Good starting permissions

One page you will notice comes up in almost every plugin chapter is the Good starting permissions page.

Every plugin defines permissions that determine who can access which commands. Using a plugin called LuckPerms, we can give different groups of people access to different commands. See the LuckPerms chapter for help on adding permissions to groups, users, etc.

For each plugin you install, if you want to restrict or give access to its commands, you need to set up the permissions for it. Each chapter has a page which outlines some good permissions you should give to three groups: default, moderator and admin.

Default permissions

Default permissions are those permissions that are given to every player on your server.

Any permissions under this section should be given to your default group. You should run this command for every PERMISSION in the list:

/lp group default permission set PERMISSION

Moderator permissions

Moderator permissions are those permissions given to your mods: moderators usually teleport around the server in spectator, catching cheaters and rolling back any griefing that occurs.
They do not deal with plugin issues or any other server-side issue; that's reserved for admins.

Any permissions under this section should be given to your moderator group. You should run this command for every PERMISSION in the list:

/lp group moderator permission set PERMISSION

Admin permissions

Admin permissions are those permissions given to your admins: admins generally do what mods do, and so your admin group should inherit from your moderator group.
Admins do more than that, though: they also deal with configuring plugins, server configuration and anything else regarding the server itself. So admins need more permissions than moderators.

Any permissions under this section should be given to your admin group. You should run this command for every PERMISSION in the list:

/lp group admin permission set PERMISSION
