Solved GroupManager Clarification

I just don't want to have to rewrite them once I do it xD.

Someone reassure me I'm doing it right.

Example for AutoSaveWorld:

So, I denote that group of all nodes by giving them, "- -autosaveworld.*"
Then give them specific nodes/commands back after stating the negative wildcard with,
"- autosaveworld.reload"

Right?

I couldn't find any documentation stating that this is the correct/preferred way. And I recall having problems with the wildcard being placed after or before individual nodes.

 

unless the plugin gives default nodes, you dont need to give a wildcard negation. If you do, then negation will override normal nodes, you need an exception node, being, "- +autosaveworld.reload"

 

I never knew about exception nodes.

Seems there's not too much documentation concerning them. Thanks a bunch Necrodoom .

 

MaliciousMan Havent seen someone using these in more than an year, did not seem useful.

 

Necrodoom So do you advise doing it this way? Are there other, more preferred ways of doing it?

 

Directly negate the default given permissions.

 

Necrodoom So, negate EACH node I don't want them to have, then also give each node I DO want them to have. Instead of just negating all nodes using a wildcard and using exception nodes.

 

MaliciousMan It's less buggy when you use all of the nodes and it helps with troubleshooting possible future problems.

 

JaguarJo Fair enough, you've convinced me. Nice points.

 

MaliciousMan I doubt you have many plugins youd need to negate default nodes off, though.
