Privileges Manager
A visual, searchable GUI for managing player privileges in Luanti (Minetest). Works on Minetest Game and Mineclonia / VoxeLibre, and can manage offline players as well as online ones.
Features
- Searchable player list with a search bar — type part of a name and press Enter (or click Search) to filter. Online players are shown first (● green) above offline players (○ grey).
- Toggle switches for every registered privilege. Click a switch to grant (green ON) or revoke (grey OFF) instantly. Each switch shows the privilege description as a tooltip.
- Offline player support — every account known to the server's auth database is listed, so you can adjust privileges for players who aren't connected. You can also open any player by exact name (bottom-left field), which works even for accounts that don't exist yet.
- Game-aware look — the formspec uses real coordinates (formspec v4) and adapts its palette to Minetest Game or the Mineclone family automatically.
- Respects the engine permission model — you need the
privsprivilege to manage any privilege, orbasic_privsto manage only the privileges listed in thebasic_privssetting. Privileges you may not grant are shown locked (🔒). Permissions are re-checked on the server for every toggle, so the GUI can't be used to escalate privileges.
Usage
/privman— open the manager./privman <player>— open it with a player pre-selected./privileges_manager— alias for/privman.
On games with sfinv (e.g. Minetest Game) a Privileges tab is added to the inventory for players who may use it. On games with unified_inventory a button is added too.
Notes
- Granting a privilege to a name that has never logged in creates a new account
with the server's default password — exactly like the
/grantcommand. - Changes take effect immediately; online players are notified in chat.
