Permissions

Permissions are a way of giving players the ability to do certain things. You don't want everyone to be able to shutdown your server. That is where a permissions plugin comes in. It allows you to set up an advanced way of telling players what they are able to do and what they can't do. There are a lot of permission plugins. A few in no particular order: PermissionsEx, GroupManager, bPermissions, zPermissions, PermissionsBukkit, etc.

You can find a list of permissions plugins on Spigot or Bukkit.
