[server] A permission problem

Hey post in the link in my signature and I'll see if I can help you!

EmeraldAdminDear minecrafters.
I already spend hours of watching turtorials, asking friends , and wandering through examples. But none are clear to me, The problem is i don't know where to start with the group, and how i get myself to owner on my server. If someone just could give a example group: just a random group with all the requirements and things filled in. it would help me alot, and i could continue on my quest to make my server,
Thank you for you're time if you decide to help me.

Here, just an example. I didn't add much permissions, nor make the suffix/prefix nice. Hope it will help you
groups:
owner:
default: false
prefix: '&e[OWNER]'
suffix: '&e'
permissions:
- '*'
default:
default: true
prefix: '[New]'
suffix: '&2'
permissions:
- essentials.balance
- assassin.*
- multiverse.access.hub
trusted:
default: false
prefix: '[Member]'
suffix: '&2'
permissions:
- multiverse.access.con
- multiverse.access.maze
- essentials.balance
- assassin.*
inheritance: Default
builder:
default: false
prefix: '[Builder]'
suffix: '&2'
permissions:
- multiverse.access.con
- plotme.use
inheritance: Default

Whoa, it's been a long time since the last time I explained how permissions works. Brace yourself, a super-long article is coming right up!

Just before I start, note that all I'll be writting is regarding to Permissions Ex (PEX). The other permissions plugins can have some differences, but not too many, just so you know.
Here is the example group, taken from my old post on minecraftforum.net.

groups:
group
default: true
permissions:
- permission.node
- allpermissions.*
- -disallowedpermission.node
inheritance:
- othergroup

First tier (groups:) have no spaces, second tier (group) have two spaces and third tier (the rest) have four spaces.

Just make your group with permissions you want. Then you will want to align yourself to the group. It's the same format, only different words:

users:
<playername>
groups:
- group
permissions:
- permission

Hope this helped you to understand at least a little, if you have any questions, let me know.

I'll post the link to the minecraftforum thread, it should contain all the basic informations, just if you wanted to check it out.

A long quote:

I don't know if you made it on purpose, or not, but you forgot the colon after 'group', and <playername>. This is important, it would mess up whole config!

so if i want to make the group admin i make something like this?

admin
default: false
prefix: '&2[Admin]&f"
permissions:
- essentials.spawn
- essentials.sethome
- essentials.home

And to make myself that admin:

users:
Exampleguy33
groups:
- admin

Would this be correct? or am i doing something wrong?
Thank you for your time to

That looks good. Just make sure you have all the spacing correct in the actual yml file.

I'm not sure what do you mean. The example is based from an actual working permission file. It could be a mistake on my side, but somehow it works. Please tell me what I'm missing.

So now when i got the spacing right. how to make myself owner? when i try promoting myself it just redirects to the commandslist. what to do?

Emerald,

You cannot promote yourself. You have to follow Niklon's command to set you group. Here is a handy list that I reference all the time to remind myself what the commands are.
