Need help with permissions

[Evaley]

OK so i'm a relatively new server owner and have installed factions on my tekkit lite server but cannot for the life of me get the permissions sorted so that other players apart from me can actually use the plugin(i.e. create and manage factions), every attempt ends in either nothing happening or no one being able to do ANYTHING, i'm so stressed out with this that i'm literally on the verge of smashing my laptop up iv been at it for a week now and nothing on Google even comes close to helping, iv tried downloading PEX, bPermissions, Groupmanager and tried using bukkits permissions file nothing is working and i'm at my wits end. Please if someone knows what to do and how to fix it could they message me or hit me up on skype and explain it to me?

 

If you do want to skype me let me know and ill imbox you my name

If you want to use PermissionsEx (Pex), my personal favorite across all my servers/versions, I would be able to assist you. What are you doing now to limit or provide access to plugin features in the game? Once you add something like Pex (and any other perms engine) you'll need to define what permissions nodes you want people to have as they all usually default to "whitelist" where if you don't give them a specific perm then they don't have that perm.

[Evaley]

PEX would be great, do you have skype?

also want everyone to be able to use most faction commands

[Evaley]

oh and so far i have essentials and world edit no one can use worldedit bar me.....(fantastic) but everyone can already use all of the essentials commands that i want them to have i.e. tpa, home, sethome etc right from the off (again...fantastic), no permissions nodes nothing. its upon getting factions that iv needed permissions to be sorted out

[plowmanplow]

If you have no need to restrict access to items/blocks/etc. then do not install ModifyWorld, the partner mod for Pex.

 

Here is permissions.yml file for Tekkit Lite that implements multiple ranks. If you want fewer ranks it would be easy to strip out all but a couple. If you aren't going to be using ModifyWorld you can simply remove any line with "modifyworld" in it.

Once this file is in place and the server is restarted or you do a "pex reload" from the console, just type this from the console:

pex user YourGameName group set Owner

Then you can control everything from within game. Obviously you will need to tweak the perms a bit, but between a bit of help from me, that file as a starting point, and the Pex wiki you should be good to go.

[Evaley]

ok nice one, ill give that a go. so if i add say for example "- factions.create" to players permissions then everyone should be able to create a faction

[Evaley]

followed that to the letter and now players cant do anything >.<

[plowmanplow]

Make sure that players are getting the correct rank:

pex user PlayerName

[Evaley]

re deleted PEX so that players can do more that just walk talk and starve to death because they dont even have permission to eat food that they have in there hand

[Evaley]

i did, put one guy specifically into the players group and no change

[Evaley]

seems as though every time i try no one can do anything... AT ALL, from what i have reserched, everything im doing is right and that they should have all the permissions that iv alloted to them but not even one permission gets allowed not one

[Evaley]

iv tryed downloading differnt versions of pex and all other ones and the most iv been able to do is change the colour of there names from white to blue

[plowmanplow]

Not sure what else to say. The perms file I posted is directly from my server. I use Pex on seven servers across 3 different versions of Forge/MC. Without laying hands on the server files I think I'm stuck. Feel free to zip up the plugins folder you have and put it someplace i can get to. I'll go through setting up a tekkit lite server here with those plugins and see what's up.

ok i managed to add factions.create & factions.disband but they still cant break blocks or anything is there just a permission that im missing for that???

[Evaley]

they can do everything in the players permissions but only that i.e. cant break blocks, open chests or eat etc

[Evaley]

ok where can i put this zip?

[plowmanplow]

Personally, I use copy.com, but any of the public hosts will work.
