# Managing Player Permissions

First of all, when you make changes to your `ranks_config.json` file, you can simply use the command `perm.reload` to reload the configuration rather than restarting the server everytime.

### How to set user ranks ?

In order to set a user rank you can use the command `perm.setrank`.\
The command syntax is `perm.setrank <username/steamid>`.\
Here's some examples :

```
perm.setrank TeK admin
perm.setrank TeK user
perm.setrank 76561198127513494 vip
```

### How to grant/revoke permissions ?

If you have all your ranks ready but you just want to give a few extra permissions to a specific user, you can use the `perm.grant` and `perm.revoke` commands.\
The commands syntax is `perm.grant <username/steamid> <permission>` (same for revoke)\
Here's some examples :&#x20;

```
perm.grant TeK worldprotection.*
perm.grant TeK *.*
perm.grant TeK myplugin.commands.hi
perm.revoke TeK myplugin.commands.hi
perm.revoke 76561198127513494 myplugin.commands.hi
```
