Solved Permissions. How do you set them up?

I've been scratching my head for awhile at this point. I'm trying to set up SkyChest and EasyEnchant on my server. But both require permissions to use. I thought it would be pretty straight forward, apparently I was wrong.

I downloaded and installed PermissionsBukkit. Everything I've tried to add SkyChest and EasyEnchant has netted me nothing.

Here's what I have for my permissions file.

Code:

users:
    ConspiracyWizard:
        permissions:
            permissions.example: true
        groups:
        - admin
groups:
    default:
        permissions:
            permissions.build: false
    admin:
        permissions:
            permissions.*: true
        inheritance:
        - user
    user:
        permissions:
            permissions.build: false
        worlds:
            creative:
                coolplugin.item: true
        inheritance:
        - default
    player:
        permissions:
            permissions.build: true
            easyenchant.use: true
        inheritance:
        - user
messages:
    build: '&cYou do not have permission to build here.'
 
debug: false

For easy enchant I have to add

Code:

easyenchant.use
easyenchant.(combo-name) ie. easyenchant.example

and for SkyChest

Code:

skychest.use  -  Allows the use of SkyChest

I've been staying away from permissions for this reason, but I would really like these two plug-ins on my server. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

 

If you used PermissionsEX, I could help you much more effectively.

Your easyenchant permission node was given to the 'player' group, all users you want to have this permission must be either in the 'player' group or in a group that inherits from it.

 

Here's what I've got now, but doesn't seem to be working.

Code:

users:
    Skimaster282:
        permissions:
            permissions.example: true
        groups:
        - admin
    Shoulkion:
        permissions:
            permissions.example: true
        groups:
        - user
    chris:
        permissions:
            permissions.example: true
        groups:
        - user
    dirk
        permissions:
            permissions.example: true
        groups:
        - user
   
groups:
    default:
        permissions:
            permissions.build: false
    admin:
        permissions:
            permissions.*: true
        inheritance:
        - user
    user:
        permissions:
            permissions.build: true
            easyenchant.*: true
            skychest.use: true
           
        worlds:
            creative:
                coolplugin.item: true
        inheritance:
        - default

I completely got rid of the 'player' group as it was pointless. but I'm still unable to do anything unless I'm OP, and even then, SkyChest doesn't work, but I can use EasyEnchant while OP.

 

I recommend switching to PermissionsEX, sorry but I don't know how to offer support for permissionsbukkit.

 

I've switched to using PermissionsEX upon seeing several references to people using it, and your recommendation. Though still unclear to me how to set up the permissions.

 

Post your current permissions.yml in [ code ] tags and tell me what you'd like doing to it and I'll try my best to help you.

 

All I'm looking to do is all my players and myself use EasyEnchant and SkyChest.

Code:

groups:
 
  default:
    default: true
    permissions:
    - modifyworld.*
  user:
    default: false
    permissions:
    - easyenchant.*
    - skychest.use
    inheritance:
    - default
  Admin:
    permissions:
    - '*'
    inheritance:
    - moderator

Now would I just have to add something like

Code:

players:
  Skimaster282:
  group: Admin

to give me all of the permissions or something else?

 

Code:

groups:
    default:
        default: true
        permissions:
        - modifyworld.*
    user:
        default: false
        permissions:
        - easyenchant.*
        - skychest.use
        inheritance:
        - default
    moderator:
        default: false
        permissions:
        - null.null
        inheritance:
        - user
    Admin:
        permissions:
        - '*'
        inheritance:
        - moderator
     
users:
    Skimaster282:
        group:
        - Admin

Try that.

Also, PEX has commands to edit permissions so you don't have to mess with the file. To give a group permissions, do this...

Code:

/pex group member add essentials.tpa

To let your member group use the essentials /tpa command (assuming you have the essentials plugin)

Make sure that if you do edit the file that you run " /pex reload " after doing so.

 

Thank you very much for your help. It now works.

Would you mind posting a link to the essentials plug-in? I wouldn't mind taking a look at that.
