How to enable Palworld console commands
Palworld's admin console is opened in-game and unlocked with the server's admin password. Without that password the console accepts only harmless local commands, which is why moderation starts with the server config file.

Set an admin password
Define an admin password in the server settings file before launch. Without one there is no way to authenticate as an administrator.
Open the console
Open the in-game command field and authenticate with the admin command plus your password. The server confirms elevation before other commands work.
Single-player vs server
Local worlds expose a smaller set of commands. Full moderation tooling is a dedicated-server feature.
Who should hold the password
Only people you would trust with the save file. Admin access can remove players and alter the world irreversibly.
Log what you do
Keep a short log of admin actions on a community server. It resolves most 'my stuff is gone' disputes in minutes.
