Request for admin groups

[Stevess]

I've tried to make admin groups in ulib but it's really hard to do. If anyone that knows how and would help i only need 3.

[Megiddo]

"ulx adduser name admin"

[SkuD]

I think he means he wants to create 3 groups of admins, so he can add users to those groups.  Like Super Admin, Admin, Basic Admin.  I don't think he is asking how too add a user to admin.  Also, don't forget that not everyone knows code or understands things as well as you do.  Explanations can go along way.

[JamminR]

Skud, We understand. Thanks.
However. We've explained until we're blue in the face. (and other colors that the human face just shouldn't turn)
Both on this forum (which, actually, contains some of the best explanations I think), and on facepunch.

Most (not all, but, unfortunately, most) aren't willing to read and research what we've attempted to explain in various answers here and on FP seemingly hundreds of times before.
So, we often limit ourselves to one or two sentence answers.

Stevess,
The best way to learn is to look at examples on this forum (search for groups.txt or groups), or look at the file which we include in your addons/Ulib/data/format.txt

[SkuD]

Indeed, people tend to post first, and search later.  I would answer his questions but I have not yet jumped into the full extent of the lua code for ulx.  You could probably have a giant READ ME FIRST ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED HERE post, and people who still ask questions.

I read the format.txt and the readme but this isn't precise enough to me.
I have searched Groups & Groups.txt and have not found anything(on the forum like suggested).
Im looking to add 3 groups into the groups.txt manually with different levels of access.
I currently have this written in there(I don't know why it was just in there).

Code: [Select]

"Out"
{
"superadmin"
{
}
}
This code doesn't match the code in the format.txt
I need 3 groups.
Super Admin; which currently works fine with the code that is currently in the .txt
Super Moderators
and Moderators.

If someone could show me the format of what 3 user groups look like it would be very helpful.

Super Admins of coarse get total access
Super Moderators can; ulx kick ulx ban
Moderators can; ulx kick
Could you show me how to do this as im confused on editing the file.

[JamminR]

What the <censor> is not to understand about the groups section of format.txt

Code: [Select]

Format of group in groups.txt--
"Out"
{
     "<group_name>"
     {
           "allow"
           {
          "1" "ulx kick"
          "2" "ulx ban"
           }
                   "deny"
           {
         "1" "ulx cexec"
                   }
     }
}

SO..
Rinse, repeat. But add your own groups.

Code: [Select]

"Out"
{
     "superadmin"
     {
     }
     "supermoderator"
     {
           "allow"
           {
          "1" "ulx blah1"
          "2" "ulx blah2"

           }
                   "deny"
           {
         "1" "ulx blah3"
                   }
     }
     "moderator"
     {
           "allow"
           {
          "1" "ulx blah1"
           }
                   "deny"
           {
         "1" "ulx blah3"
                   }
     }
}

By default, any custom group gets the same access as users. That is, they get ulx who, thetime, ulx help, and a few others I don't remember on the top of my head.
You would add/adjust the deny list for each group if you didn't want them having access to something normally given to users. (ulx who, etc)
You would add/adjust the allow list to give your custom groups the commands you wanted.

For safety, if you allow someone access to a command that also has a corresponding "un" command, add both. (Example, ulx ghost, ulx unghost)

Though we might have, or will in future, change code to be smart enough that if you give someone the original command, I'm not sure we have yet, nor is Spbogie

There, I've done half your work for you. Its not even my <censor> server.
I'm a sucker. Gimme karma. Preferably, register and become donator to our server.

Ok Thank You very much JamminR.
I'm sorry for being Retarded but I could not work out why the super moderator had a different format, or where to start the position of the next user.
All is sorted now=)... hopefully.

EDIT:
I need to know what a default user gets?
so far you have said they get:
ulx who

Im guessing the defaults are:
ulx adminmenu
ulx clientmenu
ulx help
ulx menu
ulx motd
ulx thetime
ulx who

(are there anymore)

Buy is that all?
I need to know if I have to give them eg. ulx adminmenu
I could not find a readme that says what are the default commands all users can get.

[JamminR]

I could not work out why the super moderator had a different format,

Technically, it doesn't. By default, superadmin can do anything, so, there are no "allow" or "deny" subgroups listed.
You could specify that superadmin have some commands "denied" if you wanted by adding that "deny" list.
I've known one server host that denied "ulx rcon" "ulx ent" and "ulx luarun" to the super admins he had. He reallly only implicitly trusted one or two to have that access, and shared his actual rcon password with them.

Though I help code ULX, I don't know all the default "user" access commands by heart.
My recommendation to get them would be to, as a superadmin, follow the instructions in this post, then run a ulx help in your own client console. The commands that list would be default once your access is removed.

[Jethro]

Very sorry to be such a pain but it hasn't worked.

This is my users.txt

Code: [Select]

"Out"
{
"Redrum"
{
"type" "steamid"
"groups"
{
"1" "administrator"
}
"id" "STEAM_0:1:2781740"
}
"Elmo"
{
"id" "STEAM_0:0:14122588"
"type" "steamid"
"groups"

"1" "administrator"
}
}
"Jethro"
{
"id" "STEAM_0:1:11827370"
"type" "steamid"
"groups"
{
"1" "superadmin"
}
}
}


Its not working, Redrum has no Admin. Superadmin works.

I have made sure that there are no default "allow" commands like:
 o asay
 o help
 o menu
 o motd
 o psay
 o thetime
 o votemap
in the "Allow Section".
It still doenst work so I don't know what ive done wrong this time.
Only superadmin works.

[spbogie]

Please read the Sticky and come back with the requested info.

Remember spbogie, we have to do all the work for this guy.
Give them the link.

Wait, bogie, meg, I'm confused myself.
I just looked at our server groups.txt ... there is no "Out" { }
Is that still required or not? If not, we need to update our format.txt

[spbogie]

It is required in the current released versions, but in the next version we are using our own KeyValues generator/parser and have removed the need for it.

[JamminR]

Gotcha. I'd seen the keyvalue addition, but didn't realise thats what it did. Thanks.
