Use Web Console when you need to ban or unban a Rust player without joining the game. Rust bans are handled by SteamID64, so make sure you have the correct player ID before running the command.

  1. Open your Rust server in the control panel.
  2. Click Web Console.

  3. Run status first if the player is online, then copy the correct SteamID64 from the player list.
  4. Ban a player with:
    banid STEAMID64 "reason"
  5. Unban a player with:
    unban STEAMID64
  6. Save the ban list with:
    server.writecfg

If you prefer a remote console client, use How to use RCON with your Rust server. More examples are listed in Commands for Rust.
