In this guide we are going to go over the Permissions Manager for your Hytale server. WIth the Permissions Manager you will be able to create permission groups, edit the permissions for those and default groups or add players to either groups you create or just provide operator/OP permissions to users. By default, any player that joins including yourself will be in the Default group that has no permissions.

  1. Open your Dashboard.

  2. Locate your Hytale server and click on the Panel button.

  3. Once on your Hytale server, click on the Players tab.

Conclusion

The Hytale permission system is a rather impressive system for being included in the base game.
