How to set permissions and ranks for my server

Hi!
I'm new to Bukkit, I've seen pros use it, and thought it was pretty cool. So i have started my own.
I need help setting ranks and permissions for my server. I do have the essentials plugin also i have : diguisecraft and ProtocolLib.

Ranks:

Owner & Admin: Full permission
Moderator: /gamemode, /tp, /weather, /fly, /kick
Member: /tp commands, /weather
Guest: /tp

Please respond soon !!! THNX

 

so you want someone to write your permissions? if you can't do your own work, don't start a server. A server is very time consuming. You get what you put into it.

 

The guy above has a HUGE point. Here is basics on permissions configuring.

1.) You need a permissions plugin. PermissionsEX is my favorite. You can also choose GroupManager or bPermissions.
(PermissionsEX) http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/permissionsex/

2.) Learn the syntax of each and how to configure the .yml files.

3) Get the permission nodes from your plugins. These can usually be found on the plugin's webpage on DevBukkit

Good Luck!

 

Thnx guys

 

1). Download permissionsex (My favorite permissions plugin)
2). When you download it, you should get 3 .jar files. Modifyworld, Chat Manager and Permissionsex. Put all of them in your plugins folder. Then start your server, and stop it. This will generate their respective folders.
3). Now, go into the config file in the Chat Manager folder, you should get something like this:

Code:

enable: false
message-format: <%prefix%player%suffix> %message
global-message-format: <%prefix%player%suffix> &e%message
ranged-mode: false
chat-range: 100.0

Replace false with true after "Enable:"
4). Save it. Now go into the permissionsex Folder, and open a file called "Permissions". Now paste this:

Code:

groups:
  Guest:
    default: true
    permissions:
    - modifyworld.*
    - essentials.build
    - essentials.tpa
    - essentials.tpaccept
    - essentials.tpdeny
    options:
      rank: '5'
      message-format: '&7[Guest] &f%player: %message'
  Member:
    default: false
    inheritance:
    - guest
    permissions:
    - essentials.weather
    - essentials.tp
    - essentials.tp.others
    options:
      rank: '4'
      message-format: '&2[Member] &f%player: %message'
  Moderator:
    default: false
    inheritance:
    - Member
    permissions:
    - essentials.kick
    - essentials.kick.exempt
    - essentials.fly
    - essentials.fly.others
    - essentials.gamemode
    - essentials.gamemode.others
    - essentials.tpaall
    - essentials.tphere
    - essentials.tpo
    - essentials.tpohere
    - essentials.tptoggle
    - essentials.tppos
    options:
      rank: '3'
      message-format: '&e[Moderator] &f%player: %message'
  Admin:
    default: false
    inheritance:
    - Moderator
    permissions:
    - '*'
    options:
      rank: '2'
      message-format: '&d[Admin] &f%player: %message'
  owner:
    default: false
    inheritance:
    - Admin
    permissions:
    - '*'
    options:
      rank: '1'
      message-format: '&6[Owner] &f%player: %mess

5). Save it and start the server. The last step, type in the console: pex user <playername> group set <rank you want to give the player>
The <> shows the information you need to put in there.

If the [Owner] or whatever rank someone has doesn't appear when they talk, make sure chat manager is enabled. Now you should have the permissions done. Now it should be set up, hope I helped
