Normal Admin adding users
« on: March 30, 2009, 09:45:23 PM »
Is there a way to addusers (or let admins/super's) to ulx WITHOUT using rcon ?
Is there somewhere i can change in the code to do this ?

You can add superadmins if YOU are a superadmin.

I am super admin ... but if i want to add users i have to do this through a rcon command, rather than client console.
What i would like is to give my admin the ability to ... 'promote' people they see fit, but that can not add users, as they do not have rcon access.

Meeces2911, if ULib sees you as superadmin when you join your server, you shouldn't need to use rcon to add others.

If you have superadmin access, you can grant any person or group the add user access through userallow or groupallow.
Though, I don't recommend giving it randomly.

meeces2911 as a SuperAdmin you can use the following command to add users through client console:

ulx rcon adduser name group

So for e.g if you was adding me you would go:

ulc rcon adduser igiz admin

If you want your friend to be able to add admins without knowing or needing to acess server rcon just add your friend to superadmins and tell him to use the command above,this way you won't have to give out the rcon password and your friend will be able to add admins through client console.You do not have to type in the full name,you can just type part of the name as long as no one else has it.

I hope that's what you wanted.

First off, thank you all for your replies.
second, if i dont use rcon, it says the command is complicated.. or something and see usermanagement help.
Giving a group useradd, should have worked, im guessing ... but it did not. i changed my group to admin, and recieved the same message.
Also in the  server logs, i see: Lua error: failed to write /ulib/users.txt --> something along the lines of that, im not viewing the server logs atm, so im not sure exactly. i do know i have permissions to write there, because adv dupe works find, along with straded gamemodes.
