For example, Essentials allows players to use '/back' if they have the permission: 'essentials.back'

Curious what a permission node looks like? Generally plugins will follow the format: '.'.

If you wanted to you could restrict certain skills to certain players or only allow some people to access '/mctop'. These are done via permission nodes as well. By default all players are able to level up all skills and use '/mctop' to check the leaderboards. For instance, McMMO is a plugin that adds MMO skills to Minecraft.

Many plugins will give your players permissions by default so they can do a lot of things normal users should be able to do on most servers.Most plugins you install will have a list of permissions you can give players for controlling who can use the plugin's various features.If a player does not have the permission node to do so- they cannot use those features. They can also be used by a custom item plugin to determine who can break X custom block and who can use Y custom sword. Note that permissions are not solely for controlling access to commands.But only allowing staff to use /mute and /ban. For instance, allowing all players to use /sethome, /back, and /spawn.They control what features each player can use.Terminology Permission Nodes (AKA 'Permissions') 1.2 Groups (Often referred to as 'Ranks').
