Server Permissions Help Needed

I have a bukkit server, but currently I have no permissions. I need four groups, the default one having the inability to build, and the next step up needs to be able to build, but not use any plug ins. How do I set this up?

 

Do you know what permissions plugin you will use? I strongly recommend bPermissions. It is easy to setup (as easy as it can be, trust me) and FULLY supports SuperPerms, unlike how PermissionsEx mirrors stuff...
So, which? PEX or bPermissions? It's your choice.
A plugin that would disallow building would be Antiguest--if using bPermissions. PermissionsEx has ModifyWorld, which has similar permissions. Both disallow building, if you'd like.

 

Anitguest sounds good. So I get both Antiguest and bPermissions? And also I assume there are commands to up rank and down rank players, how do I make that more specific when giving out permissions so the rank you are can only rank someone up to the rank below yours.

I set up bpermissions and it isn't working, what am I doing wrong?

Very simple, yaml error

Code:

Users:
  robotv56:
    permissions: []
    groups:
    - Cartographer

Also don't capitalise yaml keys - GrouP is not the same as group

 

still isn't working... is there something I'm missing? is there something I need to do to the permissions file in the main folder?

 

no, you have lots of yaml errors. I'm not going to help you fix them all as I don't have all your files.

HINT: use commands ONLY

Best bet for you is to start from scratch

 

HELP!!!

You cannot use tabs in YML files, you need to use spaces =)

If anyone needs one on one bPermissions ONLY help, feel free to private message me. If I get a message saying OMFG HLEP ME IM SO CONFUSED I wont reply. Post your ./bPermissions/worldname/groups.yml and users.yml and your server.log.
