Hytale·April 2, 2026·13 min read

Hello!

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

(It is important that you know the UUID of the user you want to give permissions to, if you don't know how to get it, here is a brief guide that explains how to do this) https://www.holy.gg/post/como-obtener-el-uuid-de-un-usuario-en-mi-servidor-de-hytale 1- Using commands

We can grant permissions either from the console or from the game (if we have OP), but first, we need to add users to a permission group. To do this, we need to enter the command:

/perm user group add <UUID> <group>

hytale perms

What did we do with that command? We added a user to the "default" group, although this is generally the default group in Hytale.

In this list, we will add all UUIDs to the permission group. Now, we will assign permissions to the default group, for that we will enter the command: /perm group add <group> <permission>

How do I find the permissions? To find the permission code we want to add, we need to use the /help command

Here, all available commands with their respective permissions will be shown, we copy the permission and now we add it to the group using the mentioned command:

/perm group add <group> <permission>

Done! Now we know how to add permissions to a user/group using commands. Below is a list of all permission commands:

Adding permissions from the 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 the server files and look for the file permissions.JSON.

Once inside, you need to find the "default" group and add the permissions you want.
