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 Aug 27, 2013I would just like to share that my permissions stopped being cleared ever since I updated to the R: v2.10.7 for 1.6.2 Aug 18, 2013. I was a loud voice in here to try getting this taken care of, and I would like to thank the developers for getting it done. I see there are a few people still saying they're having this issue, and I do not know if they're using the latest version or not. Thanks again!

Posted Aug 26, 2013Is bPermissions known to work correctly with MCPC+? I am building a MCPC+ 1.6.2 test server (currently mcpc-plus-1.6.2-R0.2-Forge836-B56) and I'm trying to use bPermissions for my permissions plugin, but I seem to be unable to grant players any permissions. For instance, all players are supposed to be able to use /help, but nobody who isn't opped can.
Is this a known (or expected) issue?

Posted Aug 26, 2013Ok, this can sound a bit stupid, but I didn't find any info about this in here :c
Where can I see the permissions nodes list for bPermissions?
Thanks.

The 2.10 builds do not allow adding suffixes with spaces like " &f[Owner]" so I will have to use 2.11.1 for now because there it is still possible. Can you please add this feature back in Rymate?

Posted Aug 26, 2013@10jared105, you did not specify the version of bPermissions you are using, nor CraftBukkit, Java, operating system, etc. Do you have "auto-save" set to true in config.yml? Do you stop your server cleanly each day or just close it out? Have you tried issuing "p save" from the console before shutting down?

Posted Aug 25, 2013I might as well re-post this with a few updates because I wasn't able to work out a solution and it got lost in the comments pages back:
I'm having a little trouble with my users.yml file in my "world" folder of bPermissions. I have it set up so that all the worlds mirror off of that one and I checked and they are because all the other users.yml files in the other folders (including the main bPermissions folder) are blank. I checked and all my files are set up right. The tracks.yml is good, the config.yml, the mirrors.yml, and the groups.yml in the "world" folder. The users.yml file in the "world" folder is not blank, however, because it used to work before. Now, if someone new joins the server, bPermissions puts them as my default first rank and if I promote them manually through the /promote command or if AutoRank (usually the main way people rank up in my server) does it, it appears that they are the new rank in game but the users.yml file is not changed so when the server restarts, they no longer have that rank and they are back to the start. I figured out it wasn't AutoRank causing the problem because I tested it by doing /demote [myself] to see that it did not change in the users.yml file. What do I do? How do I fix it? I tried deleting the files so it spawns new ones and pasting the old stuff in the files but it still didn't work. Thanks.

Posted Aug 25, 2013@WauloK, thanks for the suggestion but that won't work very well. bPermissions doesn't tend to do so well with multiple reloads. It eventually dies and keeps any commands from working, thus requiring a reboot of the server.
I don't use setgroup because that would wipe out whatever other groups they belong to. When people donate to the server, they have special permission groups added to their account to which they donated for. So I can only use addgroup or rmgroup. If they choose an overall rank, I issue rmgroup commands to remove all ranks and then just 1 addgroup command to add the correct one which avoids unnecessary buildup of ranks which are designed to be only 1 per player.
If a reload is the only solution, then I might need a developer to look at my setup and see why multiple reloads eventually crashes. It has 1,950 lines in it for over 50 plugins and utilizing inheritance.

Either myworld plugin author rewrites it with a different command or you find out how to edit .jar files :)

/permissions reload
Possibly try setgroup instead of addgroup or they will get two groups. One will override the other.

Posted Aug 24, 2013Is there a way for permissions assigned in-game to take effect immediately without requiring the player to logout/login? I use signs to give players ranks in-game which does an addgroup to give extra permissions such as access to Essentials multiple homes. However, the permission does not take effect immediately. The player must logout and log back in.
I am using CraftBukkit 1.6.2 BETA, bPermissions 2.10.7 and Java 1.7.0_25 (64-bit) on Ubuntu Server 12.04.2 LTS (64-bit)
Thanks,
LHammonds

Posted Aug 23, 2013If I had a node like "plugin.example" under the rank "player", then had the negated note, "^plugin.example" under the rank "player+", which one takes priority? (Is it the one with the higher "priority" value assigned to the group? What if - for some reason - the two groups had the same priority value?)

Posted Aug 22, 2013I'm trying out http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/my-worlds/ and trying to get it to work with this plugin. And whenver I try to do a MyWorld /world command like /world create bPermissions' /world command seems to be overriding it and I get:
[INFO] [bPermissions] Too many arguments.
How would I go about getting around this?

Check some of the other pages, people are still getting permission files cleared when you use GLOBAL files... If you use world files it kinda works, but is a huge hassle for multi-world servers.

Posted Aug 21, 2013Ever going to be updating? I think I may switch to bpermissions eventually, and use many of the side plugins that come with it. Especially the webgui, I just hate using underdated plugins.
But beside that, does it still work with 1.6.2? All or most of them?

or he could edit the configs, add perm nodes ranks etc. then do /permissions reload and /permissions save. It will reload permissions into the "new updated" configs and then saves it ...
