See who is on your Counter-Strike 2 server, kick or ban them, and manage SteamID and IP bans from the Players tab of the PlaySafe panel.

Players and Bans

The Players tab shows who is connected to your CS2 server and keeps your SteamID and IP ban lists. It gets its data over RCON with the status command, so RCON must be on (see Before you start) and the server running.

To open it, go to Hosting > Game Servers > your server and click the Players tab.

Players tab of a CS2 server with the Online, Bans and IP bans subtabs — The Players tab. With the server stopped, the Online list is empty.

Header

A badge with humans online and the maximum (for example 8/12), a +N bots badge when there are bots, and a Hibernating badge when the server sleeps.
The current map, under the title.
Auto-refresh: when ticked, the list reloads every 10 seconds while the browser tab is visible. Untick it to stop.
Refresh: reload now.

Online

Each connected player has a row with:

The name, which links to their Steam profile.
The SteamID badge (for example STEAM_1:1:12345).
Ping and packet loss.
How long they have been connected, and their IP address.

Two icons on the right:

Icon	What it does
Kick (door)	Disconnects the player. They can reconnect.
Permanent ban	Bans the SteamID with no time limit and kicks the player. The ban is saved in `cfg/banned_user.cfg`.

Both act at once, without a confirmation dialog. To ban for a limited time, use the RCON tab with banid.

Bans

The Bans subtab lists the SteamIDs in the server’s ban file, with the note and the duration (permanent or minutes). Click Unban to remove one.

IP bans

Open the IP bans subtab.
Type the address in IP address. Only IPv4 addresses are accepted.
Type the duration in minutes in the number box: 0 is permanent, the maximum is 40320 (four weeks).
Click Ban IP.

The list below shows each banned IP with its duration. Click Unban to remove it. IP bans are saved in cfg/banned_ip.cfg.

IP bans can hit innocent players

Homes, schools and mobile networks often share one address. Use IP bans only for players who keep coming back with new accounts.

Commands behind the buttons

Action	RCON command
Kick	`kickid {userid}`
Permanent ban	`banid 0 {userid} kick` then `writeid`
Ban IP	`addip {minutes} {ip}` then `writeip`
Unban SteamID	`removeid {steamid}` then `writeid`
Unban IP	`removeip {ip}` then `writeip`

You can run them yourself from the RCON tab.
