# Permissions has AntiBuild, which prevents a player from destroying/placing blocks.
# To prevent a group of players then set the build: flag to false (build: false).
# If you want a group to be able to build then set it to true.
##
# Groups can inherit from other groups.
# To make a group inherit the permissions and info nodes from another
# group, simply place the groups name in the "inheritance:" like so:
#
# Example:
# inheritance:
# - Default
##
# Wildcard Permission settings:
#
# You can have wildcard nodes which encompass all nodes that match it.
# For example, the node "modplugin.*" matches "modplugin.kick", "modplugin.ban",
# "modplugin.settings.view", and so on.
#
##
# A single asterisk means that this user/group has all permissions.
# - '*'
##
# Negated nodes are created by prefixing a normal node with "-".
# They prevent less specific wildcard nodes from matching the negated node.
# For example:
#
# permissions:
# - 'foo.*'
# - '-foo.bar'
#
# In this case, the user/group will have "foo.foo", "foo.foobar", and so on, but not "foo.bar".
#
##
# prefix: and suffix: do not do anything on their own. You need another outside plugin
# such as iChat or HeroChat in order for these to do anything.

Look at dev.bukkit.org for all plugins. Don't look in plugin releases, a lot of plugins in there are very out-dated.
