# World Permissions

Two separate questions decide what a player may do with a world, and they use different nodes.

* [**World Access**](/v4/permissions-and-access/restricting-worlds.md): who may enter and modify an existing world. Covers per-world permissions, the builder whitelist, and how a status with building disabled locks a world for everyone.
* [**World Creation Rules**](/v4/permissions-and-access/creating-worlds.md): who may make a new one, and how many. Covers per-category creation nodes, the public and private world limits, and restricting individual templates and generators.

{% hint style="info" %}
Access and creation are independent. A player may be allowed to create worlds in a category yet be unable to enter someone else's world in that same category, and the reverse is equally normal.
{% endhint %}

For the administrative nodes that override both, see [Admin & Bypass](/v4/permissions-and-access/bypass.md).
