bPermissions
bPermissions
Welcome to bPermissions, a Superperms Manager for Bukkit! bPermissions focuses on being unique from the rest of the Permission managers. It's very simple to set up and use, it's lightning fast, fully featured, and has a great support team!
Some features:
- bPermissions has a gui client specifically designed to make running a server so easy that you'll forget that you ever used any other permissions plugin. Get it here!
- bPermissions has a unique command structure, never before seen in a permission manager. It's best used for adding lots of nodes to a user or group from the console or in-game, less typing!
- bPermissions has everything you would expect from a Permissions manager. Prefix and suffix support, inheritance, per-player permissions, multiworld support, promotion/demotion tracks, and even group priorities for multi-group setups.
- Note - bPermissions only defines prefixes and suffixes. You need a chat plugin such as bChatManager for them to show up in chat.
Commands
Say you have a user called 'Bob' and you want to put him in the group 'admin' and give him the prefix 'awesome'.
- /world yourmainworld - selects the world "yourmainworld"
- /user bob - selects the user "bob"
- /user setgroup admin - set bob's group as "admin"
- /user meta prefix awesome - set bob's prefix to "awesome"
You can do the same with groups!
- /world yourmainworld - again, selects the world
- /group admin - selects the group "admin"
- /group addgroup moderator - makes the admin group inherit from the moderator group
- /group meta prefix &c[Admin] - sets the admin prefix to "&c[Admin]"
Some other commands are as follows
- /permissions (or /bperms,/bp,/p) - general commands for bPermissions are prefixed by this
- /permissions import pex - import a pex permissions.yml in the pex folder
- /permissions reload - reloads your bPermissions files
- /permissions save - if auto-save is false, this saves your perms
- /permissions backup - backup your permissions
- /permissions helpme - for the lazy among you, this spews out some basic permissions files into your folder.
In order to use these commands, you'll need the permissions node bPermissions.admin
For configurable /promote and /demote tracks, you'll want to use permissions tracks. To read about those, visit this page
Want more commands? We have some others over on the commands page. Check 'em out!
Editing Files
bPermissions creates per world groups.yml and users.yml files in the bPermissions folder, which allow you to configure permissions on a per world basis.
Because bPermissions was designed to be configured largely via commands, bPermissions will often overwrite changes to these files especially if you /reload or restart the server.
If you've edited the files, you MUST use /permissions reload to load the modified files into the server, otherwise the permissions changes won't apply. Because a standard /reload unloads all plugins like a server stop, we cannot tell the difference between them and this will overwrite changes to your files with whatever the server last stored.
World mirroring
Worlds are mirrored like so:
world_mirroring_to: world_mirroring_from world_nether: world world_the_end: world
This duplicates the whole config for that world. Currently there's no way to have just the users or the groups mirrored, stay tuned for an update that adds this!
bPermissions and EssentialsChat
Allow me to put this issue to bed. Essentials Chat + bPermissions works for prefix and color.
This guide is for current users of EssentialsChat and want to use bPermissions along with it.
Players have colored rank prefixes and faction chat modes are also colored. All text can be colored by the players too using color codes such as &c.
bPermissions\world\groups.yml ( code snippet )
default: default groups: ## Peasant ## default: permissions: - group.default - group.userannouncer - group.userauction groups: - userannouncer - userauction meta: priority: '100' ## Citizen ## rank1: permissions: - group.default - group.rank1 groups: - default meta: priority: '200'
It has nothing configured for prefix but the group names are important (default, rank1)
Essentials\config.yml ( Code Snippet )
change-displayname: true #add-prefix-suffix: false player-commands: - chat.color - chat.format - chat.shout - chat.question chat: radius: 0 group-formats: default: '&8&lPeasant &r&8{DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}' rank1: '&8&lCitizen &r&7{DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}' moderator: '&e&l[Mod] &r&3{DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}' admin: '&c&l[Admin] &r&e{DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'
Please direct all other Essentials support to their official support networks.
How do I get support?
First, we highly recommend you go read the FAQ page. If the answer isn't there, there's a few options of support.
- Visit the #bananacode irc channel on irc.esper.net. Just head there, as your question, and wait for someone to help you. It might be a while before you get an answer, so be patient!
- You can file a ticket. This is recommended if you don't have the time to hang around in the IRC or you have a bug report. Be prepared to check back to the ticket though, and make sure you attach your bPermissions groups and users yml files to the ticket.
- Comment on the bPermissions main page.
Note that as there's only one (slightly inactive) maintainer at the moment, any support queries may take some time.
However you choose to get support, "pls dont use txt spk," and make sure you use actual grammar.
I'm a developer!
If you wish to hook your plugin into bPermissions, please see the Developer Page for more information! If you wish to contribute code to bPermissions, fork us on GitHub!
Development builds of this project can also be downloaded from GitHub now. These builds have not been approved by the BukkitDev staff, and are possibly buggy. Use them at your own risk.

No, but you could request a plugin which can do this for bPermissions.

Why not try it and see? If it lowercases everything, then it would ignore the uppercased things. Similarly, if something was uppercased, it would be ignored. Even if it only had one uppercase letter, the key wouldn't be accessed.
@LordValgor
I'm afraid I don't follow.

Ok, but when I add or remove groups (even if I add a group before removing one) the group peon is added under their name, and peons don't have build rights so you can see how this becomes a problem.

What if they are only in there once in all uppercase?
(sorry for the tedious questions, Just want to find out all possilbe issues first, before switching over)

Then every player with no group will get "peon".

MySQL is slower/more annoying. I only provide it so stupid people don't bug me about it.
If you had them in there once all caps and once lowercase it would only access the lowercase one.

So what would happen if the person is in there twice? Once with capital letters, and once with lowercase.
And, what do you recommend regarding of storage? Yaml or MySQL? Is using a MySQL database let it perform faster/better?

I am not quite sure how that is supposed to work... Basically I have several groups Peon to Admin. Under default I have "peon" Does this help at all? lol. Thanks for the help in advance.
(PS I do not have an actual group labeled "default")

It lowercases all your commands/all api methods so if you type "PLAYERname" then it will actually access "playername" etc.
@LordValgor
Hi, I think you're going about this the wrong way. Each group is supposed to build on the last (also if you have no groups then you get the default group)

Posted Nov 1, 2011Hello, Whenever I add a rank or remove a rank from a player via a command (regardless of which I do first) It always adds my default group to the player. I probably have something set up wrong... but Is there any way around this? Thanks.

So if it's on and there are capital letters in a group name or a player name it will break? I am a bit confusing, sorry.
Not related to above, do you suggest using mysql over yaml? Any benefits to one or the other?

See the explanation of the config.yml options
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/bpermissions/pages/config-yml-explained/
You can turn case sensitivity in groupnames/playernames on/off.

So I've noticed this "01/11/2011 I hate case insensitivity, just fyi" as one of the change log messages :P Doesn't that mean it's no longer case sensitive? If so what happens, if I am in permissions twice as IMAXORZ and as imaxorz. Will the plug in look at the last/first one only?
