    GroupManager - The Permissions 2.x plugin sucessor.
    Version: v1.0 alpha-5

    Yes, it has multiworld and multigroup users support now. When 1.0 final release, next step is database (SQLite/MySQL).

    ---

    If you use Essentials:
    - Don't use both EssentialsGroupManager.jar and GroupManager.jar! Just choose one, because they are the same!
    - Don't use both EssentialsGroupBridge.jar and FakePermissions.jar! Just choose one, because they are the same!


    ---

    As the growth of this plugin is getting faster and faster, I needed to put multiword support the soon as I could.
    Now it's here. And GroupManager is keeping all of it's good stuff! Did I say it is going to bring a lot more of new stuff too?

    Purpose of the plugin:
    The purpose has changed. Permissions got better. But it still not enough. Why I did, and keep doing this?
    I started it thinking that it would make me happy. Now it's because it will make YOU happy.

    Advantages against Permissions:
    • User multigroup support.
    • Full command list to change anything during game or thru the console.
    • Good API to change things. You to change a player group you can do getPlayer(name).setGroup(getGroup(name))
    • Exception nodes.
    • It separates groups files from users files.

    New Features:
    • User multigroup support(yay!)
    • Multiworld support(meh).
    • It has world permission mirroring(you can make a world nether having the same permissions of world2 instead of default world1).
    • It saves only the files that will have contents changed.
    • It separates groups files from users files.
    • It cleans old backup files older than 24h.

    Previous Features(included):
    • It has the same file format as Permissions, no need to get used with anything new.
    • It comes with a fake Permissions plugin, that attaches GroupManager to all your permissions dependent plugins. No need to make any changes, nor update other plugins. Just adjust your permissions files and GO!
    • Commands to change users permissions are REALLY on-the-fly(no touching files).
    • It saves the permissions data periodically.
    • It backups every file before overwrites.
    • Tons of commands for complete user/group/permission management during game/console.
    • It has a fantastic temporary permissions system, that let's you to make changes in users, with the possibility to go back at any time(and it never is saved on files).
    • Negative nodes(aka '-'): You can take off specific permissions from users that have a full set.
    • Exception node(aka '+'): Used when a user/group has a set of negative nodes, and you want to allow a specific one.

    User's subgroups: a brief explanation
    You can see on the file structure(down here on same post), that users have an optional node called subgroups. That node is a list, just like "permissions" node. There you can list a user subgroup, it can be as many as you want.
    What a user inherits from subgroups? Only permissions. It means nothing on a subgroup's info node(prefix, suffix, build and other variables) will be considered.
    The user will still be considered as a member of that group, but will only inherits it's permissions, like some commands, kits, etc.

    This reduces the needs of a nest of groups inheriting each other.
    You can have one user in Peasant group, which has only some basics, and them let him join in Miner as a subgroup, where he can get Miner kits, or other related to miner group.
    Later, when your town needs a railer, you can just add the group Railer to him as subgroup, and he will have both things at same time. When the job is done, you just remove the subgroup.
    This gets even more interesting when you have groups related to towns, factions, teams… etc.

    World mirroring: a brief explanation
    Let's say you have a config file like this:
    Code:
    settings:
      data:
        save:
          minutes: 10
      logging:
        level: INFO
      permission:
        world:
          mirror:
            world1:
              - world2
              - world3
            world4:
              - world5
    It means that all your permissions of world2, and world3 will be the same of world1. And it means all permissions of world5 will be the same of world4.
    It won't copy any file. In fact, it won't matter if there is files for world2… when the permissions get load, every request for world2 will be redirected for world3. Simple as that.

    If no mirroring is specified, any world not loaded will automatically mirror the default world of the server.

    File structure: a brief explanation
    The files read for GroupManager 1.0+ for data management are two files per world. The users file are users.yml. The groups file are groups.yml.
    The thing is that those files are located in:
    plugins/GroupManager/worlds/WORLDNAME

    So the file structure for the world called anjoCaidoWorld and netherWorld will be:
    plugins/GroupManager/worlds/anjoCaidoWorld/groups.yml
    plugins/GroupManager/worlds/anjoCaidoWorld/users.yml
    plugins/GroupManager/worlds/netherWorld/groups.yml
    plugins/GroupManager/worlds/netherWorld/users.yml

    The files might look like this:
    groups.yml
    Code:
    groups:
        Admins:
            default: false
            info:

            subgroups:
              - Miner
              - Railer
    You can see that the node structure are exactly the same used for GroupManager 0.99d(-) and Permissions, it means you can use the same files here.
    Note: Every node that doesn't make part of the respective file is ignored. So if you are migrating from older GroupManager or Permissions you can just duplicate your files as groups.yml and users.yml. When comes the time where is needed to save the file, all unused data for each file will be discarded. So you don't need to split files, just duplicate them with correct names, it will work.

    Negative and Exception nodes: a brief explanation
    Let's say you have a group SemiAdmin like this.
    Code:
    groups:
      SemiAdmin:
        default: false
        permissions: [+groupmanager.manpromote, -groupmanager.*,
          '*']
        inheritance: [Moderator]
        info: {prefix: '', build: false, suffix: ''}
    You should read this way:
    '*' -> means this group will have access to all commands.
    '-groupmanager.*' -> Where all his commands of groupmanager where removed.
    '+groupmanager.manpromote' -> Except manpromote.

    It means he can do everything that is not of GroupManager, AND manpromote.

    It's like listing essentials.*, worldedit.*, worldprotect.*, everyotherthing.* and groupmanager.manpromote.

    It gives a very big flexibility on permissions.

    Note:
    For every level of inheritance,
    Every permission starting with '+' is tested first. Then comes permissions starting with '-'. Then comes normal permissions(including '*').

    Commands:
    • Now on multiword support, every command will act only on the selected world.
    • If none/invalid world is selected, it will run on the default world.
    • If the world selected is a mirrored world, it will work on the mirror world.
    (on next version, when a command involves a player, there will be a toggle that will automatically act on the victim(player) world is in)

    All commands that changes permissions only allow you to change users below in a inheritance level(eg. Admins can't mod other Admins, but can modify Moderators).
    Except for Console, he can modify anyone.

    So, what happens with all of these plugins that already use Permissions?
    They will still work. I made a fake Permissions plugin, that will replace your old Permissions plugin. And the new fake one will attach directly on GroupManager system. So all plugins will think they are working with Permissions, but they will work with GroupManager.
    The most incredible thing is that all those plugins will receive the benefit of instant changes.

    I'm a server Administrator, what should I do to use it?
    If you already have Permissions, do this:
    1. Remove Permissions.jar from you plugins folder. (leave the Permissions folder there, if it is named diferently than this, the automatic import will not work)
    2. Paste GroupManager.jar with FakePermissions.jar on your plugins folder.
    3. Run.
    4. With all file structure done, you create your worlds folder and copy your files there.

    All your old plugins will still work like a charm.

    I'm a plugin developer, how should I use this plugin?
    You can read the java-doc, linked below. It's not complete yet, but it has the essential.
    Here is some code examples...

    Loading in your plugin:
    Code:
    import org.anjocaido.groupmanager.GroupManager;
    import org.anjocaido.groupmanager.dataholder.worlds.WorldsHolder;
    import org.anjocaido.groupmanager.dataholder.WorldDataHolder;
    public void onEnable() {
            Plugin p = this.getServer().getPluginManager().getPlugin("GroupManager");
            if (p != null) {
                if (!this.getServer().getPluginManager().isPluginEnabled(p)) {
                    this.getServer().getPluginManager().enablePlugin(p);
                }
                GroupManager gm = (GroupManager) p;
                WorldsHolder wd = gm.getWorldsHolder();
            } else {
                this.getPluginLoader().disablePlugin(this);
            }
        }
    WorldsHolder contains everything you need. You can easily do anything with it.

    Here is a example of a plugin that in a special circumstance, needed to put the player in a special group, with no permissions at all.
    Code:
    public void markAsNotLoggedIn(Player player) {
                OverloadedWorldHolder perm = gm.getWorldsHolder().getWorldData(player);
                Group lockDown = perm.getGroup("NotLoggedIn");
                if(lockDown == null){
                    lockDown = perm.createGroup("NotLoggedIn");
                }
                perm.overloadUser(player.getName());
                perm.getUser(player.getName()).setGroup(lockDown);
        }
    From now on the user is in this special group. And every change on him is temporary. Until the code below is executed.
    Code:
    public void restorePermissions(Player player){
                OverloadedWorldHolder perm = gm.getWorldsHolder().getWorldData(player);
                perm.removeOverload(player.getName());
        }
    And, finally, how to check a user permission:
    Code:
    public boolean canChangeGroup(Player player){
                return gm.getWorldsHolder().getWorldPermissions(player).has(player,"groupmanager.mangroup");
        }
    F.A.Q.
    Q: It is compatible with permissions... but where it get it's data from?
    - A: It gets from users.yml and groups.yml in the world folder, located properly inside GroupManager worlds folder.
    Q: Can I use commands from other plugins to change permissions?
    - A: No. I made the decision to store data in GroupManager folder because I don't think it is right my plugin mess around with other ones files. Unfortunately, other plugins of group modification tries to access other files than mine.

    • Renamed some commands in the same format Wulfspider sugested.
    • FakePermissions.jar updated to take care oc Misc field, which some Permissions plugins need.
    Version 0.7:
    • Added commands /manpromote and /mandemote

    Yeah, that's pretty much it.
    Just like big'ol Permissions.


    But the idea is great...
    you might want moderators to have all spells except lavaspam.... so u do
    Spells.*
    Spells.lavaspam@

    Or something like that.

    Where in that post did i say that you cant use the * I never did FFS You ppl cant read I said that i cant use it the way that i like to AND NO Not every admin Group Uses '*' Mine sure as hell don't cause of plugins like this that have so many commands that i simply would never use.

    what i was trying to say is that all the nodes for the commands for this plugin need to be nested deeper and not just all under the plugin name so that i COULD USE 'pluginname.group.*'

    So Please read what i said again i never said you cant use the * I implied that the plugin made it hard that is all.

    And to the guy that said don't like it don't use it i already said i was not going to use it but apparently no1 can read that either.

    @Nijikokun You lost your chance. GroupManager is already in Essentials: it has the publicity that it needs to replace Permissions. You were unwilling to release Permisisons under and open source license, and your support for your plugins is lacking. I suggest you lose your bullying attitude, because you are in no position to behave as arrogantly as you do.

    @AnjoCaido I'd love to talk to you on IRC if you happen to stop by.

    I support this plugin - though it stripped out all my nice comments and collapsed all group perms down to a single line.

    I must say while I have a lot of respect for Nijikokuns work I am seeking replacements for all of it since he holds back releases and updates to the community for reasons which don't seem fully explained.

    People are fighting for position of who runs the better user rights plug-in @PandaVidya. Quite frankly it's a little silly.

    As of right now Permissions has the most compatibility, and if you don't read the forum that's pretty much all you need to know. If you do, it apparently leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

    Edit: That said, once this plug-in is updated it basically does the same thing, even allowing compatibility with plug-ins that use Permissions exclusively. Everything's good that way.

    Gotta remember dude, Not all of us read everything new one here :p
    Just us special few :)

    User preference between the two. I prefer Permissions (Please don't flame my post for this) & I am sure there are many others that prefer GroupManager. Just grab one & try it out.

    I've tried both, they essentially do the same thing for me on the server.
    There's some small differences, but to me running a private server with <10 people, it doesn't really make much of a difference. I don't understand the fighting, nor do I much care - both are great plugins - This community has always been great, I don't see why there is anyway.

    This utilizes the same system as Permissions, creating a fake "Permissions" then applying it different, giving you GroupManager. It's Permissions with loads more functionality.

    Wow I feel so stupid right now. I've been trying forever to get this working, and then I saw that this isn't yet supported for builds greater than 405. When it is updated, I would like to start using it, and seeing if it works. The easiest way to do that is to make sure my current configuration file will work. If I missed anything, please let me know.

    Okay, thanks. I am not too worried about the release timeframe of the next build. Our server is still in the setup and testing phase, so no outside players are in it yet. We are using the older permissions, so everybody has every command for now. Using Permissions 2.1 just removes permissions for all plugins from nearly everybody (except ops, I think). The main reason for the post you quoted was to ask if my syntax was all correct, so could you please examine it closely and let me know? Thanks and good luck with your plugin. It seems like you put a whole lot of work into it.

    My permissions seem to work with b424...just saying. At least better than on b420.

    So here is a problem, I update to 423 today, and realized that Permissions has turned ALL players into Admins. I double checked my file, and it is configured correctly. In that thread, it is a known bug, so I figured I'd try GroupManager, and I'm still getting the same problem. Is this a known bug here too?

    It's not GroupManager. It's your CB #423, which think everyone is OP.


    This version is fully working with #424.


    ---
    NOTE:Latest Dev builds of Essentials are somehow caching the permissions. So if you change groups during game, it doesn't work for Essential's commands.
    Remember, GroupManager is 100% working. Tested all commands and they are very well affected by group/permission changes.

    Version 0.9c is out.

    Fixed multiple inheritance.
    Now there is a command to toggle auto-save.

    So it's possible to go and edit the file manually without risk of losing data, while you come back to game, to use /manload

    0.9d released.

    Found out that the problem with Essentials wasn't Essentials. But FakePermissions was acting unexpected on this new CB(I think plugin verification on the pluginLoader is damaged)

    Should work fine with latest Essentials now.


    ---
    Oh, and forgot to say...
    Now that plugin verification is damaged. There was no reason to keep the verification I had on Constructor(I used to make sure GroupManager would run before the other plugins that call it wrong way). Thinking of that, FakePermissions finally took of the Long Contructor.
    But some plugins that doesn't do right might fail, again.

    This looks really interesting. I have a question:

    I am assigning people to groups if they fill in a questionnaire. With the permissions plugin, I edited the permissions config file and gave people the right to reload the permissions manually in game to activate the changes.

    How would something like this work with your plugin?

    thanks!
