Understanding Groups

[saintmark]

I would like to start by saying "Thank You" to the Ulysses Team for providing a quality admin tool and support!

I have been searching for a page that shows what the 3 groups have access to, but have not found anything. I would like to know what the default "powers" are for operators, admins, and superadmins.

(btw I have read the FAQ, ulx usermanagementhelp, and several pages on here... I hope that I have not missed something and get bashed for it  )

Thank You again for your help and support,
Saint Mark

Thank you saintmark.

Superadmin -
You should find  the faq "What ulx commands should I see in "ulx help"? helpful.

As for the other default groups, you can take a look at the default group.txt file in <your gmod>/data/ULib/groups.txt file.
For Admins, it would be easier to show what they DON'T have

Code: [Select]

"ulx hiddenecho"
"ulx rcon"
"ulx luarun"
"ulx cexec"
"ulx ent"
"ulx adduser"
"ulx removeuser"
"ulx userallow"
"ulx userdeny"
"ulx addgroup"
"ulx removegroup"
"ulx groupallow"
"ulx groupdeny"
"overcomeimmunity"
"ulx explode"
"ulx adduserid"
You see, superadmins have the above commands, and then inherit admin (if you look at the previous faq, super admiins have all those, admins don't have the listing I just did)

Operators - by default, have same access as a 'user', but see moderator speech.
From chat.. @ <blah> or from console ulx asay <blah>
Operators are pretty much a group meant for customization using ulx groupallow
Don't forget, you can always use "ulx addgroup" to create new groups. Inherit other groups if needed (if not specified, inherits user by default)

User - Anyone who joins the server has the following access by default.
All groups, even if inherit isn't specified, inherit the 'user' permissions. (Megiddo, correct me if I'm wrong on that)

Code: [Select]

"ulx help"
"ulx psay"
"ulx asay"
"ulx thetime"
"ulx me"

Id just like to point out. This is a very good and efficient way to get help around here.

Notice how in this origional post he was very very polite and asked a specific question, and JamminR was nice and specific in his response.

If this same question would have been asked in the usual ungrateful demanding tone that 80% of the users here use, he would have gotten the usual canned response...
"Please read our FAQ section or the readme.txt file that came with your download of ULX."
