info

The list below uses a recommended and common naming style. Verify the exact permission names in the final plugin build before publishing public documentation.

eventdirector.use	Basic user command access.	Players / Staff

eventdirector.admin	General administrative access.	Admin

LuckPerms examples

Give full EventDirector access to an admin group:

/lp group admin permission set eventdirector.* true

Give only GUI access to a staff member:

/lp user StaffName permission set eventdirector.gui true

Give event staff basic command access:

/lp group eventstaff permission set eventdirector.help true
/lp group eventstaff permission set eventdirector.gui true

Permissions to protect

Always protect:

• eventdirector.restore;
• eventdirector.safemode;
• eventdirector.setup;
• eventdirector.reload;
• eventdirector.*.

Practical permission setup

Use two staff levels:

Group	Permissions
Event staff	GUI, help, basic event commands
Technical admin	Backup, restore, reload, safe mode, setup

This prevents event organizers from accidentally changing critical technical settings.
