The SendConVarValue function will only fake to the client to make it think sv_cheats is set to 1. It's not actually changing the value on the server. This is equalto using a memory patch hack to enable sv_cheats client side. If you have it enabled client side you can run client commands for wallhacks and such but you can't execute commands like noclip or ent_create or give as they are all server side validated. The server will know sv_cheats isn't enabled and will not execute the commands. If you wanted to allow the client to execute these server verified cheat commands then you would want to hook the clientcommand and enable sv_Cheats for that single game frame and disable it after or remove the cheat flags from the convar\concommand to allow it to execute when sv_cheats is 0.

What an excellent accurate explanation!
It is nice to have people around that know source "forwards and backwards"

Thanks backwards!
