Permissions

HeadDB provides broad permission bundles and granular command or GUI nodes.

Recommended setup

Players: headdb.basic
Staff:   headdb.admin

headdb.admin bypasses individual HeadDB permission checks and should only be granted to trusted administrators.

Top-level bundles

Permission	Purpose
headdb.admin	Grants complete HeadDB access.
headdb.basic	Grants normal player access, including GUI, browse, search, favorites, taking heads, category access, and language settings.
headdb.open	Opens the root GUI.
headdb.browse	Browses categories and result GUIs.
headdb.search	Uses search and browse-list commands.
headdb.head.take	Takes heads from GUIs.
headdb.give	Gives remote heads to yourself.
headdb.give.others	Gives remote heads to other players.
headdb.player-heads	Uses player-head functionality for yourself.
headdb.player-heads.others	Gives other players' heads or targets another recipient.
headdb.favorites	Uses favorites.
headdb.settings	Opens player settings and language selection.
headdb.admin-mode	Toggles Admin Mode.
headdb.head-edit	Edits local metadata overrides.
headdb.gui-admin	Uses GUI administration tools.
headdb.database	Uses database, diagnostics, reload, report, update, and item-cache administration.

Some existing bundle names retain the legacy more-heads and more-categories wording for compatibility:

Permission	Current feature
headdb.more-heads	Views Custom Heads.
headdb.more-heads.give	Gives Custom Heads to yourself.
headdb.more-heads.give.others	Gives Custom Heads to other players.
headdb.more-heads.admin	Creates, edits, publishes, and deletes Custom Heads.
headdb.more-categories	Views Custom Categories.
headdb.more-categories.admin	Creates, edits, publishes, and deletes Custom Categories.

Do not rename these permission nodes in a permissions plugin; the legacy identifiers remain the active compatibility contract.

Category permissions

headdb.category.*
headdb.category.<category-id>

Category permissions control visibility for remote and Custom Categories.

headdb.basic, headdb.admin, or headdb.category.* grants access to all categories. A category-specific node does not independently grant permission to open HeadDB, browse results, use commands, or take heads.

Example restricted setup:

headdb.open
headdb.browse
headdb.search
headdb.head.take
headdb.category.blocks
headdb.category.helmets
