Place administration

In order to enforce place-specific rules, administrate a place, or simply have fun, some place owners give to themselves and, sometimes, other users they choose, certain features that normal users of a place do not have access to. These can be the power to teleport visitors to other locations, shut down servers, or kick/ban users from that experience.

Command scripts
A command script is a script allowing certain users to perform certain in-experience actions by using commands which are usually given through the chat or through a GUI text box. The most popular and most well-known command script is HD Admin, followed by Kohl's Admin, being followed by Person299's admin command script then by LuaModelMaker's admin.

Command scripts will accept commands, most of which will also accept arguments, which will be separated from each other's and from the command using a separator character (usually the space character). Many command scripts will also require commands to be prefixed by a symbol, such as a semicolon or colon, to distinguish commands from normal chat (if the command script uses the chat to listen for commands).

Graphical tools
With the arrival of GUIs, many users have created administrative tools that use an interface instead of plain text commands, like command scripts. Many administrative tools that act like command scripts can, in fact, can be used either through plain text commands or with an interactive interface (e.g. Quenty's GUI admin commands).
