What is the Permissions Plugin?
The Permissions Plugin is an essential tool designed by server admins for Ark Survival Ascended. It enables admins to set up and manage permission groups and ranks, link specific permissions to those ranks, and manage player access in-game.
This plugin is crucial for maintaining order and fairness within the game. It allows server admins to control who can do what, preventing misuse of certain powers and ensuring a balanced gaming environment.
