To grant OP permissions to yourself or other players, you first need to open the console if no other player already has sufficient OP rights, as assigning them directly in-game won't be possible otherwise.
To open the console, first access the server via the Dashboard. In the server interface, you will find the "Console" tab at the top.
You should now see a dark window representing the server console. Below it is an input field where you can enter any commands to the console. To set OP permissions, type the command op player (without the "/") into the input field and then click the green "Send Command" button to send the command to the console.
After a few seconds, the sent command should appear in the console, followed by the message "Made player a server operator," confirming the successful action. The player now has full OP permissions and can, for example, change the game mode.
Assigning OP permissions is now also possible directly in-game. If you want to use this, you should adjust the permission level as explained in the next step.
OP permissions are divided into four levels, with level 4 set by default. Each level includes different rights, allowing you to roughly categorize permissions among players. The rights for each level are:
| Level | Description | Permissions |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Moderator | Allowed to make changes in the protected spawn area. |
| 2 | Gamemaster | Can place and edit command blocks and execute various cheat commands (e.g., /gamemode). |
| 3 | Admin | Can kick and ban players and use other commands related to general server administration. Can appoint other operators. |
| 4 | Owner | No restrictions. |
With a permissions plugin like LuckPerms on your Bukkit/Spigot server, you can configure permissions much more specifically and in detail. It is also possible to create multiple groups, simplifying permission management.
