Permission nodes
Overview
SimpleClaimSystem ships six families of Bukkit permission nodes. They are independent from the in-claim role permissions: those (PLACE_BLOCK, INTERACT_CHEST, etc.) are configured per claim and per role through the in-game GUI; these nodes are configured server-wide through your permissions plugin (LuckPerms recommended) and decide what a player is allowed to do before the claim system even gets consulted.
| Family | What it gates | Wildcard |
|---|---|---|
scs.claim.<sub> | Each /claim subcommand (radius, list, invite, fly, ...). | scs.claim.* |
scs.admin.<sub> | Each /scs admin subcommand (reload, player, importFromV1, ...). | scs.admin.* |
scs.permission.<key> | Whether a player may toggle a specific role permission in the claim GUI (PLACE_BLOCK, INTERACT_CHEST, ...). Lowercase key. | scs.permission.* |
scs.flag.<key> | Whether a player may toggle a specific flag in the claim GUI (creeper_explosions, fire_spread, ...). Lowercase key. | scs.flag.* |
scs.bypass.<key> | Skip the matching per-claim role check at runtime (enter, teleport, place_block, ban, ...). Lowercase key. Holders are treated as if the role allows the action everywhere. | scs.bypass.* |
scs.limit.<type>.<amount> | Per-rank limits (claims, chunks, radius, members, cost, ...). See the Limits page. | scs.limit.<type>.* = unlimited (2.6.6); otherwise highest match wins |
Critical for fresh installs: scs.permission.* and scs.flag.* are not declared with default: true in plugin.yml. On a server that doesn't grant them explicitly, regular players will see toggles in the GUI but won't be able to flip them. Grant scs.permission.* and scs.flag.* to your default rank so claim owners can configure their own claims. See the LuckPerms tutorial below.
OPs and anyone with scs.admin.* bypass every check (toggle gates and runtime gates). scs.bypass.* is the surgical equivalent for runtime checks only: it lets a holder ignore the per-claim role permissions without granting access to admin tooling.
scs.permission.* (toggle gating for role permissions)
Every in-claim role permission has a matching Bukkit node scs.permission.<key> (lowercase). When a player opens /claim permissions, each toggle is hidden / non-clickable unless the player has the corresponding node, the wildcard scs.permission.*, scs.admin.*, or is OP.
Use this when you want to expose only a subset of toggles to regular players (e.g. let visitors-by-default never be flipped to allow building) while still allowing staff to override anything.

2.5.0 change: the single TELEPORT permission was split into NATURAL_TELEPORT (ender pearl, chorus fruit, nether/end portals, end gateway) and OTHER_TELEPORT (plugin/command teleports — /tp, /warp, /home, etc.). Existing claims auto-migrate: the old TELEPORT value is copied to both new keys, then the legacy key is stripped. The bypass nodes scs.bypass.teleport (legacy alias kept for back-compat) and the new scs.bypass.natural_teleport / scs.bypass.other_teleport follow the same split.
The full list is generated from the menu_permissions_*.yml files in the guis/ folder. Adding a new toggle there with a permission: "scs.permission.my_key" entry plugs it into the same gating system at runtime, no Java change required.
scs.flag.* (toggle gating for flags)
Same model as scs.permission.* but for the world / environment flags. The Bukkit node is scs.flag.<key> in lowercase. Without the matching node (or scs.flag.* / scs.admin.* / OP), the flag is non-clickable in /claim flags.
