Many uMod/Oxide plugins require permissions before players or admins can use their commands. Permissions are plugin-specific, so copy the permission names exactly from the plugin page.
- Install uMod and the plugin first.
- Open your Rust server in the control panel.
- Open Web Console.
- Check the plugin page for the exact permission names.
- Run the relevant permission command.
| Action | Command |
|---|---|
| Grant a permission to one player | oxide.grant user STEAMID64 permission.name |
| Grant a permission to a group | oxide.grant group admin permission.name |
| Remove a permission | oxide.revoke user STEAMID64 permission.name |
| List a user's permissions | oxide.show user STEAMID64 |
Replace STEAMID64 with the player's SteamID64 and replace permission.name with the exact plugin permission. For installing plugins, use How to install uMod plugins on a Rust Server.
Check the result
After running a command or changing permissions, test with a normal player account where possible. This confirms the change works without relying on owner or admin permissions that may hide a configuration problem.
Troubleshooting
If the command fails, check the spelling, spacing, and capitalisation against the game version you are running. Then review the console output for the exact error before repeating the command.
