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!
If you wish to hook your plugin into bPermissions, please see the Developer Page for more information! If you wish to contribute code to bPermissions, fork us on GitHub!
Development builds of this project can also be downloaded from GitHub now. These builds have not been approved by the BukkitDev staff, and are possibly buggy. Use them at your own risk.

nope, no global permissions. I have three worlds (world, Exploria, Faerenwell) and both Exploria as well as Faerenwell are inheriting all permissions via the "mirror" feature from the "world" plugins files. So I guess technically I am not using a global setup, but all worlds are mirroring one main world.
PS, sorry for the late reply, I didn't think you would respond so fast so I went to bed, and I have been sick, so I slept all throughout today.

Posted Apr 15, 2012Hi there,
I'm having a problem and was hoping someone could shed some light on it.
I have bPermissions setup to use single mode. Lets say I have some groups and multiple tracks setup and I set some groups to be allowed to promote along certain tracks.
However if someone tries to promote someone else who is in a group not in the tracks they are allowed to promote to, such as a higher rank, the user they try to promote will go into the first level of the track they entered, regardless if the user they tried to promote was in a higher rank or a different track.
This can be used to demote people in higher ranks to the tracks the lower ranks are allowed to use.
Am I doing something wrong or is this how it works for everyone and just some flaw in bPermissions? How can I prevent this?
Thank you!

Posted Apr 15, 2012I'm not sure what is going on here... I don't know if it is the permission plugin, or one of my other plugins conflicting, or a minecraft update thats bugged me... but groups seem a bit... OFF.
I am not having SEVERE issues, just annoying ones. The groups aren't completely botched, but it seems permission nodes are a bit intertwined. I have basic (default) and citizen groups. I use plugins like stargate and mcMMO. I gave the permission nodes for SOME of mcMMO's skills to basics, and ALL to citizens, but apparently citizens could ONLY use the basic skills, I gave the "/ptp" command permission node ONLY to citizens, but basic members are "ptp'ing" everywhere. I gave the stargate.network.{name} permission node to each of the basic and citizen groups, each with a DIFFERENT network name (to allow stargate use on those specific networks) yet both groups could use ANY stargates they wish.
Like I said, groups aren't completely botched, many other plugins and permissions seem to be working fine... at least as far as I can tell... (number of homes permission nodes per group, showcase creation group node, book creating node, etc seem to all work ONLY for the given group)
This is just really annoying because I have a world set SPECIFICALLY for citizen ranked people and higher, but some commands keep ignoring my given permissions so "Basic" members keep getting through the stargates and party teleporting there. I really love both plugins and features, I just want to slightly limit them without completely either removing the plugin or turning off the whole feature.
I tried updating each plugin, same results, ANY thought on this would be GREATLY appreciated... ALSO, sorry for the super long post, I just wanted to be crystal clear about my problem.

Posted Apr 14, 2012I had allow-offline-mode set to true in my config file, and I think that caused bPerms to replace my files in my world folder with default ones (overriding my hard work). After setting it back to false (the default), recopying the files, and restarting, it didn't seem like the replacing occurred anymore and all the plugins were seeing the right perms. (I also removed the "meta" stuff I specified in the groups.yml at the same time, grasping at straws, so I dunno if that is part of the issue too)
Is "allow-offline-mode: true" not supported or I'm I being an idiot and fooling around with a setting I am clueless about? ;P
Can anyone else reproduce this? [backup those user/group.yml files first! )

Posted Apr 14, 2012This problem is causing me a lot of grief hopefully you know what's causing it.
When I change a user's usergroup they do not "Change" to that usergroup until they talk in chat. Any ideas?

Have you looked in to Multiverse? It could be that the plugin dev don't support the latest bperms where as Multiverse does and can do all that plugin can and more.

Posted Apr 13, 2012Hey, wormhole X-TREME seems to think that bPermissions is not a valid permissions plugin and is not acknowledging it. Any tips?

It is trust me, I don't use essentials and until I installed AntiGuest everyone could build. BTW Try AdminCMD vs Essentials. To me it is way better then essentials :D

Posted Apr 13, 2012I keep getting you are not permitted to build for my default users but I would like to allow them to build. I think it has something to do with essentials protect because when I remove it everything works fine. I will look there.

Posted Apr 12, 2012So I had fallen behind on my plugins and updating them. I updated them all, finally, and, naturally, there are changes. And naturally, nothing works right the first time There are a couple things that I need answers/help on.
First off, in my world/groups.yml file, it reset on /reload the first time I did that. No idea why.
Secondly, how do I tell if a plugin supports *? I am not going to go through and copy and paste every CommandBook and WorldEdit permissions node.
Colors and prefixes don't seems to work with bChatManager and bPermissions.
I get these errors when I use /permissions reload:
No idea what it means... :/
Okay, I know that I should probably provide stuff like versions and stuff, but I don't that is really necessary. If you need anything, then please let know, and I'll be happy to provide. Sorry I sound like such a newb, but nothing seems to ever work for me. :/

Oh my I feel dumb, I read the FAQs a ton but not since the build perm was removed. I am so sorry. Thank you so much this should do just fine.
P.S. Do you have a Jenkins link? I really like seeing updates before they come to dev.bukkit.org with being able to download it without having to compile it like I would from GitHub.
Thank you again

It's answered in the FAQ - antiguest!

Gives you a lot more control than just plain antibuild - but only if you need it!

Why do I have to install a big plugin like towny just to block building? I don't get why you felt the need to remove that permission just cause people assumed it. I am sort of lost here.
I have had hell finding a plugin that just blocks building/removing blocks for people who don't have the permission node to allow to build/break blocks. At least one that does not do a 100 things which over-ride my other plugins I have.

Where would you even add that? None of the bPermissions example files have it.
