AetherPermissions Web Editor

Web Editor

Edit groups, players, ranks and permission nodes in your browser with drag & drop. Changes are applied to your server instantly.

Opening the editor

1. Run /ap editor (requires aether.admin).
2. Click "Click here to open the Web Editor" in chat. From the console, the link is printed as plain text.
3. Start editing. The ● Live Sync Active badge in the top bar shows you are connected.

What you can do

• Groups (left panel): create groups, change weight, prefix/suffix and inheritance, see members, or delete a group.
• Players (right panel): search online and offline players, click one to edit their ranks, prefix and personal nodes.
• Drag & drop: drag a player onto a group to give them that rank. Hold Shift while dropping to make it their only rank.
• Permission nodes: add nodes with autocomplete from all your plugins, toggle true/false, set a world or a duration (1d, 2h30m), or filter per plugin and search.
• Chat preview: see what a prefix/suffix looks like before saving.
• Live activity: a feed of every change, including changes made in-game or by other admins.

Several admins can work in the editor at the same time. Everyone sees each other's changes live.

Security & privacy

• The link contains a secret key after the #. Browsers never send that part to any server.
• Everything between your server and your browser is end-to-end encrypted (AES-256-GCM). The relay at editor.aetherdevstudio.com only passes encrypted data along and cannot read or change your permissions.
• Do not share the link. Anyone with it has full permission access to your server for as long as the session is active.
• A session closes after 60 minutes of inactivity (web-editor.session-expiry-minutes), when the server restarts, or when you click Log out. At most 5 sessions can be open per server; the oldest closes when you open a sixth.

Network requirements

Your Minecraft server needs to reach editor.aetherdevstudio.com on port 443 (outgoing HTTPS/WebSocket). This works on virtually every host. You do not need to open any port, set up a domain or run a proxy.

Self-hosted mode (advanced)

If your server has no internet access, or you want to host the editor yourself, switch to the built-in web server:

web-editor:
  mode: SELF_HOSTED
  self-hosted:
    bind-address: "0.0.0.0"
    port: 8095
    public-url: "http://YOUR-SERVER-IP:8095/?token={token}"
    token-expiry-minutes: 10

• The port must be open in your firewall / host panel (on shared Minecraft hosts: add an extra port allocation and use that).
• This mode uses plain HTTP. For HTTPS, put a reverse proxy (Nginx, Caddy) or a Cloudflare Tunnel in front, set bind-address: "127.0.0.1" and change public-url to your HTTPS address.
• Links are single-use. Run /ap editor again for a new one.
• Apply changes with /ap reload.
