Negative Permissions on permissionsex

Hellllllllo.

although I pretty much no my way around permissionsex when setting up a factions server this afternoon i ran into some issues when trying to negate perms.

you see, I don't want non-admins to be able to create factions.
I thought there would be some way of stopping them in the config file, but no.

A quick google search returned this:

Q. I don’t want all players to have the permissions which are currently granted by default. How can I change that?
A.See our permissions further down the current page. Factions grants thefactions.kit.fullplayer permission kit by default. You will likely need to deny the individual permissions already granted which you don’t want those players to have. Your permission plugin of choice should provide a method to deny permissions, such as adding a “-” to the start of the permission (like “-factions.create”). Most permission plugins at this time don’t seem to allow denying parent->child / kit permissions (some don’t even allow granting them), so you may need to handle them individually.

and so I set about denying users factions.kit.fullplayer and granting them factions.kit.halfplayer like this

(it removed all the extra spaces, but their there)

Member:
default: true
permissions:
[snip]
- -factions.kit.fullplayer
- factions.kit.halfplayer

but people still can. so im kinda at a loss.


this is the full permissions file

You dont need to subtract any permissions at all if its the default group. Permissions starts out on a clean slate, so default = Nothing.

 

Thank you so bloody much. But I can't believe that I didn't realise that was the problem, now i feel like a n00b.

 

he already gave '*' at that point

 

if you are going to subtract a node, doesnt it NEED to come before the node that gives it that power, such as the master node?

 

Yeah i think so... Somehow they describe it at the pex wiki

 

What if you put a ^before the permmision whats that do?

 

That's for bpermissions only
