Add an Admin (OP) to Your Minecraft Bedrock Server

To make yourself or another player an admin (OP) on a Bedrock server, you need that player's XUID (Xbox Live ID).

1. Find the player's XUID

1. Sign up at xboxapi.com/register and choose the free plan.
2. Confirm your registration, then click Sign in to Xbox Live.
3. Go to https://xapi.us/v2/xuid/GAMER_TAG, replacing GAMER_TAG with the player's gamertag.

The player's XUID is displayed — copy it.

2. Edit permissions.json

In your Game Control Panel, open Configuration Files and edit permissions.json. It looks like this:

[
  { "permission": "operator", "xuid": "451298348" },
  { "permission": "member",   "xuid": "52819329" },
  { "permission": "visitor",  "xuid": "234114123" }
]

To add an operator, add a new entry with the XUID you copied:

[
  { "permission": "operator", "xuid": "YOUR-XUID-HERE" },
  { "permission": "operator", "xuid": "451298348" },
  { "permission": "member",   "xuid": "52819329" }
]

Save the file and restart the server.
