Permissions

Every permission node in SnPacketBosses defaults to op. A fresh install therefore gives normal players nothing, and operators get the full admin surface. Grant the nodes explicitly through your permissions plugin to reach non-operator staff ranks.

The parent node and its children

snpacketbosses.admin declares an exhaustive children map. Granting it grants all eight child nodes at once, the lock bypass included. Give a staff rank the parent when you want the whole admin surface, or pick individual children when you want a narrower role.

The parent node also gates the root command itself. No subcommand of /packetbosses is player facing, so a player without the parent never opens an empty help page.

What the lock bypass actually does

While a fight is active, the plugin can lock the owner down. It can block commands outside the allowlist, block every teleport, and block flight in the configured worlds. All of that is configured under locks in config.yml.

A player holding snpacketbosses.admin.lock-bypass is exempt from all three locks. Use it for staff who need to move, teleport or fly while a fight of their own is running. Spectating admins are never locked, because the locks only apply to the owner of a fight.

Players need nothing

There is no player-facing permission node. Summoning a boss requires only a boss egg in hand, and eggs are tradeable between players. Access control for regular players is the egg itself, not a permission.
