Server Admin Commands
Ark Dedicated Server Setup For Windows & Linux
Another method of controlling your server is with administration and client commands. Below you'll find a list of all currently known commands. For the spawning of items and creatures I have a searchable list of spawn codes here: Item & Creature Spawn Codes
In order to access these commands, you will need to be playing the game logged onto your server. Then just press Tab and a small console window will appear along the bottom of the screen.
When playing a Single Player game you do not have to do anything special to gain access to these commands. However, if you are on a server you will need to enter the ServerAdminPassword using the following command:
enablecheats ServerAdminPassword
