Groupsyncronisation is a good Feature for people which want to have a V.I.P. or something else on more than one Level. Even Admin and Mods can now be maintained by changing your Forum Group. On their next Login their Group will be checked, if their Forum Group and Server Group different, the Server Group will be overriden. This is a handy set-up. But there are several limitations: You can give other people the same Rank, because if you change the Value of your Minecraft Username to another, while your logged in, the other Person will be given your Rank. People could abuse this Feature to get unlimited VIP Accounts (in theory). I have no idea how to fix this, actually this is a 'Feature'. You would need to implement something in your Software to prevent this.

Requirements: Vault + PermissionsPlugin Basic understanding of the Texttutorial below:

You need to add a Field to the User Group Table. Every Field should have a Group. You need to create the Group in your Permission File either.

Text Tutorial:

Open your phpMyAdmin or a simelar MySQL Tool.

Open your Software Database.

Click on SQL

Enter this Code:

ALTER TABLE PREFIX_SOFTWAREGROUPTABLE ADD servergroup TEXT NOT NULL

replace PREFIX with your prefix. replace SOFTWAREGROUPTABLE with your Software grouptable

Click on ok

Enter this Code:

UPDATE PREFIX_SOFTWAREGROUPTABLE set servergroup='default' replace again the prefix and the tablename; replace default with your standard group.

7.Click ok

Create the permission Groups

Special Groups, e.g. admins need a other value in the database. Change the standard group of each forum group that should get another server group.

Enable GroupSync in your c.yml

Restart/(Reload) Server.
