Auto-Kick
The automatic kick system allows you to restrict access to your servers based on specific criteria. For example, you can configure it to prevent players with low playtime or a private Steam profile from joining. The kick message will clearly state the reason for the restriction and provide guidance on how to resolve the issue.

Auto-kick settings
You can customize each auto-kick rule to fit your needs — whether it's setting a minimum number of RUST hours required, defining how many VAC/EAC bans a player is allowed to have, or configuring kick reasons in both languages (with more localization options coming in the future).
Please note
Keep in mind that enabling or adjusting auto-kick settings takes effect immediately. For example, players who were AFK before the AFK auto-kick was turned on will be kicked as soon as the rule is enabled.
Whitelist
There may be cases where you want a specific auto-kick rule not to apply to a certain player. To do this, go to their profile, open the Settings section, and allow exceptions — for example, let them join the server with a private Steam profile.
Kick Alert
All player auto-kicks can be viewed in the Alerts section, where you’ll see both the player who was kicked and the reason for the kick. From there, you can, for example, open the player’s profile and grant them access.
