7 Days to Die: Server and admin commands
On a 7 Days to Die dedicated server, most commands are open only to full admins by default. The lower the permission level, the more power it has, and 0 means full access. Player commands accept a name, an entity ID or a platform ID, and lpi lists all of them. There are also separate commands to give items or XP to another player, both covered on this page.
Most codes here need cheats turned on first. See the section on how to open the console.

Server and admin commands: Common questions
How do I make myself an admin on a server?
If someone with admin rights types admin add, your player name and 0 in the console, you get full access. If the server has no admin yet, you grant it in the server's serveradmin.xml file or through your host's web console.
Why does a command not work even though I am an admin?
Most commands require level 0 by default. If you gave yourself a level higher than 0, or your ID is wrong in serveradmin.xml, the command is refused. To open a command to a lower level, use cp add.
Can PS5 and Xbox players use server commands?
Consoles have no F1 command console. On a PC dedicated server with crossplay, jobs like kicking, banning and teleporting are done from the server's web console or by a PC player with admin rights.
Does the save world command make a backup?
No. Typing saveworld, or sa for short, writes the world to disk as it is, but it does not create a copy you can roll back to. For a backup, copy the save folder separately.
