LuckPerms/README.md

LuckPerms

A (fairly bad) permissions implementation for Bukkit/BungeeCord.

Features

• Group inheritance - users can be members of multiple groups, groups can inherit other groups
• Temporary permissions - users/groups can be given permissions that expire after a given time
• Temporary groups - users/groups can be added to/inherit other groups temporarily
• Multi-server support - data is synced across all servers/platforms
• Per-server permissions/groups - define user/group permissions that only apply on certain servers
• Server-specific groups - define groups that only apply on certain servers
• Tracks / paths - users can be promoted/demoted along multiple group tracks
• Vault Support - hooks into Vault to integrate with other plugins
• Developer API - easily integrate LuckPerms into your own projects
• Easy and simple setup and configuration using commands - no editing yml files, yuck
• Efficient/lightweight - maybe? Who knows, it might be.
• BungeeCord compatible - permissions, users and groups are synced across Bukkit/BungeeCord instances
• Support for MySQL, SQLite & Flatfile (JSON) - other storage methods coming soon (maybe)

Possible Caveats

• Currently only supports MySQL, SQLite & Flatfile (JSON) (support for more methods might come in the future)
• Not at all tested and could produce unexpected/buggy results and errors

Setup

All configuration options are in the config.yml file, which is generated automagically when the plugin first starts.

You can define the settings for per-server permissions, the storage method and credentials within this file.

Info

Permission Calculation

Permissions are calculated based on a priority system as follows.

• Temporary permissions will override non-temporary permissions.

Example: if a user has a false permission set for "test.node", and a temporary true permission set for "test.node", the temporary permission will override the permanent one, and the user will be granted the true node.

• Server specific permissions will override generic/global permissions.

Example: if a user has a global "fly.use" permission, and then has a negated "fly.use" permission on the "factions" server, the server specific permission will override the globally defined one, and the user will be granted the negated node.

• Inherited permissions will be overridden by an objects own permissions.

Example: A user is a member of the default group, which grants "some.thing.perm", but the users own permissions has "some.thing.perm" set to false. The inherited permission will be overridden by the users own permissions, and the user will be granted the negative node.

Temporary Permissions

Temporary permissions are checked each time a user/group is loaded, and when the sync task runs. This means if you set a temporary permission to expire after 30 seconds, it won't actually be removed until the sync task runs.

The only way around this is to decrease the sync interval.

API

LuckPerms has an extensive API, allowing for easy integration with other projects. To use the Api, you need to obtain an instance of the LuckPermsApi interface. This can be done in two ways, (one way on BungeeCord).

final LuckPermsApi api = LuckPerms.getApi();
final LuckPermsApi api = Bukkit.getServicesManager().getRegistration(LuckPermsApi.class).getProvider();

If you want to use LuckPerms in your onEnable method, you need to add the following to your plugins plugin.yml.

depend: [LuckPerms]

All of the available methods can be seen in the various interfaces in the luckperms-api module.

Commands

Command usage is printed to the console/chat whenever invalid arguments are provided. Simply typing /perms will list all commands a user has permission to use.
