Permissions not working

I made myself moderator to test my new permissions with the following code:
groups:
Default:
default: true
prefix: '[Guest]'
suffix: ''
permissions: null
Vip:
prefix: '[Vip]'
suffix: ''
permissions: null
inheritance:
- Default
Moderator:
prefix: '[Mod]'
suffix: ''
permissions: [bukkit.command.kick, bukkit.command.ban.*, bukkit.command.unban.*, bukkit.command.weather, bukkit.command.say]
inheritance:
- Trusted
Admin:
prefix: '[Admin]'
suffix: ''
permissions:
- '*'
inheritance:
- Moderator
users:
Skittle013:
group:
-Moderator

(this is the end of the code)


When I tried to do one of the commands I allowed mods to do it says "Im sorry, you do not have permission to perform this command. Please contact the server administrators if you believe this is an error. Problem is I am the server administrator....
I am kind of a noob at coding and I was wondering if I messed it up by any change? I use PermissionsEX plugin if that helps at all.

 

I see a couple things wrong. The first being that your Moderator group inherits from a group called Trusted but you don't have a Trusted group. I'm guessing you meant to put Vip in there. And second is that you aren't actually part of the Moderator group. You need to add a space after the - in your group. It should look like:

Code:

users:
    Skittle013:
        group:
        - Moderator

 

Ok now It shows me the prefix, but the permissions don't work, are these in the proper format?

Code:

groups:
    Default:
        default: true
        prefix: '[Guest]'
        suffix: ''
        permissions: null
    Vip:
        prefix: '[Vip]'
        suffix: ''
        permissions: null
        inheritance:
        - Default
    Moderator:
        prefix: '[Mod]'
        suffix: ''
        permissions:
        - 'bukkit.command.kick'
        - 'bukkit.command.ban'
        - 'bukkit.command.ban.ip'
        - 'bukkit.command.ban.player'
        - 'bukkit.command.unban'
        - 'bukkit.command.unban.ip'
        - 'bukkit.command.unban.player'
        - 'bukkit.command.gamemode'
        inheritance:
        - Vip
    Admin:
        prefix: '[Admin]'
        suffix: ''
        permissions:
        - '*'
        inheritance:
        - Moderator
users:
    Skittle013:
        group:
        - Moderator

The moderator codes are what I am looking at

 

That should work. Which command are you doing that isn't working?

 

none of them are working, I tried removing the dashes as well, because someone told me they meant negative permission or something. So yea its not working still......

 

Leave the dashes in. They only negate if you double them up like this "- -bukkit.command.kick".

Are you perhaps running any other plugins? The only reason those permissions wouldn't work is if you are running something like Essentials that overrides the command.

 

I think I put it in the wrong place, you put it in the /plugins/permissionsex/config, right? If so, do you just paste it in under all the original text, or is there a certain place you need to put it, if so where?
This is what it says when there is nothing in it, where do I put the permissions?

Code:

permissions:
  backend: file
  backends:
    file:
      file: permissions.yml
  superperms: {}

 

Nope, you need to put it in the permissions.yml file.
