Allow one player role through a Multiverse portal without opening every portal

Applies to: Multiverse-Portals; match the linked maintainer documentation to your installed platform and release.
Documentation checked .

A portal access node can be narrower than world access or a teleport command. Use that distinction to give event participants one route while keeping staff portals private. Test the rule with an ordinary role and a separate denied account.

Work through the change

  1. Record the exact portal name and destination from portal information. Check whether portal access enforcement remains enabled and whether the destination world has its own access requirement.
  2. Find the documented multiverse.portal.access permission for that named portal. Grant the specific portal capability to a temporary test role without a wildcard or operator status.
  3. Walk through the portal as the role and as the denied account. Capture both results, then try a different restricted portal from the same source world.
  4. If arrival still fails, check destination-world access and safety separately. Keep the successful portal permission unchanged while tracing the next denial so one working layer remains clear.

Check the result

The selected role should use the approved portal and remain denied at the unrelated restricted portal. A successful teleport by an administrator is not the acceptance test. Check inherited groups and temporary permissions if the denied account unexpectedly passes.

Test direct portal use rather than a staff teleport command that skips the portal check. Keep the source world entry permissions and destination access in the notes. A visitor may pass one layer and still be correctly denied by another, so record the actual denial message.

Recover or stop safely

Remove the trial grant if it opens more access than intended and restore the earlier role policy. Leave access enforcement enabled while you investigate the exact permission. A temporary event route should not require publishing unrestricted staff teleport commands to all players.
