Permission level
Permission level is used to describe the permissions a player or a command executor has.
For example, in Bedrock Edition, /setmaxplayers can't be executed in a command block, because this command requires the executor to have a permission level of 3, while command blocks have a permission level of only 2.
Effect[edit | edit source]
Levels are incremental, meaning level n + 1 allows anything level n allows.
Java Edition[edit | edit source]
- Level 1 (moderator)
- The player can bypass spawn protection.
- Level 2 (gamemaster)
- The player or executor can use more commands and the player can use command blocks.
- Level 3 (admin)
- The player or executor can use commands related to multiplayer management.
- Level 4 (owner)
- The player or executor can use all of the commands, including commands related to server management.
Bedrock Edition[edit | edit source]
- In different levels, the corresponding commands can be used by the player. All levels inherit commands from levels before them.
Definition[edit | edit source]
Java Edition[edit | edit source]
In Java Edition, the permission level can be 0 (all), 1 (moderator), 2 (gamemaster), 3 (admin), and 4 (owner).
- A command block or a minecart with command block has a permission level of 2.
- The console of a server has a permission level of 4.
- A function has a permission level of 2 (but it can be changed in server.properties).
- For a player:
- If the player is an operator in a dedicated server, their permission level is specified in the ops.json file, and its default value is specified in server.properties.
- If the player is the owner or another operator in a Realm, their permission level is 2.
- If the player is in a singleplayer world or is the owner of a LAN world, and cheats are enabled, their permission level is 4.
- If the player is in a cheat-allowed LAN world, permission level is 4.
- Otherwise, the player's permission level is 0.
Bedrock Edition[edit | edit source]
In Bedrock Edition, the permission level can be 0 (Any / Normal), 1 (Game Directors / Operator), 2 (Admin / Host), 3 (Host / Automation), and 4 (Owner / Admin). (The first names in parentheses are from the official documentation, and the second names are from the debug infomation of BDS)
- A command block or a minecart with command block has a permission level of 1.
- The console of a server has a permission level of 4.
- A function as well as a script in Add-ons has a permission level of 1.
- For a player:
- In a dedicated server, if the player's "Operator Commands" option is enabled in the "Player Permission" screen, their permission level is 1 by default (which can be changed in server.properties).
- In a singleplayer world or a LAN world, if the player's "Operator Commands" option is enabled in the "Player Permission" screen, permission level is 3.
- Otherwise, the player's permission level is 0.[needs testing]
Note that the player's permission level differs from their level in the pause menu screen and "Player Permission" screen in Bedrock Edition, which includes Visitor/Member/Operator/Custom. However, operators in singleplayer worlds always have a command permission level of 3, because its Operator Commands option is enabled. Similarly, visitors and members have a permission level of 0.
