REALLY NEED HELP WITH ESSENTIALS and GROUP MANAGER

Okay so Im going to straight forward tell you the problem XD. I just want all the default players that join the game, to automatically have spawning rights, like /give, /i, etc. I use group manager for the ranking and Essentials for various reasons. There is probably something wrong in my config file, I just don't know what.

Here is my groups.yml file from GroupManager for my server

Code:

groups:
  SemiAdmin:
    default: false
    permissions:
    - +groupmanager.mandemote

If you need any more information to be able to solve my problem, I would be GLAD to post it! Or if you just find anything wrong in one of the files.

 

groups.yml is messed up...uhm...how do i put this
you need to put a qoute like character on every permissions (' ') like this '<permission>'
and the permissions you put is not right...check the plugins wiki or their thread...the permissions u need are in there

 

1) DON'T USE CAPS LOCK IN THE TITLE!
2) You're not using proper permissions.
instead of

Code:

- back

it should be

Code:

- essentials.back

3) Semi-Admin has the * permission meaning they have every permission, why are you assigning more?

 

Ok so I put essentials. in front of all the commands, but a basic user that joins, still cannot spawn items? Suggestions? Thanks

 

xD...as i said earlier...dont just put random stuff in permissions...you have to check if its the right permission you are putting there...lookie here
http://ess.khhq.net/wiki/Command_Reference
check each permissions

 

Ok so I looked on the link you gave me and the second one down on the list is "give" so in the permissions config file...I made sure I had - essentials.give as one of the commands, but the player that joins cannot use this command, this is what I want to do, is allow players that join to automatically have the "give" command. Thanks too!

 

hmmm...put this exactly

- 'essentials.give.*'

if that does not work...reinstall essentials

 

Ok I believe your right when it comes to the command - 'essentials.give.*' however, It still does not work, and I think it has something to do with my Essentials config file. Because I even promoted the player to "Civilian" which is the default rank, and they can still not use the /give command.....

Im also using "CommandBook" IDK if this has anything to do with it XD

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

sorry...dosed off yesterday...hmmm...yeah, i think commandbook has a command "give" too right?
try removing commandbook...or essentials...
and remake your permissions
