Permissions 2.0 assistance. I'm at a loss...

So i've been hunting forums wiki's and the like. nevertheless, i still can't seem to figure out what i'm doing wrong, i tried checking for accidental tabs (cause notepad++ likes throwing those in), kept checking my syntax and nothing seems to get the group permissions to function. My server gives me no errors, but when i login i'm not even set to the default group.
I'm only using essentials and mcmmo with this so i don't think thats the problem.
if anyone can figure out what i'm doing wrong that would be awesome!
here is the code in my world.yml

Code:

plugin:
    permissions:
        system: default
        copies:

groups:
    Default:
        default: true
        info:
            prefix:
            suffix:
            build: true
        inheritance:
        permissions:
            - 'essentials.msg'
            - 'essentials.afk'
            - 'essentials.rules'
            - 'essentials.motd'
            - 'essentials.me'
            - 'essentials.list'
            - 'essentials.mail'
            - 'essentials.helpop'
            - 'essentials.whois'
            - 'essentials.help'
            - 'essentials.sethome'
            - 'essentials.home'
            - 'essentials.spawn'
            - 'essentials.warp'

    Merchant:
        default: false
        info:
            prefix:
            suffix:
            build: true
        inheritance:
            - Default
        permissions:
            - 'essentials.balance'
            - 'essentials.tp'
            - 'essentials.tpahere'
            - 'essentials.signs.trade.*'
            - 'essentials.signs.disposal.*'
            - 'essentials.signs.protection.*'
            - 'essentials.mail.send'

    Hero:
        default: false
        info:
            prefix:
            suffix:
            build: true
        inheritance:
            - Merchant
        permissions:
            - 'mcmmo.skills.*'
            - 'mcmmo.motd'
            - 'mcmmo.chat.partychat'
            - 'mcmmo.commands.ptp'
            - 'mcmmo.commands.party'
            - 'mcmmo.commands.whois'

    Admin:
        default: false
        info:
            prefix:
            suffix:
            build: true
        inheritance:
        permissions:
            - '*'

users:
    J3lack:
        groups:
            - Admin

    player 1:
        groups:
            - Merchant

    player 2:
        groups:
            - Hero

 

only works for me when i use the default set up with the permissions line under group

 

turns out you were right, it requires me to specify the - '*' on the permissions line, i hope when my players join i don't have to give the entire list for their groups but we'll see...

Code:

users:
    J3lack:
        groups:
            - Admin
        permissions:
            - '*'

    player 1:
        groups:
            - Hero
        permissions:

    player 2:
        groups:
            - Hero
        permissions:
