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.

1. try using the alias for /world - /w (I must document this)
2. essentialschat doesn't work with bPermissions prefixes. please use an alternative such as bChatManager

Posted Jun 9, 2013This really isn't working well for me. First the world command conflicted with essentials world command. Then the prefixes didn't work. This is far more time wasting and pex, Please tell me how this is any better or get a video that actually tells you how to use this plugin.

Posted Jun 9, 2013@iixXPROXxii, that completely depends on how you have your prefix defined and used.
I used to have prefix defined in bPermissions in the groups.yml file but due to the recent change in factions, I now use Essentials Chat + FactionChat and have moved my prefix definitions inside Essentials config.yml. Each rank has its own prefix text and color. If I wanted someone to not have a prefix, I would move them to a group that does not have a prefix defined.

Make sure you're using the latest version of java. That was my problem with a different plugin.
If that doesn't help you, be sure to post your exact error(s) in [ code ] [ /code ] tags and set the markup type (below where you type these messages) to BBCode.

Posted Jun 8, 2013That would be nice to improove informational commands.
Digging into the code I found the /group list groups|perms and /user list groups|perms but still they aren't very comfortable to use. Reports are very messy, if you have many nodes often you don't have enough space in the chat history screen to display it all. A page division feature witn nextpage/prevpage would be very usefull. Most of all you need to put linebreaks after permissions to make them legible. Last but not least, you miss the command to list existing groups in a give world (something like /world list groups).
Maybe you think such informational commands are not very important, but there are many people like me who manage game dynamics without access to the server control panel, so without the ability to directly check the yml files

Posted Jun 6, 2013I wonder if you would be willing to update your plug in? you have something like 10 people working on Bpermissions and its now 1.5.2 just wondering when to look for an update... And if the current release works for 1.5, 1.5.1, 1.5.2 its a good idea to post that on the front page so folks will be aware of that! -just sayin

Posted Jun 6, 2013I have found that managing permissions on a server that has 40+ plugins on it can be tedious and error-prone when plugins are upgraded over time...sometimes causing misconfiguration issues when perms change.
My perms have always been placed directly in the groups of the users getting the permissions. So groups like the "admin" group is very long-in-the-tooth when it comes to listing out the perms.
I am thinking about breaking out the permissions based on the plugins instead so they are easier to manage as plugins are upgraded/change.
For example, each rank/group that the users will be associated to will now no longer contain specific permissions...but instead contain plugin groups which then contain the actual permission nodes.
Example groups.yml
default: default groups: default: permissions: [] groups: - group.userbukkit - group.useressentials - userbukkit - useressentials meta: prefix: '&8Newbie &9' admin: permissions: [] groups: - adminbukkit - adminessentials - group.adminbukkit - group.adminessentials meta: prefix: '&8Admin &9' adminbukkit: permissions: - bukkit.broadcast - bukkit.broadcast.admin groups: [] meta: [] adminessentials: permissions: - essentials.backup - essentials.broadcast groups: [] meta: [] userbukkit: permissions: - bukkit.broadcast.user groups: [] meta: [] useressentials: permissions: - essentials.help - essentials.motd - essentials.rules groups: [] meta: []Example users.yml
users: johndoe: permissions: [] groups: - default notch: permissions: [] groups: - default - adminQuestion: Can bPermissions handle nesting like this without a problem as it grows? What kind of impact is there on performance?
Thanks, LHammonds

Posted Jun 3, 2013I seem to have an issue where permissions that i changed are not sticking. In the file they are but when a player relogs it goes away. A /permissions reload fixes it until they relog.
More in depth. I am denying mcMMO use on one world for everyone, and essentials flying for a group. I am still investigating this issue and will update if I found a solution. I hope this project isn't dead, I really love bperms and would hate to have to switch.

Posted May 29, 2013I use bPermissions for the permissions and the names colours and prefixes. I have TagAPI because another plugin needs it, but I dont want bPermissions to work with TagAPI because the names are displayed correctly in the chat but not over the player, for example, if I set this prefix: '&b[Wizard] &f' and the name is MomoKona, the name over the head is [Wizard] Mo, what can I do? Where is the problem? I have tried using NameTags but it didn't work. It is ok if the name over the head doesn't change, with the name changed in the chat it is enough
