This quickstart guide will help you with the Hytale Permissions List.
The Hytale permissions system is the backbone of server management, defining exactly what players can do within a world. It determines access to commands, tools, and administrative functions, ensuring that every player—from casual adventurers to full administrators - operates within the right boundaries. Hytale organizes permissions through a combination of user‑specific settings and group‑based roles, all managed through a central permissions.json file or in‑game commands. This structure allows server owners to build clear hierarchies where groups like Default, Moderator, and Admin inherit or expand capabilities as needed. Properly configured permissions not only keep servers secure but also unlock advanced features such as world‑editing, moderation tools, backups, and plugin‑based commands.
