How to Set Up OP/Admin Permissions (Bedrock)

Giving players operator (OP) or admin permissions on your Bedrock server allows them to use commands like /gamemode, /tp, or manage other players. This guide shows how to safely grant OP access using the Bedrock permissions system. ✔️

​
⛏️ Step 1: Understand Bedrock Permission Levels

Bedrock Edition uses a built-in permission system with four levels:
  • visitor – Cannot break/place blocks
  • member – Standard player access
  • operator – Can use commands and manage players
  • custom – Advanced permission settings (rarely used)

​
➕ Step 2: Add an Operator via Console

  • ➡️ Go to your game panel and open the Console
  • ➡️ Use the command: op PlayerName
  • ✔️ Replace PlayerName with the exact Bedrock username
✅ The player will now have operator permissions next time they join.

​
⏰ Step 3: Remove OP Status

To revoke admin access:
  • ➡️ Use the command: deop PlayerName
  • ✔️ This will return the player to standard member access

​
⚔️ Alternative: Edit permissions.json Manually

You can also assign permissions by editing the permissions.json file:
  • ➡️ Go to the File Manager
  • ➡️ Open or create permissions.json in the root server directory
  • ➡️ Use the format:
[
  {
    "permission": "operator",
    "xuid": "1234567890123456"
  }
]
✔️ You will need the player’s XUID to use this method.
