Palworld 1.0 added proper guild ranks and permissions, giving Guild Masters more control over who can manage members, build structures, and touch the all-important Palbox. It is much safer than trusting every new recruit with the keys to the kingdom. ## How to Open the Guild Settings Only players with the required permission can change guild rank settings. 1. Open the in-game menu. 2. Select **Guild**. 3. Select **Guild Settings**. ![Dark UI featuring a grey 'Guild Settings' button outlined in red, with a dim purple 'Leave' button beneath.](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/312x152/650ef06e74/palworld-open-guild-settings.png/m/) The **Rank** tab controls guild permissions. The **Notifications** tab controls which guild activity messages appear. ## Palworld Guild Permissions Explained Each rank can be given access to the following permissions: - **Approve Player Requests:** Accept players who request to join the guild. - **Kick Player:** Remove members from the guild. - **Modify Rank Permission:** Change which permissions are enabled for each rank. - **Change Player Ranks:** Promote or demote guild members. - **Place/Remove Structures:** Build and dismantle structures within guild bases. - **Structure Security Setting:** Change which ranks can access supported structures. - **Place/Remove Palbox:** Build or dismantle a guild Palbox. - **Manage Base Pals:** Assign and manage Pals working at guild bases. Be especially careful with **Place/Remove Palbox**. Accidentally removing a Palbox is a very efficient way to turn base management into base rebuilding. ## Default Palworld Guild Rank Permissions Palworld includes four guild ranks: Guild Master, Sub Master, Member, and Guest. Each rank begins with its own default permissions. ### Guild Master The Guild Master has every permission enabled: - Approve Player Requests - Kick Player - Modify Rank Permission - Change Player Ranks - Place/Remove Structures - Structure Security Setting - Place/Remove Palbox - Manage Base Pals ![Guild management interface: left rank list with Guild Master highlighted; right column shows permissions with ON/OFF toggles.](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1816x610/d9fae39231/palworld-guild-master-default-permissions.png/m/1000x0/smart) The Guild Master has full control over the guild and its permission settings. ### Sub Master The Sub Master begins with the following permissions enabled: - Approve Player Requests - Change Player Ranks - Place/Remove Structures - Structure Security Setting - Manage Base Pals The following permissions are disabled by default: - Kick Player - Modify Rank Permission - Place/Remove Palbox ![Dark game UI showing rank selection with Guild Master and Sub Master highlighted; right side lists permissions with ON/OFF toggles.](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1808x626/3aa52d8006/palworld-sub-master-default-permissions.png/m/1000x0/smart) This makes Sub Master a useful rank for trusted administrators. They can help manage members and bases without automatically receiving complete control over the guild. ### Member Members begin with two permissions enabled: - Place/Remove Structures - Manage Base Pals The following permissions are disabled: - Approve Player Requests - Kick Player - Modify Rank Permission - Change Player Ranks - Structure Security Setting - Place/Remove Palbox ![Guild management screen: left rank menu (Guild Master, Sub Master, Member selected, Guest); right side shows permissions with ON/OFF toggles.](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1818x622/9f7e13cf25/palworld-member-default-permissions.png/m/1000x0/smart) The default Member rank allows players to help build and manage working Pals without giving them administrative control. ### Guest Every permission is disabled for Guests by default. ![Guild permissions screen with left role list (Guild Master, Sub Master, Member, Guest) and right-side permissions with ON/OFF toggles.](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1788x609/96769907ca/palworld-guest-default-permissions.png/m/1000x0/smart) Guest is the safest rank for new or untrusted players. They cannot manage members, build structures, change security settings, manage base Pals, or interact with Palbox placement. ## How to Change Guild Rank Permissions 1. Open **Guild Settings**. 2. Remain on the **Rank** tab. 3. Select **Sub Master**, **Member**, or **Guest**. 4. Change the desired permission from **OFF** to **ON**, or from **ON** to **OFF**. 5. Exit the menu after making your changes. Players with **Modify Rank Permission** enabled may also be able to change these settings. Keep that permission limited to people you trust. ## How to Change a Player's Guild Rank Players with the **Change Player Ranks** permission can promote or demote guild members. 1. Open the **Guild** menu. 2. Select the guild member you want to manage. 3. Select the option to change their rank. 4. Assign the desired rank. Use **Guest** for restricted access, **Member** for regular players, and **Sub Master** for trusted guild administrators. ## Structure Security Settings Certain structures can be restricted to specific guild ranks. A player needs the **Structure Security Setting** permission to change those restrictions. This can be used to protect important storage, equipment, or other supported structures while still allowing members to use the rest of the base. A player may still be blocked from a structure even when their rank normally has access to guild facilities. Check the security setting applied directly to the structure when troubleshooting access problems. ## Guild Notification Settings The **Notifications** tab includes four optional guild notifications: - Member Joined Notifications - Member Left Notifications - Member Login Notifications - Member Logout Notifications All four notifications are disabled by default. ![Dark in-game Palworld settings panel: Notifications tab active, four notification types with OFF selected (blue) and ON to the right.](https://cms-a.nodecraft.com/f/133932/1807x486/7d03053667/palworld-guild-notification-settings.png/m/1000x0/smart) Enable the notifications that are useful for your guild. Login and logout messages can help smaller groups coordinate, but they may become noisy on a busy server. ## Conclusion Palworld guild ranks make it much easier to share a base without giving every member complete control. Start with the default permissions, promote trusted players gradually, and keep dangerous management permissions limited. A little permission setup now can save you from returning later to find that your base has become a scenic empty field.
