bPermissions
bPermissions
Welcome to bPermissions, a Superperms Manager for Bukkit! bPermissions focuses on being unique from the rest of the Permission managers. It's very simple to set up and use, it's lightning fast, fully featured, and has a great support team!
Some features:
- bPermissions has a gui client specifically designed to make running a server so easy that you'll forget that you ever used any other permissions plugin. Get it here!
- bPermissions has a unique command structure, never before seen in a permission manager. It's best used for adding lots of nodes to a user or group from the console or in-game, less typing!
- bPermissions has everything you would expect from a Permissions manager. Prefix and suffix support, inheritance, per-player permissions, multiworld support, promotion/demotion tracks, and even group priorities for multi-group setups.
- Note - bPermissions only defines prefixes and suffixes. You need a chat plugin such as bChatManager for them to show up in chat.
Commands
Say you have a user called 'Bob' and you want to put him in the group 'admin' and give him the prefix 'awesome'.
- /world yourmainworld - selects the world "yourmainworld"
- /user bob - selects the user "bob"
- /user setgroup admin - set bob's group as "admin"
- /user meta prefix awesome - set bob's prefix to "awesome"
You can do the same with groups!
- /world yourmainworld - again, selects the world
- /group admin - selects the group "admin"
- /group addgroup moderator - makes the admin group inherit from the moderator group
- /group meta prefix &c[Admin] - sets the admin prefix to "&c[Admin]"
Some other commands are as follows
- /permissions (or /bperms,/bp,/p) - general commands for bPermissions are prefixed by this
- /permissions import pex - import a pex permissions.yml in the pex folder
- /permissions reload - reloads your bPermissions files
- /permissions save - if auto-save is false, this saves your perms
- /permissions backup - backup your permissions
- /permissions helpme - for the lazy among you, this spews out some basic permissions files into your folder.
In order to use these commands, you'll need the permissions node bPermissions.admin
For configurable /promote and /demote tracks, you'll want to use permissions tracks. To read about those, visit this page
Want more commands? We have some others over on the commands page. Check 'em out!
Editing Files
bPermissions creates per world groups.yml and users.yml files in the bPermissions folder, which allow you to configure permissions on a per world basis.
Because bPermissions was designed to be configured largely via commands, bPermissions will often overwrite changes to these files especially if you /reload or restart the server.
If you've edited the files, you MUST use /permissions reload to load the modified files into the server, otherwise the permissions changes won't apply. Because a standard /reload unloads all plugins like a server stop, we cannot tell the difference between them and this will overwrite changes to your files with whatever the server last stored.
World mirroring
Worlds are mirrored like so:
world_mirroring_to: world_mirroring_from world_nether: world world_the_end: world
This duplicates the whole config for that world. Currently there's no way to have just the users or the groups mirrored, stay tuned for an update that adds this!
bPermissions and EssentialsChat
Allow me to put this issue to bed. Essentials Chat + bPermissions works for prefix and color.
This guide is for current users of EssentialsChat and want to use bPermissions along with it.
Players have colored rank prefixes and faction chat modes are also colored. All text can be colored by the players too using color codes such as &c.
bPermissions\world\groups.yml ( code snippet )
default: default groups: ## Peasant ## default: permissions: - group.default - group.userannouncer - group.userauction groups: - userannouncer - userauction meta: priority: '100' ## Citizen ## rank1: permissions: - group.default - group.rank1 groups: - default meta: priority: '200'
It has nothing configured for prefix but the group names are important (default, rank1)
Essentials\config.yml ( Code Snippet )
change-displayname: true #add-prefix-suffix: false player-commands: - chat.color - chat.format - chat.shout - chat.question chat: radius: 0 group-formats: default: '&8&lPeasant &r&8{DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}' rank1: '&8&lCitizen &r&7{DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}' moderator: '&e&l[Mod] &r&3{DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}' admin: '&c&l[Admin] &r&e{DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'
Please direct all other Essentials support to their official support networks.
How do I get support?
First, we highly recommend you go read the FAQ page. If the answer isn't there, there's a few options of support.
- Visit the #bananacode irc channel on irc.esper.net. Just head there, as your question, and wait for someone to help you. It might be a while before you get an answer, so be patient!
- You can file a ticket. This is recommended if you don't have the time to hang around in the IRC or you have a bug report. Be prepared to check back to the ticket though, and make sure you attach your bPermissions groups and users yml files to the ticket.
- Comment on the bPermissions main page.
Note that as there's only one (slightly inactive) maintainer at the moment, any support queries may take some time.
However you choose to get support, "pls dont use txt spk," and make sure you use actual grammar.
I'm a developer!

@qazzi
Update CraftBukkit.
my config file just blanked out.. nothing is in it.
I promoted one guy.. it worked, now everyone else says "check yml".
please help
@MichaelSe
The stats folder is deliberate, this plugin keeps usage stats.
Also that isn't a bPermissions issue, that's a bukkit issue. Update bukkit.
Hey there! I'm having a little problem. Everything in the chat comes out double, except regular chat. So if I'm in console, and use this command "say Hello", players in the server would see this:
[Server] Hello
[Server] Hello
I have removed all other plugins, bPermissions is the only one, and this still happens. If I use another plugin, like CommandBook, if I use "/time day", it would say:
(player) set the time to 08:00 in (world)
(player) set the time to 08:00 in (world)
No console errors And btw I also get the stats folder in plugins. OS: Mac OS X 10.6.8
@kevile
Thanks for the report, it's not a very used feature so bugs like that aren't often found, will try to replicate.

Your "Commands and how to use them" section should have an entry for
/p global setgroup groupname playername
This was a crucial feature for me and I nearly opened a ticket until i figured i might try it in chat. Luckily for me you implemented but didn't document ;)
(edit)
Maybe i spoke too soon, it doesn't seem to be working properly... Half the time it throws a
@WhiteDragon32 Well now I believe you, I can't replicate the bug though.
Operating system?
Hey is the /p lock command anything like the authme and xauth plugins ? forgive me if this is a stupid question
Since i have no clue how to use my eyes or my brain, so says this plugin developer, Ill show you 2 pics and see if you know how to use your eyes.
first pic is before server restart after I put the bPermissions.jar into the plugin's folder. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/843/beforeserverstartandsto.png/
second pic is after a server start and stop. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/13/afterserverstartstop.png/
now if you have eyes that don't work, you will see a "stats" folder show up in the list now. however if you have eyes that do work you will see a folder called "stats" but is really called bPermissions bc your eyes work so well that you are seeing mirages like people in the desert see.
@WhiteDragon32
The stats folder might be of mcMMO, to not have mcMMO send something somewhere ... opt-out.
Any plans on adding an option to the config to turn off name case sensitivity? A lot of players when applying for servers don't format their name right.
@WhiteDragon32
You're obviously doing something wrong then, like not looking. I guarantee you 100% it is there.
just edited my previous post to say bPermissions instead of Permissions. No bPermissions folder shows up only a "stats" folder shows up.
@WhiteDragon32
How about a bPermissions folder XD
v1.7.5 bPermissions....
I downloaded bPermissions and put it into my plugin's folder and then started and stopped my server. The problem is that once I did this the only new folder that showed up in plugin's folder is called "stats" (witch is different than what is shown in the walk through youtube vid on the DEV site). In that folder is a config.yml. In the config.yml it says:
opt-out: false list-server: true v1.7.5
That's what I get. So, I don't get a bPermissions folder or anything else. I have been told that I am doing this wrong, so if someone would be nice enough to tell me what I'm missing that would be nice.
@wolfenit415 Glad to help that's what I like to hear.
@Malcolm2608 Personal preference?
@Warhawker Need to update your bukkit.
