# NxShards Permissions: Admin Access Node Reference

> Reference for the nxshards.admin permission node and the default-true player permissions that grant access to /shards, shop, top, and pay.

NxShards has a deliberately small permission surface: standard player commands are open to everyone, and a single admin node unlocks every management feature.

## Admin Permission

| Node             | Default | Grants                                                                                                               |
| ---------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `nxshards.admin` | `op`    | Full access to admin commands — create / delete zones, give / take Shards, grant the wand, and run `/shards reload`. |

Attach this node to your staff group in your permissions plugin (LuckPerms, GroupManager, etc.) to give moderators and admins zone-management abilities.

## Player Permissions

The player commands (`/shards`, `/shards shop`, `/shards top`, `/shards pay`) do not require any explicit permission — they are available to every player by default. Use your permissions plugin to deny these commands if you want to restrict them.

## Example LuckPerms Setup

Grant `nxshards.admin` to a staff group:

```text theme={null}
/lp group staff permission set nxshards.admin true
```

Deny `/shards pay` to default players (optional):

```text theme={null}
/lp group default permission set minecraft.command.shards.pay false
```

<Tip>
  If you want to lock specific commands like the shop behind a VIP rank, use your permissions plugin's command-level rules rather than NxShards itself — the plugin does not expose per-subcommand permission nodes.
