Bannerlord Server Admin Management
How to manage admins, use in-game admin tools, run server console commands, and access the web admin panel on a Bannerlord server.
Admin Password
Set the admin password in your config file:
AdminPassword "YourAdminPassword"
Players enter this in-game to claim admin rights. Stop the server before editing the config and restart to apply changes.
Claiming Admin In-Game
- Connect to the server.
- Press Escape to open the menu.
- Enter the admin password in the admin password field.
- The admin panel becomes available once the password is accepted.
In-Game Admin Panel
The admin panel provides:
- Mute — silence a player in chat.
- Kick — remove a player from the current session.
- Ban — permanently ban a player from the server.
- Broadcast — send a server-wide announcement.
- Change settings — adjust live server settings without a restart.
Admin Chat Commands
These commands are typed in the in-game chat by an authenticated admin:
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
/ab <message> |
Admin broadcast — highlighted message visible to all players |
/ac <message> |
Admin chat — message visible only to other admins |
Server Console Commands
These commands are run directly in the server console window (not in-game):

Web Admin Panel
The web admin panel is enabled by loading the DedicatedCustomServerHelper module. Add it to your module list in the startup command:
DedicatedCustomServer.Starter.exe
_MODULES_*Native*DedicatedCustomServerHelper*Multiplayer*
/dedicatedcustomserverconfigfile default.txt
/dedicatedcustomserverauthtoken YOUR_TOKEN
Access the panel at:
http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:7210
TCP port 7210 must be open for the panel to be reachable. The panel provides a browser-based interface for issuing the same commands available in the console window.
No Traditional RCON
Bannerlord does not use the Source RCON protocol. Remote administration is done either through the web admin panel (HTTP on port 7210) or by running commands directly in the server console. There is no mcrcon or similar client that works with Bannerlord.
