Managing Your Palworld Server

Administrative authority in Palworld is managed through a global password authentication system. Unlike games that use persistent whitelists or “OP” status linked to a specific account, any player who possesses your server’s administrative password can execute technical commands to manage the world environment. This system provides high flexibility for staff teams but requires diligent password security to prevent unauthorized exploitation of your server resources.

Technical Authentication Workflow

Before you can execute administrative logic, you must authorize your current session within the in-game interface.
1

Establish Connection

Join your Palworld server through the multiplayer menu.
2

Open the Command Overlay

Press Enter to initialize the in-game chat interface.
3

Execute Authorization

Input the following command precisely:
/AdminPassword <Your_Secret_Password>
4

Verify Metadata

Upon a successful handshake, the system log will broadcast: Admin Password Matches. You are now authorized to manage the instance.

​
Essential Administrator Registry

Once authenticated, you can use the following command set to govern your server.
  • /Save: Forces an immediate write of the world state to the persistent database.
  • /Broadcast {Message}: Transmits a high-visibility global announcement to every active participant.
  • /Shutdown {Seconds} {Message}: Schedules a graceful power-off sequence with a countdown timer.
  • /DoExit: Forcefully terminates the server process (use only if standard shutdown fails).

​
Tactical Remote Management (RCON)

Palworld’s in-game chat interface has a limited character buffer, which can occasionally truncate long SteamIDs or complex messages. For enterprise-level moderation and easier data handling, we highly recommend using a dedicated RCON Utility. This allows you to manage your community from outside the game client with superior clipboard support and logging capabilities.
