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.

Tested the following versions and had bugs:
v2.10.6 for 1.6.2 Aug 15, 2013
v2.10.7c for CB 1.6.2-R0.1 Sep 07, 2013
From what I've noticed, it seems like that coupled with the new Bukkit builds (#2982), bPermissions cannot write data to my .yml files. On commands like "/exec u:Parrothead a:addperm v:economy.help", the permission does not get updated to the .yml file at all.
I'm running bPerms on a test server, so it only has permission data for around 10 players, so it's not a large server at all. We've been running the plugin on the server for a year without any issues.
If you need more info for anything, please reply!

Posted Jan 9, 2014I'm aware at how horribly broken bPermissions appears to be. Problem is I have less and less motivation to develop for bPermissions, partly as I don't play minecraft any more, partly due to increased school work.
When I did run a server I personally encountered no issues, although my server was never very busy and wasn't exactly complicated, so it worked perfectly for me. It might be that it doesn't perform well on large servers. Honestly I haven't a clue.
If any developers know how to fix bPermissions, please make a pull request. I literally have no idea what the issues might be. Nothing seems obviously wrong in the code, so it's either an issue with my changes or a fundamental bug in bPermissions.
Can someone with the issues try an older version before my first version, and see if the issues persist?

It has been like that for a while.
For some it works (to some extent), for others it doesn't ;-)

Posted Jan 7, 2014I've been running bPermissions on my server for the past few days, and it had been working perfectly fine. I have had no problems with it until today. I had about 7 people on my server, I hadn't recently installed any new plugins that would perhaps interfere with bPermissions, so that's not quite the issue, but I'll list my plugins if you'd like. So, I had about 7 people on my server, the server randomly crashed, and whenever somebody tried to join, it just said 'bPermissions not enabled' and would not let them connect. I tried uninstalling bPermissions and reinstalling in order to manually add all my permissions again. Right when I installed it again, I recieved the 'bPermissions not enabled' issue again. I need help with that issue most of all, any help or information on this issue would be great. Another issue I'm having is when I'm in-game, and I reload the server installing bPermissions, it doesn't kick me and do the bPermissions not enabled thing since I'm already in-game, and when I try and /user setgroup <group> It says something like 'Internal server error'. So anybody please help AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I've already payed plenty money for my server, and need to fix this as soon as possible. THanks!

Posted Jan 7, 2014I'm running 1.7.2 with bperms 2.12 and I'm having issues using the promote commands. I have my groups set up and mirrored fine, but when I try to promote or demote someone on the ladder, I'm just getting 'invalid promotion'. Any help would be appreciated.

Posted Jan 7, 2014So in Pex I use a rank like this:
So players can only use quarries in worlds other than the over world. I want all permissions to be global with the exception of limited commands, I set the commands in bpermissions to global, then I tried setting just those nodes in the nether Dim-1 and it doesn't seem to be picking them up, I haven't been able to find a solution to this. PEX is no longer activly updated thus why I came over to bpermissions but I need world specific nodes while also using a blanket global file, not one or the other, because every time someone ranks up I don't want to have to go edit the users files for the nether and end.
Edit1: I am using mirroring but I'm still not able to get it to do that world's specific permissions (Dim-1)
Edit2: What I need is a global users file but world specific group files, is that possible? If so how.

Considering that this does not stop players from building things, how would anyone know what permissions YOU would need to give players for them to build?
Go over your plugins and determine which one(s) it is that is going to prevent the players from interacting with the world...

plugin was obtained from dev.bukkit.org. I was using version 2.10.7c of bpermissions and have my server hosted thru a company. I have used that version since it came out with no problem. Only thing that is different on my server than it was before bpermissions went down is I am running the beta 1.7.2 build 2 of craftbukkit were before they went down i still had 1.7.2 build 1. I also reverted back to the dev build of bukkit for 1.7.2 and still had no luck with it working. Hopefully the 2.12 version is out soon, as I have people getting very angry b/c I can't put all perms into the PEX file that I normally ran in my files with bpermissions.

I totally forgot about the possibility of using a 1.7.x version of CraftBukkit. I'm an idiot.
That, and I'm still on 1.5.x. Thanks for the explanation and news update. :)

It could also be a change in the 1.7 dev builds of craftbukkit that bPermissions is currently untested against and, of course, are used at the users own risk.
:)
btw I'm gonna get a beta of the new 2.12 update out at some point in the near future.

"I had loaded a new plugin in to the server along with the permissions for it when bpermissions went down."
Is this plugin privately made? Do you think it could have malware on it? I wouldn't suspect this plugin being the problem, but good to keep our eyes peeled.
"Also loaded bpermissions on a fresh server along with test perms and essentials and it still did not work."
I don't trust testing things with Essentials. Try for an extremely simple, lightweight plugin in conjunction with bPermissions. Not only that, did you try reverting bPermissions to previous versions? If the previous versions work, but the more recent ones don't, that might point to problems specific to the later builds of bPermissions. If they all don't work, the problem is on your side, otherwise there'd be a lot more people flooding the comments.
Where are you running your server by the way? Dedicated hosting company or from your own home? If it's from the company, the issue might be related to them and/or the hardware, but don't take my word for it. It would be a good idea to check though once you've exhausted other options.

I had loaded a new plugin in to the server along with the permissions for it when bpermissions went down. Removed plugin and went with a backup set of permissions and still no dice. On top of that I did a server wipe and installed all fresh copies of my plugins along with a total rewrite of all 800 lines of permissions that were in my permissions file all with no luck. Also loaded bpermissions on a fresh server along with test perms and essentials and it still did not work. Have not tried a jenkins build was running the last stable build of bpermissions. Only other time I ever experienced something like this was when I was trying a new group that had non standard characters in the names. Also I have been using bpermissions of servers for over a year with no issue at all with it till now with the 1.7.x updates.
EDIT: Just installed the jenkins build on the fresh server and still have no luck with it reading the permissions file.
