    I can help, but what do you need help with exactly? I've got a feeling from what your saying though, that you haven't set up your config file for your permissions plugin right (i.e You've got some tabs in there)

    So, for us to help you - it would be good if you did the following,
    1. Tell us what permission plugin your running.
    2. Post your permission config file.
    3. If there are any errors in your console relating to permissions, post them here as well.

    I totally deleted the permissions i was using because i was pissed at it. But notepad ++ kept erroring and turning red when i edited configs, and then it didnt work when i loaded up! Plus iChat didnt show the prefixes. I need to build permissions from the ground up basically. Ill use whatever plugin you reccomend.

    There are 3 permissions plugins to choose from.
    bPermissions, PermissionsEX and PermissionsBukkit

    You'll also need a chat plugin (instead of iChat, it is unsupported), I recommend mChat or HeroChat


    other: If you have trouble setting up permissions, bPermissions has a WebGUI, bPermissionsWebGUI that is very helpful.

    So, the number one rule when editing a YAML config file, is not to touch the tab key. The text is showing up red in NotePad++ as you've haven't formatted your YAML properly - in most cases the file has tabs in it. If it is red in NotePad++, when you load it up it will not work. But, since you've got Notepad++ you can replace tabs with 4 spaces, to do this - in Notepad++ go to Settings-> Preferences->Language Menu/Tab -> Settings->Replace by Space. This should magically fix all your problems :)
    Now, I recommend PermissionEX as instead of editing the config file all the time, you can use commands which will stop you from getting errors in your file. It is easier to edit the file by hand when adding a lot of permission though.

    If you need anymore help, just ask.

    Ok i got bPermission and the web gui, but im still confused. IS there anyone who can help me set it up via the web gui?

    Shad, do you think you can send me an example config and user file? bPermission is really buggy.

    You can just type in game, "/permissions helpme" command as an op. It will auto-detect your installed plugins and ops from ops.txt and setup groups for you

    You need bPermissions installed to do this.

    Also, the WebGUI allows you to easily manage through groups.

    If you need a permission file set up for another permission plugin - I'd be happy to help, just send me a PM.
