What PermissionManager is
PermissionManager is a free permission-management plugin for Minecraft servers running Paper or Folia. Administrators can use `/perm add <playerName> <permissionNode>` to give a player a permission node, or `/perm remove <playerName> <permissionNode>` to remove one. Access to `/perm` requires the `perm.use` permission. The project names `groups.yml` and `uses.yml` as configuration files, and `/perm reload` reloads that configuration. YAML files are the listed storage backend. The project includes a GPL-3.0 license and supports English. Its listed pinned version is 1.0.6-20240721, with a stated Minecraft version range of 1.20.2–1.21; Hangar offers a download labeled `1.20.2-1.21`. The resource is categorized as an Admin Tools item. PermissionManager focuses on individual player permissions: it does not list group inheritance, network support, a web editor, or temporary permissions. The repository page does not state a product price or paid plan, or describe support terms.
