disabled if no players are on the whitelist, but if there is at least one player on the whitelist it is enabled - i.e. to enable the whitelist, simply add a player to it; to disable the whitelist, remove all players from it. |
| ban | ban ['add' / 'remove' / 'list'] [steam id / player name / entity id] [duration + duration unit] ["message"] | This admin command can be used to list all banned players, or ban/unban a specified player. When banning a player, you need to specify a duration (see duration argument information for help). You can optionally specify a ban message (reason) when banning a player. |

See argument information for more help. |
| teleportplayer | teleportplayer [steam id / player name / entity id] [steam id / player name / entity id] [x y z] [view direction] | This console command can be used to teleport another player to a location. Using this command, you can do one of these three things: teleport a player to another player, teleport a player to a set of coordinates, or move a player a set amount of coordinates in any direction(s) (offset). |

| cp | cp ['add' / 'remove' / 'list'] [command] [0 - 1000] | This command can be used to list, remove, add, and change permission levels for different commands. A permission level is a number between 0 and 1000 that determines what permissions a player has - 1000 is the lowest (no permissions) and 0 is the highest (full admin permissions). By default, commands like admin, and shutdown require a permission level of 0 to use - and kick, and ban require a permission level of 1. Use 'cp list' to see a list of all permission levels - if a command doesn't have a permission level set, it requires max permissions (0) to use. See argument information for help adding/removing/changing permissions. Player permission levels can be changed with the admin command - all players by default have a permission level of 1000. |
