How to Grant OP Permissions on a Minecraft Bedrock Server

Minecraft·March 22, 2026·3 min read

OP (Operator) permissions on a Minecraft Bedrock server refer to administrative privileges granted to in-game players. These permissions allow individuals to execute specific commands and control various aspects of the game, such as teleportation, item spawning, and changing game rules. Server administrators should exercise caution when assigning OP permissions, as they can significantly affect the game experience and balance. Balancing the use of OP permissions is essential to ensure fair and enjoyable gameplay for all participants on the Minecraft Bedrock server.

Note: The Xbox Live Gamertag is needed to give a player OP permissions. They must also be online on the server.

Note: Some commands will require having cheats enabled on the Bedrock server.
