    THANKS IN ADVANCE.

    PermissionsEx (PEX) is a new permissions plugin, based on Permissions ideas and supports all of its features. But PEX is more! It offers different backends, powerful ingame management, fine grained restrictions for world modification.

    Current features
    1. Bukkit Permissions (SuperPerms) compatible.
    2. Several backend support. Currently bundled backends is File (YAML) and SQL (MySQL, SQLite). Also it's possible to add your own.
    3. YAML backend, with new, fully rethinked, config schema. Now all user, groups and their permissions are stored in one file - permission.yml. BTW file name is adjustable too.
    4. SQL backend, most delicious. Currently MySQL and SQLite supported, but other DB (like Postgre) are possible too. PEX deploys the DB scheme (tables and initial data) automatically. This means, that you only need to provide data on how to connect to the db, everything else PEX will handle by itself.
    5. Flexible architecture and API - you can change a lot programmatically.
    6. Compatibility layer with TheYeti's Permissions (2.7.4) (as a separate part of the plugin). In most cases plugins, which use Permissions, will alsowork with PEX also.
    7. Rich chat/console command interface. You can do almost everything ingame. Command list below.
    8. Modifyworld - Embedded restrictions mechanism (we call it "modifyworld"), which provides the possibility to control players abilities, such as destroying/placing blocks, riding carts/boats or even getting spotted by mobs and much more. Disabled by default.
    9. Multigroup inheritance. User, as well as Group, can be member of several groups. And inherit their permissions, options and prefix/suffix.
    10. Permissions based upon Regular Expressions. This mean you can use regular expressions. Example: modifyworld.blocks.(destroy|place).(3|12) - this permission allow place or destroy only sand (12) or dirt (3) blocks. There is still limitation on dot usage in your regexps - dots are escaped by default.
    11. Multiworld permissions. Just don't specify world and permission would work in any world.
    12. Multiworld inheritance. You can inherit different groups in different worlds.
    13. Easy migration from Permissions 2.x. Converter for both YAML and SQL are embedded into PermissionsCompat. Just use simple instruction.
    14. Perfomance friendly. Low-level caching helps alot when you have 100+ online users :)
    15. Promotional/Demotional system. You can assign ranks to groups and promote/demote users to higher/lower ranked group.
    16. World-inheritance - permissions/option of one world can be inherited by another world.
    17. Timed Permissions - you can give user permission only for some amount of time.
    18. Chat Manager - small chat plugin, bundled with PEX. With prefixes/suffiex and colors. Check wiki for more details.

    @t3hk0d3 Just a heads up, after a LOT of testing with a user of Stargate, I have come to the conclusion that wildcard and negation nodes are loaded in a very screwed up manner.
    This will work as expected, with all access to networks except for 'Bah':
    Code:
            - -stargate.network.Bah
            - stargate.network.*[.code]
    However this will not work, they get access to all network nodes:
    [code]        - stargate.network.*
            - -stargate.network.Bah
    I also noticed that giving 'stargate.network.*' gives the user the 'stargate.network' permission node, which to me is unexpected.

    t3hk0d3 please make a note of this ordering necessity in the main post of this thread.

    t'would be very helpful indeed :) PEX is dominant... thank you for continuing an alternate permissions method.
    it allows us to find new things that may be limited by bukkits perms. (just a theory) for stimulation's sake.

    Because, your default group name is 'Guest'. Under users you listed yourself being part of the group 'default' - However, there's no such group. Either remove the '- default' from your username or change the name of 'Group' to 'default'.

    I asekd you some days ago, if you are an OP. I did that because some plugins tend to give Ops all permissions. /deop yourselfe and try again.
    The output of /pex user zacthedead shows, that you have only the permissions you want for this group, hence your configuration seems to be correct.

    How do I enable groups to talk? I'm very new to PermissionEx so sorry if this is a dumb question. Also I am using the Chatmanager.jar plugin as well.

    Thanks!

    Right, Order matters! :D

    Drakia

    That is a terrible system, order should never matter when it comes to negations. And if order IS going to matter, the logical assumption is you give * then negate, not the other way around.

    t3hk0d3

    Dude, there were serious argue about negated nodes order on IRC. In few words - negated permissions pre ordering drop flexibility and sucks. User should choose by himself how to order his permissions. Previous "tradition" from Permissions were bogus and was hack around stupidity. Reducing abilities to contol own permissions to match stupid "traditions" are bad idea.
     
  12. Offline

    Drakia

    Yeah, users should be able to choose how to order their permissions and negations. It's too bad they can't with this plugin.
    And I'm not talking "tradition", I'm talking logic. Logically you give all permissions THEN subtract nodes, not the other way around.

    Continuing with this discussion... When a permission is inherited from a different group (Group B inherits Group A) and a negation entry is added to Group B. What is the outcome?

    1. Do the inherited permissions (from Group A) become loaded after the default permissions of Group B?

    2. Do they all get loaded together?

    Currently I am not having the negation node in Group B work if it is inheriting the node from Group A (same node, just not a negation).

    Default112

    It works like a firewall. Going from top to bottom an checking the nodes. So negated nodes must stay on top.

    Can you make it so a negative permission supersedes anything else?

    What are the basics commands for this ? Like killing mobs and building etc. ?

    this is dumb... if i have a person in a c group thant cant use something, then add(not set) him to a group that can, he still cant because the way this shitty plugin adds groups and required ordering of negations :p
    i thought pex was the best perm plugin and i realize now... i have cake in my teeth... THE LIES!

    I cannot get the plugin to work with MCMMO or MyHome, even though MyHome claims to work with it. I am using just the permissions layer until I can get it fixed. I need to get to PEX so I can use console commands to rank for auto-donations.

    I don't know if anyone has said something about this but there's no option to change a persons group, there's only the option to add a group to their list or add them too the group (same thing in the end but found there's 2 different commands you can use, sorta odd) There's no command to change their group, not add another one but change the one. I end up having to add them to the new group and remove them from the old one, which is annoying. I was wondering if in the future there would be a "change" groups command:
    pex user [username] change group [groupname]
    Something like that, merely a convenience doesn't need to happen but would be nice.

    Other than that fantastic plugin, no problems!

    "/pex user <username> group set <group>" changes their group. Or even the promotion and demotion commands would work as well.

    Make an Admin group through the commands via the console, then add yourself to it, then you can do in game commands.

    Is there a way to make it so that the prefix provided to the user overwrites the prefix from the group they are currently a part of?

    Now see I tried that but it did the same as "group add".
    I'll give it another go tonight but I've definitely tired it.

    Dunno what I did wrong but it works just fine now.
    Thanks for the help mate!
     
  27. I have noticed that after a server restart on my server some of the people I have promoted with this command gets deranked, anyone else experiencing this?

    Try using /save-all before the restart. I've never used this plugin before, but save-all usually fixes issues such as this with systems like this.

    Crap. I hate changing permissions -_- I wish we could just go back to when there was the one, 2.x permissions everyone used =/ But, because I HAVE to change permissions plugin now, this looks like a wonderful replacement

                prefix: ''
                suffix: ''
                build: true
            permissions: null
        moderators:
            inheritance:
            - default

        testplayer:
            permissions:
