Solved Permissions messed up somehow (reserved rank order)

    So this might have been on the table before, I don't know.

    The Oxide permission system works mostly fine for me on our server, but when I'm using the plugin BetterChat (in this case most obviously) the permissions for my groups are after every restart reset like that the "admin" group have the "color_owner" I made for my group obviously called "owner" that also have the higher rank then "admin".

    Is this something you can work around or do I really need to have my highest ranked group called "admin" for it to work?

    You can't edit the permission files manually while the server is running, and editing them manually isn't recommended in general.

    I didn't say I was editing it manually. I said that the permission system seems to think that my group "admin" is the highest ranked and therefor give both the "color_admin" and "color_owner" to "admin".

    But when you mention it - When are we going to see a way to manually edit the group and/or the user data files?

    You can edit them manually while the server is shutdown, but they should not be edited manually in most situations, that's what the commands are for. Players with auth level 2 will automatically be placed in the admin group, and players with auth level 1 are placed in the moderator group when they first connect. Oxide doesn't automatically assign you permissions otherwise, it all depends on what you or plugins have setup and what you've assigned groups/users. If you could provide your permission files, I may be able to point you toward the cause of your issue.

    I did create the groups with the commands, I gave them the rank order I like them to have with commands, I gave the permissions with commands. Everything with the commands. In-game and RCON in Rusty.

    It still reset it like "admin" is higher then "owner". I even did try to create a group in between.

    So with other words - You can't have a group with a higher rank then the "admin" group?

    If you can provide the data/oxide.groups.json and oxide.users.json, I can help you from there. It sounds like you have admin set at a higher rank.

    Here are the files. This version of the oxide.group.json is the one I made manually and uploaded while the server was down. No matter if I make the groups through commands or use the manually edited file the result is the same with the BetterChat plugin who is automatically adds the "correct" color permissions. And as you can see in the oxide.users.json I was automatically added to the "admin" group who is not the highest ranked one.

    Please post in the appropriate thread, else create a new thread if you are having an issue.

    You have your ranks reversed. 0 is actually the highest rank with Oxide permissions.

    Seems logic. But there's a problem - This time it couldn't add the permissions for my own created groups. No matter if I did change the ranks in the BetterChat config or not.

    Yes I'm using BetterChat for testing cause it adds the permissions automatically and is easily tested directly in-game.

    I can't really tell you what to do with BetterChat as I'm not familiar with it, that's more of a question for the plugin's author in its thread. If there is an issue with Oxide permissions I'm happy to help with that, but there doesn't appear to be.
