What PermissionManager is
PermissionManager is a lightweight permission management plugin for Minecraft servers running Paper or Folia. Administrators can add a permission node to a player with `/perm add <playerName> <permissionNode>` or remove one with `/perm remove <playerName> <permissionNode>`. Use of `/perm` requires the `perm.use` permission. Configuration is stored in the YAML files `groups.yml` and `uses.yml`, and `/perm reload` reloads that configuration.
The project is categorized as an Admin Tools resource and lists English support. Its pinned version is 1.0.6-20240721, with a stated Minecraft version range of 1.20.2–1.21; Hangar provides a download labeled `1.20.2-1.21`. The project includes a GPL-3.0 license and is described as free. Its listed storage backend is YAML files.
