# Settlement Ranks

Settlement owners can use the `/settlement setrank` command to give other players permission to do specific things in their settlement by giving them one of the following settlement ranks:

### Visitors

Visitors are allowed to interact in unlocked settlement plots. Visitors are not allowed to interact in locked settlement plots. This is the default settlement rank for all players. Settlement owners can ban Visitors from their settlement using the `/s ban <name>` command which kicks players from the settlement and prevents them from teleporting back to the settlement in the future.

### Farmers

Farmers can plant and harvest crops in any plot claimed by the settlement unless the plot has also been claimed by a home, shop, or market. Farmers are also allowed to use composters in the settlement as well as interact in locked settlement plots.

### Ranchers

Ranchers can name, feed, lead, attack, and interact with animals (aka [mobs](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Mob)) in any plot claimed by the settlement unless the plot has also been claimed by a home, shop, or market. In addition to these permissions, Ranchers also inherit all permissions granted to Farmers.

### Builders

Builders can place blocks, break blocks, and access protected storage in any plot claimed by the settlement unless the plot has also been claimed by a home, shop, or market. In addition to these permissions, Builders also inherit all permissions granted to Ranchers.

### Managers

Managers can promote and demote players to any of the above ranks in the settlement. Managers can also ban and unban players from the settlement, lock and unlock settlement plots, and toggle flight for any Member in the settlement. Players can only be promoted to the Manager rank by the settlement owner. In addition to these permissions, Managers also inherit all permissions granted to Builders.
