    I recently went to a new hosting company to host Rust Experimental and am having issues with the permissions.
    See below for an example as this happens whenever I attempt to use an oxide command to gain permissions.

    oxide.grant user datadawg sil_url
    Unable to load permission files! Permissions will not work until the error has been resolved.
    => Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: o. Path '', line 0, position 0.

    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    You'll need to delete that file and let Oxide re-create it. You manually edited it and added text unrelated to what it is used for. Rust's commands and auth level stuff doesn't go in Oxide's permission files.
