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.

Posted Jun 18, 2012Whenever I set a prefix for a certain person, it overrides the group prefix they have. Is there any way to have both prefixes added? I want to add a donator tag to only certain users while keeping their group changable, but whenever I put the donator tag on the user in the users.yml, the prefix from groups.yml is ignored. Is there a way to have both?

Well then its likely one of your other plugins (or spawn protection radius in bukkit.yml)
but I can guarantee it's NOT bPermissions

codename.
I've tried using the essentials.build node, but that still doesn't give my players the ability to build.

1. Yes, you didn't read the FAQ. 2. You should consult the documentation for Essentials (as that's your issue, oh dear) 3. /op playername is the command to give "playername" all permissions

Posted Jun 16, 2012codename. Please help me. You don't understand the measure of mental stress that has kept me glued to this screen since 10am this morning, and it's 11pm now. I have tried groupmanager, permissionsEX, PermissionsBukkit, I HAVE TRIED THEM ALL!!! None seem to work right, one always has something wrong with it.
Yours is probably my last hope, the fact that the configuration was a cakewalk made this soooo much better. But please help me now. How do I give my default player group permission to build? and please if you can, check my permissions over:
My other plugins are: Voxelupdate, Worldedit, Cannons, Buycraft, Worldedit, WorldGuard, Logblock, VoxelPort, AntiCreeper3, HomespawnPlus, ShowCaseStandalone, Citizens, EssentialsProtect, EssentialsSpawn, EssentialsChat, BOSEconomy, and AntiCheat.
The server is hosted through AvanteHosting
Tell me:
1. Am I doing something wrong? 2. What is the node to give a player building capabilities? 3. What is the node to give a admin all commands possible?

Before updating bPermissions has a very handy command to make an automatic backup for you - that way if anything goes wrong - nothing is wrong!
/permissions backup

yep, well it has been fixed now, try to re-establish your permissions, save the file as backup and reload, if it is removed again, there still are errors. Try a yaml parser to find errors

Posted Jun 16, 2012haha ok that was a bit rash, i should explain a bit better, so i ahd my groups.yml set a while ago and everything was fine, i had no problems with it so i have never needed to change it.. i started the server up just then and the players kept saying that they cannot do certain commands. So i took a look at the groups.yml to see wats going on, under my user, trusted user and usermod groups, all permission nodes where gone and my Moderator group had all the permission nodes (one ones i have given to the other groups) also, new groups had been created as the player names with no permissions. in the user.yml players groups where set to there group names that where created. to note, i have not changed anything to the groups or users nore the config. no one but me can change what groups players are in and no one is op but me
