Enshrouded Server Commands — Admin, Console and RCON Status

Searches for “server commands” often assume Enshrouded works like a survival game with a chat console, item spawns or RCON. The documented administration surface is different: server roles, passwords, in-game moderation and world settings.

What can an admin actually control?

Keen’s Server Roles Configuration describes password-protected groups in enshrouded_server.json. Relevant permissions include kicking and banning players, access to inventories, base editing and Flame Altar changes. The password a player uses to join selects their group.

That means the useful “admin commands” are operational actions:

• Configure a role with canKickBan for trusted moderators.
• Kick or ban from the game’s player-management interface.
• Set the world’s gameplay and difficulty values in server configuration.
• Use reserved slots to preserve capacity for trusted groups.

Why is a command list risky?

A web page can list familiar-looking commands such as /give or /teleport without proving the current dedicated server accepts them. Do not paste commands into a production host based only on a search result. If a mod adds an interface, its commands belong to that mod’s documentation and may break after a patch.

Keen’s official documentation focuses on JSON configuration and roles. Configure permissions in server password settings and global gameplay values in server settings rather than looking for undocumented shortcuts.

How should a host handle moderation?

Give moderation power to as few people as possible. An Admin group can kick and ban, while a Friend group can be configured for building and container access without the same moderation authority. Use distinct passwords and test them with a non-owner account. Reserved slots are useful for keeping access for trusted players, but they do not create more than the configured server capacity.

What about mods and trainers?

Keen’s public FAQ says it cannot make promises about mod support. Community mods, trainers and memory tools are separate from native server administration. They can introduce version mismatch, security and backup risks. Do not describe a community tool as an official server command.

Before adding any gameplay modification, back up the world, ensure every affected player understands the requirement, and read server unavailable troubleshooting for a clean recovery workflow.
