SCP: Secret Laboratory Server Commands: Complete List

Learn where SCP: Secret Laboratory commands run, which permissions they require, every built-in text command and alias, and how to troubleshoot Remote Admin and LocalAdmin errors.

SCP: Secret Laboratory commands run in one of two places: the in-game Remote Admin panel, opened by pressing M by default, or your hosting dashboard’s server LocalAdmin console. Remote Admin text commands are restricted by the permissions attached to your role; the LocalAdmin console is intended to have full permissions. Use help and help <command> in the server you are operating, because syntax and available commands can change with updates.

How SCP: Secret Laboratory server commands work

The game separates administrative command execution into two contexts. Understanding that distinction explains most permission errors and many apparently missing commands.

In-game Remote Admin

Press M while connected as a staff member to open Remote Admin. The panel combines clickable controls with a text console. Text-Based Remote Admin commands require your role to hold the relevant permission. A role may have only part of a command’s authority, so being able to open the panel does not mean every command is available.

Server LocalAdmin or dashboard console

Your hosting dashboard’s console is the server’s LocalAdmin console. Hosting documentation describes it as having full permissions, so an in-game rank is not required there. Enter commands directly in that console. If a provider exposes Remote Admin commands through its dashboard, follow that provider’s required prefix or routing rule rather than assuming the in-game format will work unchanged.

If you still need a server to run these commands on, Godlike.Host offers SCP: Secret Laboratory server hosting with its own game panel, which includes sub-users with permissions for your staff and a task scheduler, plus 24/7/365 support by live chat or ticket.

Why the list can change

There is no permanent, version-independent command count. Updates, server builds and installed extensions can add, remove or alter commands. Run help for the live list and help <command> for the exact syntax accepted by your current server.

Check access before using a command

  1. Open Remote Admin with M, or focus the LocalAdmin console in your hosting dashboard.
  2. Run perm in Remote Admin to display the permissions attached to your current role.
  3. Run groups to list configured roles and their permissions. These commands require the wildcard * permission in the built-in table.
  4. Run help <command> immediately before using unfamiliar syntax, especially after a game update.
  5. Confirm that the target identifier is the type the command expects. Most player-management commands use the player’s current server ID; offline bans accept an IP, SteamID or Discord ID as specified below.

Remote Admin roles and their scopes are configured in config_remoteadmin.txt. Permission names are abbreviated in the command reference, so a role can appear to have administrative access while still lacking a specific capability.

Complete built-in text-command list

The following inventory preserves the documented syntax, aliases and permission codes. A cell marked “not stated” means the reference does not assign a code; do not infer that the command is unrestricted. Use the live help output as the final authority for your build.

Permission codes explained

The permission matrix groups capabilities by function. These are the codes you will encounter when checking a role or diagnosing a denied command.

Code Scope Examples
BN1 / BN2 / BN3 Ban tiers Short-term, up-to-day and long-term banning levels.
PLM Player management Disarm, HP changes, inventory inspection, release and room teleport.
PRM Permission management Editing groups and stopping the next round.
FCM Facility management Overcharge controls.
BRC Broadcast and intercom Broadcast, intercom voice and intercom text.
ANN Announcements C.A.S.S.I.E. commands.
CFG Server configuration Reading and reloading configuration.
SCC Server-console command access Round-time display.
ATC Administrator chat The @<text> command.
FFT Friendly-fire detector Inspecting, pausing and resuming detection.
SGR Group assignment Temporary player group changes.
* Wildcard Commands such as groups and perm.

Permission scope is role-based. A server owner can edit the role definitions in config_remoteadmin.txt, but granting a broad role also grants every capability included in that role. Give staff only the codes they need.

What you can do through the graphical Remote Admin panel

Several common actions are buttons rather than text commands. The documented panel sections include:

  • Player data: name, server ID, SteamID64, current role and HP.
  • Role management: changing a player’s role or applying administrative roles.
  • Inventory: viewing and managing a player’s carried items.
  • Moderation: player discipline and removal controls.
  • Administration: Overwatch, god mode, bypass, teleport, heal and noclip.
  • Rounds and events: starting or restarting rounds, respawning MTF or Chaos and controlling the Alpha Warhead.

These controls use the same permission model as text commands. If a button is disabled or an action is rejected, inspect perm and the role’s configuration rather than repeatedly clicking it.

Common command tasks

Ban an online player

  1. Identify the player’s current server ID in the player list.
  2. Announce the action with broadcast <length> <text> if other players need warning.
  3. Run ban <playerID> <length> in Remote Admin or LocalAdmin.
  4. If the server rejects the command, check whether your role has BN1, BN2 or BN3 and whether that tier permits the duration you entered.

Ban someone who is offline

Use oban with the identifier you actually possess: oban <userIP> <duration> <reason>, oban <steamID> <duration> <reason> or the Discord-ID form shown in the command table. Verify the identifier carefully; an IP ban and an account ban affect different future connections.

Teleport to a room

  1. Run ridlist or its alias rids.
  2. Copy the exact room ID from the output.
  3. Run roomtp <roomID>, rtp <roomID> or ridtps <roomID>.

This command teleports the command user. For moving another player, use the Remote Admin teleport control and the appropriate player-management permission.

Change or inspect health

To set a player’s exact HP, run hp <playerID> <value> with PLM access. The graphical Heal control is the safer choice when you want the panel’s normal healing action rather than an exact numeric value.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Inspect a player’s inventory

Run playerinventory <playerID> or any documented alias: playerinv, pinv or pinventory. Use the graphical Inventory section when you need to manage items rather than merely inspect them.

Spawn and remove a toy object

Use spawntoy primitiveobject <shape> <color> <size> to create a primitive object. Run destroytoy to remove objects made by that command. The built-in table does not list a general text command for spawning gameplay items; item management is exposed through the graphical inventory tools or by a compatible extension.

Safe operation and disruptive actions

Announce disruptive changes before executing them. A short broadcast gives players time to finish a fight, save evidence or leave a controlled area. Hosting guidance specifically warns that roundrestart and warhead instant, when available on the server, act immediately. Treat those as irreversible for the current round: verify the target, announce the action with bc, then execute it only from the intended console.

  • Use help <command> before relying on syntax after an update.
  • Prefer the least powerful permission that completes the task.
  • Test configuration changes in a quiet round before applying them during an event.
  • Record the player ID, reason and duration for moderation actions.
  • Do not assume an alias works in every extension or provider console; confirm it in live help.

Plugins and extension commands

LabAPI is the official API framework for SCP: Secret Laboratory server plugins. A plugin can add its own commands, aliases and permission checks. Those commands are not part of the built-in Remote Admin table, so their syntax must be learned from the specific plugin’s documentation or its own help output. A permission error on a plugin command may come from the plugin’s group system rather than config_remoteadmin.txt.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Troubleshooting command failures

“You do not have permission”

Run perm in Remote Admin and compare the result with the command’s code. Ask an owner to adjust the role in config_remoteadmin.txt, or run the command from the LocalAdmin console if your operating procedure permits it.

Whether you’re working from home, gaming through the night, or switching between video calls and documents, getting the screens to your natural line of sight helps relieve neck, shoulder and back strain so you can stay focused longer with less fatigue.
  • Keep Your Desk Organized: By lifting both screens off the desktop, this dual monitor stand opens up valuable space for your keyboard, notebook, docking station or a simple, clutter-free work area. Built-in cable management guides wires along the arms, keeping cords out of sight and out of the way. Enjoy a tidy, modern workstation that looks as good as it feels to use.

“Unknown command”

Run help to confirm the command exists on this build. If it is absent, check whether it belongs to a plugin, was renamed in an update or requires a provider-specific prefix.

“Invalid arguments”

Run help <command> and copy the argument order exactly. Common mistakes include using a display name instead of a server ID, omitting the required duration or reason, and supplying a room label instead of the ID returned by ridlist.

The command works in one console but not the other

Remote Admin applies your in-game role. LocalAdmin is the server console and is documented as full-permission. Provider wrappers can also alter routing, so check the dashboard’s command instructions when the same text behaves differently.

A disruptive command produced an unexpected result

Stop issuing additional commands, check the live round state and notify players. For future use, announce first, verify the exact target and use the smallest-scope command available.
