    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.)​


    Install (open)
    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]

    [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.

    You asked if you can have the default be to update the globalusers.yml with the "?,<user>". I said the dev was looking at that. You'll have to wait for him to come back to have this finished up.
    You have one or more tabs in your permissions yml files. YAML doesn't support tabs so they need to be replaced with 4 spaces each. The one in the error looks to be in your storageconfig.yml but there may be more in the other files too.
    If your intent is to have it copied to all the other worlds you have, then you would be much better off using world mirroring. Take a look at the storageconfig.yml options topic on the wiki if this is what you want. If not, take a look a the Globals vs. World topic on the wiki and understand that using the global files still requires you to fill in your world files with similar information.

    I'm getting the error Permissions could not be loaded or found when trying to use any command

    here is the GlobalUsers.yml and GlobalGroups.yml
    Code:
    ##
    # AntiBuild is included with this.  To disable a group from being able to build then
    # set the build: flag to false (build: false).  If you want a group to be able to build
    # then set it to true.
    ##
    # Groups can contain inheritance.
    #   To make a group inherit the permissions from another
    #   group simply place the groups name in the "inheritance:" like so:
    #
    #   Example:
    #       inheritance:
    #           - Default
    ##
    #   Globalized Permission settings:
    #
    #       If a permission contains periods (.) you can denote a globalized parameter:
    #
    #           - 'foo.*'
    #
    #       This will allow you to use all general commands.
    #
    ##
    #   Single Asterisk denotes all commands:
    #
    #       - '*'
    ##
    #   To exempt a node use the - prefix like so:
    #       - '-foo.bar'

    Unfortunantly, due to the flux in the bukkit community, permissions 3.1.6 is now the plugin of yesterday. :(

    @rcjrrjcr @TheYeti @Nijikokun @Jeyge

    Any word when/if permissions will be utilizing the new SuperPerms 'API'?

    I really doubt this will become the plugin of yesterday until the built in permissions has better wildcard support and more support from the plugin developers. As it is right now, there is only one that I know of that will only support the new system right now and unless more jump on the same bandwagon, this plugin can continue just like it is now.

    Use Notepad++ and do a search and replace on "\t" with 4 spaces.

    Yes, I'm not terribly happy with the current SuperPerms plugin PermissionsBukkit, and I do hope that the permissions team utilizes the new API so that the transition is seamless.

    The only plugin that I know that requires SuperPerms support is ScheduledAnnouncer

    I added some information in the FAQ on how to fix the tab problems.
    You don't have your track/tracks set up correctly. See the wiki FAQ for information on how to set them up.
    I'll be happy to support whatever decision they decide to make. I've converted my test server once to the new permissions system so I would understand it but I sure didn't like the new way of having to set up individual permissions for almost everything.

    My tutorial still works earlier in the thread as he fixed the ? groups and prefixes for essentials chat etc in the current version to my request on how they should work assigning them from globals if they use a ? instead of world files.

    And as such prefix's and group names come from globals now where before the groups were correct but names and prefix's were taken from the players current world file only.

    But in the latest version he broke all negating permissions again (3rd time that has been broken and in v2 it didn't even work on 'copies') which I have a github support ticket in (second time this has happened with permissions 3) and been awaiting a fix but as stated he has gone awol for a while.

    I do have a very complex 6 world setup which uses all forms of permissions inheritance and nodes for worlds from globals to subworlds where each world has a inheritance structure from that world and also the global files.

    Every update I try to set more of permissions up and have most of what I want setup but as I cant negate permissions (broken in latest version) it stops me from going further.

    I send a support ticket in on everything I find not only here but all plugins I use in hope I will one day get the multiworld server setup that we have been working on constantly for 3 months or so nearly every single day that we cannot deliver to our users yet.

    And yes it is beyond a joke waiting this long on fixes (~90% permissions) for a setup we have planned and been in development with and have lost some players already and had allot of 'your never going to get that setup done' because we cannot deliver what we want for the benefits of our users.

    We are at about 80% complete on the setup but these permissions stuffs is stopping us from being 90-99% complete on a setup we are happy to give users.

    Is there any way I can make a users name rainbow colored? One of my donators wants that as his "color"

    Well there's another problem, new users don't get created in globalUsers.yml, instead they are created in the users.yml.

    the PermissionsBukkit has a extra plugin on their page that cross's over all plugins that use the Permissions 3.x.x to the new Superperms or bukkit perms.

    It is nearly the same system. do not worry

    is there anyone that know if there is any plugin that like count down the time on permission or time it, so that you can set a group on like 30 days and after that 30 its demote the group to the group it was promoted from?

    Is there any way I can promote users in-game using globalGroups & globalUsers? I would also like Moderators to be able to promote players.

    So far, I've tried '/pr add <name> Admins' and it says that that user/group does not exist.
