Managing Permissions

Managing permissions properly ensures that your Discord community cannot abuse features like Server Commands, Chat Bridges, or Moderation tools.

Discord Slash Command Permissions

By default, powerful slash commands (such as /ban, /kick, /command, /rolesync, and /customize) are restricted to members with the Administrator permission. If you want to grant these commands to specific roles (like your Moderators or Admins) without giving them global server administrator rights, use Discord's built-in Integrations menu.

How to configure Discord permissions

1. Navigate to your Server Settings.
2. Click on Integrations under the Apps section.
3. Click on the MC Linker bot or search for it.
4. You will see a list of commands. You can click on specific commands (like /ban) or apply rules globally.
5. Add specific Roles or Members to allow or deny them from using the command. You can also restrict commands to specific channels.

(Navigate to Server Settings > Integrations to fine-tune slash commands)

Minecraft Permissions

Some plugin/mod commands executed in-game (like /linker connect, /linker reload, etc.) require explicit permissions to ensure unauthorized players cannot link your server to their own bots.

By default, OP (Operator) status is required to run administrative /linker commands.

If you prefer to assign permissions per group rather than giving players OP, you should use a permission management plugin like LuckPerms or a Vault-compatible plugin.

• Vault GitHub: Vault acts as an API to tie into generic Bukkit string-based permission handlers.
