Give a staff member a limited Plan web group

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

Plan's website has its own permission groups. A staff member who can view session summaries does not automatically need player-address information or full web administration. Configure the intended web access instead of granting a broad Minecraft permission wildcard.

Record the starting point

Read the web-permissions documentation for your installed Plan release. Decide exactly which pages the role should see and whether they contain player-identifying data. Ensure the web interface uses the documented HTTPS arrangement before enabling authenticated access.

Work through the change

  1. Use Plan's documented web permission editor to inspect or create the intended group. Select permissions that match the staff task rather than copying the administrator group wholesale.
  2. Follow the release's registration instructions and documented group assignment mechanism. Plan documents the plan.webgroup.{name} permission for registration-related group selection; confirm how it applies to an existing account before expecting a retroactive change.
  3. Sign in with a dedicated test web account and open an allowed page. Then attempt one page or action the role should not access.
  4. Remove any temporary broad permission used during testing and repeat the login. Keep a record of the final role and the person responsible for reviewing it.

Check the result

The account should see the intended analytics and be denied unrelated administration or private information. Test the actual web session, not only the player's Minecraft group. A menu link being hidden is insufficient if a direct URL remains accessible.

If the result differs

If access differs, compare registration-time group assignment, current web-account membership and the generated permission configuration. Do not disable web authentication to work around a group mistake. Check the installed release documentation before editing account records directly.

Restore the previous group permissions and revoke the trial account if the boundary is unclear. Keep the analytics database intact. Role testing does not require deleting player sessions or exposing the web port publicly without its existing access controls.
