Hello!
In this guide, we’ll show you how to assign permissions to users. This will allow them to use commands without needing to give them OP/admin access.

(It’s important that you know the UUID of the user you want to grant permissions to. If you don’t know how to get it, here’s a short guide that explains how to do so.) https://www.holy.gg/en/post/how-to-get-a-user-s-uuid-on-your-hytale-server 1- Using Commands
You can grant permissions either from the console or directly in-game (if you have OP). First, you need to add users to a permission group.
To do this, run the following command:
/perm user group add <UUID> <group>

What did we do with that command? We added a user to the “default” group, which is usually Hytale’s default permission group.
In this list, we’ll add all the UUIDs to the permission group. Now, we’re going to assign permissions to the default group. To do this, run the following command:
/perm group add <group> <permission>
How do I find permissions?
To know the code of the permission you want to add, use the command:
/help
This will show all available commands along with their corresponding permissions. Copy the permission you need, and then add it to the group using the command mentioned earlier:
/perm group add <group> <permission>

Done! Now you know how to add permissions to a user or group using commands.Below is a list of all permission-related commands:
Command | Description |
/perm user list <uuid> | Displays all permissions of the user. |
/perm user add <uuid> <permissions> | Adds permissions to a user. |
/perm user remove <uuid> <permissions> | Removes permissions from a user. |
/perm user group list <uuid> | Displays the user's group permission |
/perm user group add <uuid> <group> | Adds the user to a permission group. |
/perm user group remove <uuid> <group> | Removes the user from the permission group. |
/perm group list <group> | Displays all permissions of a group. |
/perm group add <group> <permissions> | Adds permissions to a group. |
/perm group remove <group> <permissions> | Removes permissions from a group. |
Adding Permissions via Server Files
We already know how to add permissions using commands, but if you prefer, you can do it through the configuration files. To do this, go to your server files and locate the permissions.JSON file.

Once inside, locate the “default” group and add the permissions you want.

Done! Now you know how to add permissions to users on your Hytale server.
