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!

Development builds of this project can now be acquired at the provided continuous integration server. These builds have not been approved by the BukkitDev staff, and are possibly buggy. Use them at your own risk.
Just downloaded the permission plugin and with over 70 plugins i'm realy happy with
/p helpme
afer its done i'll we working with this i keep you update for bugs i find, but agian THANK YOU for the /p helpme command :D
Just to get this right.. I need 3 world with each other permissions, I just have to create: World.yml World_nether.yml Games.yml
then i can set each world other permissions?
Nevermind it just auto create its own, Agian Thank you for this it realy helps speed up the work !
@seriosbrad
I asked for more information as all you said was "doesn't work" and pasted your file. I tested with your file and it worked fine. You did not respond within 2 days, so I figured you'd either resolved the issue or given up.
Just wondering, did you remove my support ticket about not being able to modify blocks? The issue was not resolved.
@SLiPCoR
Oh yeah, I seen that there, thankyou for letting me know! :)
@Warhawker
Please look at promotion tracks, it makes adding multiple groups in multiple worlds with a single command a breeze!
Nevermind, again, I fixed that also. I am starting to see the potential of this plugin. I still have one more question, is it possible to give a prefix to a individual, that overrides the group they are in? So I don't get, "Admin Root-Admin Warhawker" in the chat.
Finally, adding this on just now, There is no "inheritance"? I read about the flexibility and all, but what about the ease? Granted copy and paste is not hard, but still...
@joshuadavis
You have Essentials or DefaultCommands or some other crap plugin which has antibuild built in.
@blitzer88
If bPermissions doesn't enable it won't work. This is caused by an error in your YAML formatting - please read my notes about YAML formatting.
@DarkMinecrafter
Your chat plugin handles color codes, bPermissions doesn't know or care about them.
@CubeForge
Hi, you could do that in weighted permission nodes.
maxplot.0.size
So for example maxplot.0.size:10 maxplot.10.size:20 etc etc etc
using CraftBukkit 1185
world.yml
default: default groups: default: - bPermissions.build
default players cannot build nor break blocks - doesn't bPermissions.build = build: true
@blitzer88:
bPermissions does not work with Essentials. Once you solved that, open a ticket and post your errors there (though I'm sure you will not have any ;) )
@SS94_:
Check out the track system ( called "Promotion Tracks" on THIS page here) You can use /promote *player* *track* then :)
Hey,
I'm just wondering If there is a command to add a player from the default group or any other group for that matter to a higher/different one through the use of a command?
Thanks in advance
can you change the color codes to the classic for example &1
and why is this error message : error while parsing a block mapping: expected block end. found scalar
i am using essentials and when why can the default groupt see 4 site of /help when they dont have permission to do that ? and i am using essentials and when why can the default groupt see 4 site of /help when they dont have permission to do that ? and when i try to use /promote playername admin "uknown command. type /help"
@codename_B
Could you please link me to it? I downloaded 1.7.2 and I am still currently stuck on the rank. If it is not 1.7.2, please give me a link. Your work is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Codename_B, Hi it's me again. How would I put this into the world file?
towny_maxplots: {number}
It allows a special setting for specific group or player to bypass default maximum plots allowed. How would I rewrite this node to fit your format?
@Darklusst
Thanks for the nice comment :D
We just switched from GroupManager to this, and I'm pretty impressed at how automated the process was. We haven't lost any functionality in bPermissions, keep up the good work :D
Hi :)
I didn't try iChat, I installed bChat instead, working perfectly out of the box :)
prefix.0.ADMIN means that the group that has this node is having the suffix "ADMIN" at the lowest priority. The number means that every other group you get assigned will propably override.
So you might want to have the default prefix => .0. and the other prefixes higher numbers.
Another example:
I am in the group default, mod and admin. default has "prefix.0.default", mod has "prefix.50.mod" and admin has "prefix.100.admin" - this way, I finaly get assigned the [admin] prefix. If 100 were lower than 50, I would get the [mod] tag :)
Hi, can anyone help me getting the prefix/suffix work? ichat wont work :( and the internal bPerm Prefix too...
i tryed - prefix.0.ADMIN ... whats the number between the dots? and how can i make it work?
@CubeForge
It shouldn't be overriding it o.O I'll look into things.
