Ark: Survival Evolved admin controls

Admin commands are basically tips that you can use to modify the game the way you want. You can customize your experience by entering these commands and playing with what they give you in the game's giant sandbox.

You can use these controls in single player or multiplayer, on a private server. A person just needs to have the correct permissions to enter commands and this can be done through server settings or by using an administrator password that you set.

Enabling administrator permissions

To bring up the admin command bar, just press Tab on PC, L1 + R1 + Square + Triangle on PlayStation 4, or LB + RB + X + Y on Xbox One. You will then need to activate the cheats, which is done by entering:

empower

Simply replace "password" with the password set for the administrator password on the server.

This will then allow you to start entering tips and commands for the game. Here are the commands you can type and what they will do:
