In this guide, you will learn how to change what each player group can do on your Portal Knights server, such as who can build, open chests, use crafting stations or kick players.

Player Groups

Portal Knights has three player groups. Players are put in a group based on the password they join with.

Group	Password They Join With	Default Access
`admins`	Admin Password	Everything, including kicking players.
`guests`	Guest Password	Can only look around. Guests can only join when Guest Login is enabled.
`users`	Server Password	Everything except kicking players.

Editing Group Permissions

1
Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
2
In the sidebar, go to Files and navigate to dedicated_server.
3
Open server_config.json.
4
Find the admins, users or guests section and set each permission to true or false.
5
Save the file and start your server.

Leave the password lines and the guests' canLogin alone in this file. Those are set from your Settings page.

Here is an example guests section that lets guests use crafting stations and talk to NPCs, without letting them build or open chests.

"guests": {
    "credentials": {
        "password": ""
    },
    "canLogin": true,
    "canKickPlayers": false,
    "canModifyWorld": false,
    "canInteractWithCraftingStations": true,
    "canInteractWithChests": false,
    "canInteractWithNPCs": true
}

Permissions List

Permission	Description
`canInteractWithChests`	Allows opening and using chests. To stop a group taking chests, also set `canModifyWorld` to `false`, otherwise they can still mine them.

`canInteractWithNPCs`	Allows talking to NPCs.
`canKickPlayers`	Allows kicking other players from the server.
