PermissionsBukkit - the Official Default Groups Plugin
Current Version: v2.0
Find PermissionsBukkit on the forums!
It's been a long time coming, but with the accomplishment of build 1000 Bukkit has finally accomplished a built-in Permissions system (codenamed Superperms). For more info on how they work, and how to integrate them with your plugin, see the official Permissions FAQ. Keep in mind that you should rarely, if ever, have to hook this plugin directly; instead keep things in the realm of checking player.hasPermission("yourplugin.node"). The FAQ thread has more info on how to use Superperms with things like chat prefixes/suffixes.
Features:
- Storage of users and groups in plugins/PermissionsBukkit/config.yml.
- Both users and groups can be assigned individual permissions and parent groups to inherit permissions from.
- Support for global and per-world permissions.
- Reload configuration from file without reloading the plugin.
- Ability to check if a player has a specific permission node.
- Ability to dump all permissions a player has and the plugins that set them.
- Ability to print plugin, description, and default for a given permission node.
- Ability to modify the permissions of groups and users and the groups of a user in-game.
- Built-in antibuild via the "permissions.build" node (defaults to allowing anyone to build).

InsidiousDesign Apr 08, 2012 at 00:21 UTC - 0 likesTo everyone I seem to have found a fix. For every plugin, you must use their plugin.* node. You must use only two spaces instead of 4 for indents. You must name your starting group (Default group) to default. Prefix's must come from a 3rd party plugin (another plugin, i.e.- simpleprefix which gives you a node to add to the permissions). To promote a player you use /permissions player addgroup <player name> <group> THEN ALSO /permissions player removegroup <player name> <old group>. There must be NO blank lines in your config.yml. There must be no YML mistakes, double, triple and quadruple check. I hope this answers all of the questions that I have found so far because everything is working perfectly on my server. Best of luck -Wil
