How to give OP or Operator status to a player on a Bedrock server

OP (Operator) is the highest permission level on a Minecraft Bedrock server. An OP player can run every command, change gamemode, teleport, and so on. Give OP only to people you fully trust on the server.

Allow Cheats must be ON

Make sure Allow Cheats is enabled in the Startup menu. If it is off, the player will not be able to use any commands after you grant OP, and the [/] slash indicator will not appear in chat. See How to enable cheats on a Bedrock server if you need to turn it on.

Steps

  1. Open https://panel.nexuscloud.id/.
  2. Click your server.
  3. Open the Console menu (it is the first item in the side menu; if you have scrolled down, scroll back up to find the Console link).
  4. The player you want to OP must be online on the server so the system detects the username when you type the command in the console.
  5. In the console, find the Execute Command field.
  6. Type op <playername> — for example op nexusid2.
  7. Press Enter or click Send.

Verify

In Minecraft Bedrock, join the server with the OP account and try a command in chat. If OP is active, your command will show the [/] slash icon next to it. If the [/] icon does not appear, Allow Cheats is still off — enable it and re-grant OP.

Tips

  • To remove OP later, use deop <playername> from the same Execute Command field.
  • The Bedrock OP list lives in permissions.json. Each entry has a permission field — operator is full admin, member is a regular player.
  • Unlike Java, the player does need to be online when you run op, because Bedrock identifies players by their current Xbox/Gamertag session.
