💠 Setting up Groups

To set a subgroup to a group, use: /lp group parent set

View a group's info: /lp group info
Set a group's weight: /lp group setweight

You must use a chat plugin such as EssentialsChat, ChatControl or UltimateChat 2 to show prefixes in chat.

🗺️ WebEditor - The Best Way to Edit Permissions 🗺️

The Web Editor is an online editor for your permissions. Using it you will not have to use commands anymore, but you will use its interface to configure the permissions. It is the best way to edit your LuckPerm's permissions.

To create an editor session for all groups and any online users, do the following:

Use the following command: /lp editor

[Old WebEditor]

Once you've finished making changes to the data, you need to save your changes on the server. Click on the Save button, or use the CTRL + S keyboard shortcut to save. The editor will generate a command which you need to run in-game or in the console for your changes to apply. Simply clicking on the command will copy it to your clipboard.

When you run the command, a summary of the changes will be shown.
