# Managing Players

Open `Live -> Players & rooms -> Players` for the active player list.

## Player Details

Each player row shows:

- Player id and session id.
- Room.
- Status.
- RTT, jitter, and connected duration when available.
- Hashed or masked network identity fields when your role can view them.

## Player Actions

Use player actions when moderation or live support is needed:

- `Kick`: disconnects the player from the room.
- `Ban account`: prevents matching account sessions from rejoining.
- `Ban IP`: blocks matching hashed IP identity where available.
- `Message`: sends an admin message to the player.
- `Observe`: opens a real observer session in the playable runtime without counting as a player.

Destructive actions require a reason. The reason is recorded in the audit trail.

## Bulk Actions

Select multiple players to kick or message them together. The confirmation shows the number of affected players.

## Ban Management

The Ban management section shows active and historical bans. Use `Revoke` to lift a ban with a reason.
