Summary
Barotrauma has a built-in player status or 'rank' system that automatically distributes permissions to users. This can be especially useful for allowing certain players to sell items, manage the campaign map, and much more. While Server Admins have nearly all permissions by default, custom ranks can be set up to delegate other tasks without giving the user too much power. In addition, custom ranks can be used as incentives for good behavior and adjusted at any time.
