Administration Commands — Rank Management and Logs

Administration commands let higher-tier admins manage ranks at runtime, review logs, and monitor the server. These commands are generally reserved for level 2 (Admin) and above, with the most sensitive commands restricted to level 3 (Super Admin) or level 4 (Game Creator). Changes made with runtime rank commands are session-scoped and do not persist after a server restart — see the warning at the bottom of this page.

Log Panels

All log commands open a scrollable UI panel within the BAR interface:

:logs — Displays the admin action log, which records every successfully executed command alongside the admin who ran it. Up to 1,500 entries are stored in memory per server session.
:chatlogs — Shows the last 1,500 chat messages sent in the server. Messages are filtered through Roblox’s broadcast filter before being stored and displayed, ensuring compliance with Roblox’s chat policies.
:joinlogs — Lists the usernames of every player who joined the server during the current session, in the order they joined.
:shutdownlogs — Reads from DataStore to show a persistent history of shutdown events, including who initiated the shutdown and the date. This persists across server restarts.

All log data is session-local (except shutdown logs) and is cleared when the server closes.

Dex Explorer

:dex (permission level 4 — Game Creator only) opens the built-in Dex Explorer directly in the calling player’s PlayerGui. Dex is a powerful Roblox instance explorer that lets you browse and manipulate the full game hierarchy at runtime. Because Dex provides unrestricted access to all game instances, it is intentionally gated behind the highest permission level. The Dex remote function is authorized per-player — unauthorized invocations are rejected and logged.

Rank Management

The :admin, :mod, :superadmin, and :unadmin commands adjust a player’s in-memory permission level for the duration of the current server session.

A caller can only promote players to ranks below their own level — an Admin (level 2) cannot grant Super Admin (level 3).
A caller can only demote players whose current rank is strictly lower than the caller’s own rank.
If a target already has a rank, promoting them to a new rank first removes the old rank via unadmin before applying the new one.

Runtime rank changes made with :admin, :mod, :superadmin, and :unadmin are not persisted. When the server shuts down, all in-game rank changes are lost. To make permanent rank assignments, update the ['Admins'], ['Mods'], and ['Super Admins'] tables in main_script.lua and republish your game.
