Steward Hierarchy and Teleportation
Hierarchy policy
Steward uses LuckPerms primary-group weights for target-affecting staff actions. The acting staff member must have a strictly greater weight than the target. Equal weights are denied.
Every action family selects its own bypass permission:
| Action family | Bypass permission |
|---|---|
| Freeze and freeze relocation | steward.freeze.bypass-hierarchy |
| Warning issue, revoke, and escalate | steward.warning.bypass-hierarchy |
| Punishment issue and revoke | steward.punishment.bypass-hierarchy |
| Bring Player Here | steward.teleport.bypass-hierarchy |
| Inventory inspection | steward.inspection.bypass-hierarchy |
A bypass skips only rank comparison. It never permits a staff member to target themselves. Actions fail closed when Steward cannot resolve the required LuckPerms users or primary groups.
Recommended owner-only grants:
/lp group owner permission set steward.freeze.bypass-hierarchy true
/lp group owner permission set steward.warning.bypass-hierarchy true
/lp group owner permission set steward.punishment.bypass-hierarchy true
/lp group owner permission set steward.teleport.bypass-hierarchy true
/lp group owner permission set steward.inspection.bypass-hierarchy true
Do not grant one family bypass as a substitute for another. For example, a freeze bypass does not authorize Bring Player Here.
Teleport permissions
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
steward.teleport.use | Teleport the acting staff member to a selected online player. |
steward.teleport.others | Bring a selected online player to the acting staff member. |
steward.teleport.bypass-hierarchy | Bypass rank comparison for Bring Player Here. |
Teleport To does not compare target hierarchy because it moves only the actor. It still rejects selecting oneself.
Bring Player Here moves the target and therefore enforces hierarchy at the execution boundary. It supports cross-dimension movement. If the target is frozen, Steward uses the freeze relocation service so the new position is audited and freeze enforcement remains active.
