Give an AdvancedBan helper access to history without ban powers

Applies to: AdvancedBan; match the linked maintainer documentation to your installed platform and release.
Documentation checked 9 November 2026.

A support helper may need to explain a moderation message without being allowed to punish players. Build the role from the specific history commands your installed AdvancedBan version exposes.

Follow the procedure

List the information helpers actually need, such as an account’s punishment reason and expiry. Exclude IP-based account discovery and administrative database operations unless they are separately required.
Find the exact read-command permissions in the Commands and Permissions reference. Keep a note of each node and whether it applies on the proxy or Bukkit server.
Assign those nodes to a test group in your permission manager. Remove operator status from the test helper and inspect inherited groups for accidental moderation privileges.
Query an approved disposable account’s history using the installed command syntax. Check whether the output includes hidden reasons or other information that should remain with senior staff.
Test denial of a punishment command without supplying a live target. Confirm the helper cannot remove records, reload the plugin or issue bans through an alternative alias.
Provide a support procedure that records the punishment identifier and passes appeals to authorized moderators. Keep screenshots of real player history out of public help channels.

Check the result

The helper should be able to retrieve the approved history and explain its status while failing administrative permission checks. Verify using the helper account itself. A console query or operator account cannot demonstrate that the restricted group is correctly configured.

If the result is wrong

If access fails, inspect the command’s documented node and execution platform before granting more permissions. If the role exposes too much, withdraw the new node and reassess the workflow. Do not solve a missing read permission by granting the plugin’s entire administrative permission tree.
