DO NOT USE GLOBAL CONFIGS FOR NOW. THE GLOBAL CONFIG IS MEANT TO SUPPLEMENT WORLD-SPECIFIC CONFIGS, NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND. SEE https://github.com/TheYeti/Permissions/wiki/Global-vs-World .I WILL WRITE A PROPER TUTORIAL ON HOW TO USE THE GLOBAL CONFIGS SOON.

1. Open Help's JAR with 7zip.
2. Find MANIFEST.MF (it can be in the root folder or in the META-INF folder, or both).
3. Open the MANIFEST.MF file in a text editor
4. Look for a line that starts with "Class-Path:".
5. Delete "Permissions.jar" from that line.
6. Save the manifest.
7. 7zip will prompt you to save changes back into the archive. Accept.
8. Restart server.

Plugin Authors: How to hook into Permissions​

Due to @TheYeti being busy in RL for now, I have created a new thread for Permissions 3.x. TheYeti is still part of the Permissions team.​

Permissions... Reborn.

This is a continuation of the work that was originally done by Nijikokun. All original credit goes to them as without their work this plugin would not have been possible. This plugin does not provide any commands or additional functionality beyond what is described in this post. That means that you need another plugin to provide colored names, chat prefixes, and op commands such as /give and /time.​

The Permissions Team​

The team consists of myself @rcjrrjcr and @TheYeti currently with contributions from @Nijikokun as well on occasion. There are also several other members of the community who frequently assist with providing code changes, bug fixes, patches, support, feedback, and beta testing. Special thanks to @flames and the Dynmap & Wormhole X-Treme teams for the hosting of Permissions on their Jenkins server.​

What's new in 3.x?

Taken from the GitHub page:

1. In-game commands. For a long time, users have been pestering, nagging, demanding and/or screaming for an way to manage Permissions via commands. Now, in 3.0, in-game commands are available to manage permissions and groups.
2. SQL storage. This allows web interfaces to manage Permissions by updating the SQL database Permissions uses.
3. Promotion/demotion tracks. With a simple command, users can be promoted/demoted along a preconfigured track, allowing RP servers with ranks to promote the player along a class track and other possibilities.
4. Multigroup.
5. Weightage. Plugins are able to compare users via their weight, which is inherited from their groups. For example, SlapPlugin can check if Player A is higher-weighted than Player B when A tries to slap B (Not IRL, obviously).
6. Improved world mirroring. Config files are now split into a group file and a user file. Also, by editing storageconfig.yml, you can configure the mirroring of entire worlds, or just its users/groups. You also do not have to create files for worlds that mirror another world. Also, two different worlds can use different storage types, like YAML and SQL.
7. Global permissions. Instead of having to resort to cross-world group inheritance, now all worlds inherit groups and users from the global permissions file. Also, the inherited groups/users can be overridden via editing the specific world's file.

Upgrading from 2.x to 3.x

I have written a guide on GitHub. This demonstrates how to convert 2.x-style configs to 3.0. The YAML-to-SQL converter are still in testing, but it can be downloaded from here. It's written in Perl. @Zgred has created a web version of the script located here. @omgneeq is working on an Web UI for SQL databases (Sorry about the previous statement that he was making a converter.)​

For the admins

In case you missed the link above, the Setup Guide on GitHub will help you quite a bit

Samkio has updated his tutorial for P3:


First thing that you will need to do is download the plugin. Place it in your plugins/ folder and unzip it. This should create the folder Permissions and a Permissions.jar file in your plugins folder. Next, go into Permissions/ and create a folder named the same as your world. So if your world name from server.properties is Foo you will need to create the folder plugins/Permissions/Foo. You MUST rename it to whatever your world's name is or it will not work.

Note, if you have your server maps all saved into a single directory then the initial setup will be somewhat different. Say your maps are arranged in the main directory like so: bukkit/mapfolder/world1, bukkit/mapfolder/world2, etc. Then inside of the plugin/Permissions directory you will need to create a folder called mapfolder and inside of that put the directories containing users.yml and groups.yml in there.

Next, you will need to go in and add yourself to the users, just replace the user that is in there with your name. Make any other modifications that you need to. While making modifications make sure that you do NOT use tabs. These will break the YAML format and cause issues. Instead, each indent should be four spaces. If you want people who aren't in the Admin group to be able to reload the permissions plugin you need to give them 'permissions.reload' permissions within the config file.

Permissions gives server admins great control, mostly in-game reloading. More info about commands can be found here.

FAQ (open) FAQ (close)

[FAQ]

[Q] What is with the version numbers? I can't keep up, it seems like every time I look there is a new version!
[A] I use the GNU versioning system for my version numbers. So what this means is the version number should be read as Major.Minor.Revision. So for version 2.5.2 this would mean it is the 2nd Major version, the 5th Minor release in this version, and the 2nd revision. I tend to release bug fixes and anything that doesn't add functionality or will not break things as revisions. So generally you should be safe with just watching the major & minor numbers and only getting the revision if it fixes a bug specific to you. Technically 2.5.2 should have been released as 2.6 as it did add functionality, but this was below even a minor change so I released it as a revision.

[Q] I am getting an error that it can't pass BLOCK_PLACED or BLOCK _BREAK events to Permissions. Fix it!
[A] That's not a question. The reason why it can't place these is probably because the syntax of your Permissions file is all whacked out, or it is a different world and you don't have a config file for that world.

[Q] What am I suppose to name the config file?
[A] You need to name it the same as your world. So if you look in server.properties at "level-name" you will see a world name there. Rename your config file to the same thing as that. Make sure you keep the .yml extension at the end.

[Q] Permissions are broken. Why can no one use commands? Why am I not an admin?
[A] First off, make sure that your formatting is correct. Look at the format that the default config file uses. Yours should look like that. Do NOT use tabs. Use 4 spaces (IE. " " <-- Four of those things.). Also, whichever group you give the permission '*' to, do not have that group inherit permissions from anyone else. That is called overloading and it will break things. Also, this.


[Q] Which one am I suppose to download and unzip to install this?
[A] Download the main package, not the JAR only. Unzip the ZIP file. The JAR only downloads are simply there for people who are UPGRADING and do not need the default config file.

[Q] I have done all of this and this doesn't work! I'm going back to GroupManager!
[A] Well, there is probably the problem. Make sure that you delete EssentialsGroupManager.jar and EssentialsGroupBridge.jar as these don't play well with Permissions and will cause headache.

[Q] When are you going to add <blah> <feature/command> into this already? You suck! Do what I want NAU PL0X!
[A] Feature requests should be posted on the GitHub tracker. Stupid suggestions like adding teleportation functionality and other less ludicrous stuff will be rejected.

TheYeti:

Nijikokun - Without their original work this plugin would not be possible.​

All of the members of the community that regularly provide support in this thread for Permissions​

Rigby, Kainzo, DThielke, GoMySQL, sk89q, RightLegRed - For hanging out with me in IRC, tons of testing, and pushing me to improve on the code constantly and make changes to make this plugin constantly better and better, and in general being entertaining.​

Everyone else on here and in IRC who provides support, feedback, assistance, plugins that have continued to support and integrate this, and in general makes my life a bit easier, THANK YOU!​

rcjrrjcr:

I would like to thank Joy , jamesg and omgneeq for staying in #permissions for long periods of time to test out 3.0, and help me find many coding mistakes I made, patiently waiting for the next build while I fixed the bugs. I appreciate SvenBrnn 's and GoMySQL(Geoff Winans on this forum) 's help that allow me to design and code the SQL interface, and the HeroCraft coding team for providing support and some priceless IRC quotes (Dgco). Also, I would like to thank Lycano for helping me in many different aspects. Last but not least, I would like to thank Nijikokun and TheYeti for developing P2, which was one of my core plugins when I was still a 14-year-old server admin that didn't understand Java, and was the base for 3.0. Without these people, 3.0 would never be possible.​

If after reading through all of that you are still having issues do one of two things. If it is a provable bug, and you have things like screenshots or copies of startup, steps to reproduce, your craftbukkit build and the version this is running along with your config files then submit the bug on the issue tracker. If it is general help or support you are needing then post a reply to this thread and someone will try to help you.

Old thread: Permissions v2.7.4

 

I have a problem, after I install the plugin I cant place block in the game, they disappear instantly, same thing happens when I try to destroy blocks

 

You have to put you in one of the groups which actually can build things. per default i think, the Default Group can not build thing

 

I've got a bug when I start my server.

this is my plugins :

and this is the log:

Hi all

im really trying to figure this out my self..... but cant !

i have created a group calle BAD PLAYERS, and set build to false!

Works like its supposed.....players in that group (bad players) cant build anything !

But...they can use Worldedit, and with that tool...the can still destroy the whole world.....

How do i set up permissions for only admins group to be able to use World edit ?

And why can players in the group "bad players" even USE worldedit ? (permissions for that group is empty

Code:

groups:
    New Player:
        default: true
        info:
            prefix: '&2'
            suffix: '&f'
            build: true
        permissions:
            - foo.bar
    Moderator:
        default: false
        info:
            prefix: ''
            suffix: ''
            build: true
        inheritance:
            - Default
        permissions:
            - 'foo.*'
            - '-foo.test'
    Admins:
        default: false
        info:
            prefix: '&4'
            suffix: '&f'
            build: true
        permissions:
            - '*'
    BAD Player:
        default: false
        info:
            prefix: ''
            suffix: ''
            build: false
        permissions:

 

hey i need help in the ingame commands so answer plz soon!!
i wanna promote the players ingame e.g I wanna a new to be a builder
But when i use the promote command.."pr name promote group" it does not working..
it says the specificated user is not in a group

 

Can anybody enlighten with the usage of the new API commands, In particular I'd like to know how to change the group a user belongs to, and possibly the promotion/demotion. The reason I need to know is I'm currently writing a plugin to link phpBB's groups with permissions' groups.

Regards,
Sam

 

My commandz iz broke! First, I made all of the world users files say users: and nothing else and copying the primary world's list over to globalUsers.yml. Then things got fucked up --- nobody was in their groups. So i copied the content of globalUsers into all of the users.ymls and now nobody has any permissions.

 

Hello,
I can´t not understand why i can´t promote over more then one Group.
It say User/Group does not exist.

Groups.yml:

Promotion/demotion sucsessful.
But it Promotes only one group up!

Please help me!

 

I have a little problem with my permissions :/
When I type "/pl" ingame permissions shows up in red text (indicating that theres a problem with it)
And I cant type "/pr". Could anyone help me with my problem?

Permissions failed for some reason. If you post that error and perhaps your permissions files if needed, someone will be able to help.

1) You define the world ID values. I would make a list of all of your current worlds and assign a unique number to each and use that as your WorldID.
2) You can paste all of the statements into one file if you want or keep them all as individual files. That is all up to you.
3) You have to create the tables first using the structure in the wiki.

See the wiki FAQ. I updated it with everything that I usually post for build problems.

You are trying to run 2 permission plugins. I would pick one of them and stick with it. As for the Permissions error, it looks like you pasted your GroupManager config files in your plugins\permissions\<world> directory which is fine because it will try to convert it but there must be some blank lines in there. I would remove all blank line (- with nothing after it) and any nulls then try again if you want to use Permissions. If you still run into problems, post all of your permissions yml files in code blocks (button on the toolbar above where you type) or on pastebin.com.

Moderator is inheriting from Default but you don't have a Default group. Change it to New Player.

You need to set up tracks/default track for those commands to work. See the end of the Chat Commands topic on the wiki for information on how to set that up. As for the command you are using, I would remove the <group> from the end and just let it promote using the default track. If that doesn't help, then post your groups.yml with your current track/tracks setup.

Post all of your permissions files and someone should be able to take a look.

Adding Admin to the end of the promote command tells the plugin that you think the user is currently in the Admin group. I would remove it and you should see the command start to work. But it will only move one group. If you are trying to make them an Admin, you would be better off using "parents add" and "parents remove" or a different track which takes them directly to Admin.

we could be seeing interesting things for next recomended build for permissions. I hope this is the start of things for built in permissions and bukkit and the end of chaotic permission plugins

Build #999 (17-Jul-2011 16:25:27)

Build Artifacts

• craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

Changes

1. Implemented new permission system (commit: 73697a4d358e4cded46653423cf79610444dae20) (detail / githubweb)

Changes in dependency
Bukkit #769 → #770 (detail)

 

Did you delete part of your server.log? The only reason I ask is that you have a GroupManger warning but I don't see it starting up in your server.log and I'm not finding the broken plugin causing the IllegalAccessError.

As for your Permissions error, you have the IllegalAccessError that many people get. You can find some information about it in the OP and also in the wiki FAQ.

 

Thank you very much

 

I have 4 worlds, but I'm giving you the files for worlds "world" and "flat" (flatgrass map).
globalGroups.yml: http://pastie.org/2227624
globalUsers.yml: http://pastie.org/2227634
world/groups.yml: http://pastie.org/2227629
world/users.yml: http://pastie.org/2227631 (some of these "users" are FakeMessage ;D)
flat/groups.yml: http://pastie.org/2227638
flat/users/yml: http://pastie.org/2227642

I know it's a lot, but I'd be extremely grateful for this to work (I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow).

 

Nope I did not delete any part of the server log. Thanks for the fast reply though!

 

Very quickly looking thru things I see a couple problems but I wanted to ask a question first. It looks like almost all of your files are exactly the same and if this is true, you would be much better off using World Mirroring. It allows you to only have to maintain one file and it will be copied to all of the other worlds. If this is what you really want, then I would take a look at the topic Storageconfig.yml Options on the wiki in the World Mirroring section.

If not, here are the errors I saw. You need to move your tracks: to the end of the file. Right now, it is after your groups: and will break all groups that come after it. Also, it won't do you any good in the global file as you won't be promoting those people but instead the people in the local world files. If you really want to stick with the global files, I would take a look at the Global vs. World topic at example 2. Another problem is with your Regent group. Your inheritance and permissions nodes are currently in the info node and need to be move back out 4 spaces.

I'm not sure how a GroupManager warning would show up in your log then and you aren't running any of the plugins that would normally cause the IllegalAccessError so I can only suggest changing Permissions.jar to aPermissions.jar. That should remove the error.

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

 

Thanks for the help, but I use PermissionsPlus for my commands (no offence permissions purists), and it has a bug where it doesn't update all world user files when promoting/demoting. But with this world mirroring I don't think it matters. Anywho, my storageconfig is empty, should I be concerned?
Oh and btw, the reason all the files look similar is because I have copy/pasted from the primary world files.

 

I saw that solution on the wiki too and tested it and it seems to work!

 

When I do /pr : aattss, it says that it can't find me. Here is all my users yml

Code:

users:
    aattss:
        permissions: []
        groups:
        - Admins

I think it says

Code:

14:57:24 [INFO] /pr | Displays Permissions Info

I just noted that the | looks like a line. In command prompt, a capitalized backwards slash looks more like a colon. Also, since it's true that permissions does not seem to recognize my character, it seems that that command may be valid, not to mention when I type it in I get the following code

Code:

15:11:50 [INFO] [Permissions] No world specified. Defaulting to default world.
15:11:50 [INFO] [Permissions] User/Group does not exist.

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

 

Can anyone give me an example of groups and tracks?together...

 

If your storageconfig.yml is empty, it just defaults to YAML files so I wouldn't worry about that.

That isn't a valid command.

There are plenty already in the thread but here is a very simple one.

Code:

groups:
    Default:
        default: true
        info:
            prefix: ''
            suffix: ''

            suffix: ''
            build: true
        inheritance:
            - Default
        permissions:

            - 'econplugin.basic.*'
    Moderator:

        info:

            suffix: ''
            build: true
        inheritance:
            - Member
        permissions:
            - 'modplugin.ban'
            - 'modplugin.kick'
            - 'modplugin.unban'
    Admins:
        default: false
        info:
            prefix: '[Admin]'
            suffix: ''
            build: true
        inheritance:
        permissions:
            - '*'
track:
    - Default
    - Member
    - Moderator
    - Admins
tracks:
    Foo:
        - Default
        - Member
        - Moderator

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

 

Code:

>Permissions help
14:57:24 [INFO] [Permissions] No world specified. Defaulting to default world.
14:57:24 [INFO] /pr | Displays Permissions Info
14:57:24 [INFO] /pr -reload | Reloads the default world

14:57:24 [INFO] /pr (g:)<target> (w:<targetworld>) (action) (actionparams) | Dir
ects (action) on specified group/user.

It is a valid command. Above is what I got from typing in Permissions help.

 

I'm looking thru that and I just don't see where it says that "/pr : <user>" is a valid command but perhaps I'm reading it differently than you are.

Could anyone tell me what error i'm having and how to fix it? I can't seem to get the commands to work for the person the error is happening to. Thank you.

 

It looks like your spacing is messed up somewhere. Line 6 should start in column 5 and not 4 but it will be hard to tell without the actual files.

 

Alright, Here's the files

Code:

users:
    Deathsblood:
        groups:
        - Admins
        permissions:
    AlexMutie123:
        info:
            prefix: ''
        groups:
        - Member
        Permissions:
        - worldedit.*
        - commandbook.weather
        - commandbook.weather.thunder
    Demytix:
        groups:
        - Member
        Permissions:

    xroguesayian:

    Derpina:

That must be after fixing it since AlexMutie123 now starts in column 5. If that didn't fix everything, then post the new error.

 

Here is the both of them right now, and no that didn't fix it.

Code:

12:37:32 [SEVERE] while parsing a block mapping
 in "<reader>", line 1, column 1:
    users:
    ^
expected <block end>, but found BlockMappingStart
 in "<reader>", line 6, column 4:
       AlexMutie123:

That file doesn't match that error. I would look for another users.yml file that has line 6 starting in column 4. The file posted above has line 6 starting in column 5 which is correct.

 

I have been trying to get Permissions to work for hours with no luck. I have read all documentation in the FAQ on wiki and the OP and have tried all things suggested there with no luck. I am using Bukkit build 953 with MC 1.7.3.

I am migrating from Group Manager but that is not apparently my problem. EssentialGroupManager.jar and EssentialsGroupBridge.jar are both deleted and I see no trace of them. I have no Group Manager messages in log.

I reviewed the list of plugins known to cause IAE's. The only one I had was BigBrother. With BB disabled, the problem persists.

In game, when I type /pl Permissions appears but is Red indicating a problem. I have tried renaming it to zPermissions.jar as suggested, but this did not seem to help. When I did this, Permissions no longer appeared on the /pl list and several other plugins that require permissions were red instead.

My worlds are named world and world_nether. I have folders named each of these things within permissions folder, and in each is the groups.yml and users.yml. I have gone through them extensively and they seem to be formatted properly. See below.

The global users file has one entry listing myself as a member of the group admin with permission * (no inheritences.)

The groups.yml files in each world folder are identicle. Admins have * permission and do not inherit from anybody.The users.yml file in the world and world_nether folder lists only me, as admin, with * permission and no inheritence. There are no typos or syntax errors that I can find.

Here are my files:

Please note, I use rented hosting and my only access to my server/files is with McMyAdmin. I saw in the FAQ that there was some mention of it only using Global files. What does this mean? What do I have to do to make it work with MCMA?
