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.

Upgrade towny to dev build
Install permissions 2 bridge from permissionsbukkit
@deathnote1029
You need to manually do it, there's no automated import from 2.1.4 - but you just split the file into users.yml (users) groups.yml (groups).

Posted Jan 10, 2012Thanks codename_b. As mentioned, figured it was something stupid.
After trying toupgrade from 2.1.4b to 2.6.1, i get a few errors related to plugins. Since it happened with permissions upgrade i wanted to start here.

bPermissions no longer handles building due to this error people were having (with essentials).
We hoped that they'd take notice that it wasn't bPermissions causing it but rather essentials if we removed the anti-build node completely.

Posted Jan 10, 2012Just updated to the latest release, and copied the old permission nodes over, and I've run into a familiar foe of not being able to build while OP. If I deop myself, I can build fine, but then I have no other permissions, seemingly. I figured I'm overlooking something obvious, but anyone care to point this out?

Please open a ticket with the relevant information.
@11RJB
Those look like 1.x tracks, you should check out the format for the new tracks!
@GOKUSSL4
You mean /permissions reload or /reload ? If you do a /reload then it will print what's in memory to file onDisable to ensure no data is lost (overriding any changes you made).

Hi, someone else sent me their files. It's probably totally likely this is what you did too.
"Hi, since you've sent me that I can tell you the reason it isn't working is you're trying to import an alpha (2.1.4a) file with the (1.x) importer.
You moved the file world.yml from the root to where it rests now.
The good news is that all is not lost! You can simply split that file yourself into users and groups, the format is 100% identical to the new files, it's just split into users.yml and groups.yml."

Posted Jan 9, 2012meta:
priority: '80'
prefix: '&f[&4Administrator&f]&c'
suffix: '&f[&4Ninja&f]&c'
is this correct?
Prefixes i can get to seem to work manually ,but suffix no go and the meta command doesn't seem to work on reload.
I save and reload and prefix changes if edited manually suffix seems to have trouble.
This is in the users.yml

Posted Jan 9, 2012Still on 1.9.2, does anyone else have the issue where users stop being automatically added to your YML? I'm not sure exactly what changed but they aren't being logged and automatically dropped in the usual group setting anymore. This is bad news :/

its appreciated but im at work and nowhere near my actual server, i have the permission files though im not able to give them out due to the usernames in them and our data policies (the sentiment is appreciated though)
I have pretty much decided to go back to the official permissions the commands being the main reason when your adding 5 users to group registered typing it once into the console then taping up and changing the name is much easier then all these commands...as for promotions when i first moved to bpermissions i couldnt set them up, they added every grroup in the track not just the next one along, i was told this was intentional.
i wish you and your plugin all the best and may re-look at it when its commands are simplier and its command and file structure are more set in stone

@mrgreaper please run "permissions backup" to backup your bPermissions folder and send me the zip it creates.
I'd like to fix the import for you.
The new method makes working on things a lot easier to understand, I know the commands are shorter and there's more of them but you can use promotion tracks to do it in one (/promote mrgreaper)

oh... well the import does not work meaning a complete rewrite of my permission files! all the commands have changed so now to do what i could do in one basic command i have to do in about 4 or 5 commands
/bp global addgroup admins mrgreaper
/user mrgreaper /world all ? /user addgroup admins
what was wrong with the old method? it was one of the reasons we moved to bpermissions in the first place grrr
sorry, i know you do this for free and really im greatfull that you guys do but this is a massive inconvience and a major step backwards
