User Permissions

 Top  Previous  Next

When a user logs into the server, he is assigned a permission set.  By default the user is assigned the Default permission set.  Permission sets can be assigned to users based on custom logic by the use of a login event handler, which is described in detail in Extensions.

 

ElectroServer exposes more than twenty key actions that can be permitted or denied via a permission set.  If a user attempts to perform an action that they are not permitted, then that user is delivered a server error message indicating that access of the feature is denied.

 

Here is the list of actions that can be permitted or denied through the use of permission sets:

•Create user variables 
•Update user variables 
•Delete user variables 
•Create rooms 
•Join rooms 
•Leave rooms 
•Change room details 
•Create room variables 
•Update room variables 
•Delete room Variables 
•Add operators 
•Remove operators  
•Invoke room plugins 
•Invoke server plugins 
•Send public messages 
•Send private messages 
•Kick user 
•Ban user
•Kick users (server level) 
•Ban users (server level) 
•Kick users without operator status 
•Ban users without operator status 
•Add operators without operator status 
•Remove operators without operator status 

 

Note that without operator status permissions allow users who are not operators themselves to kick or ban other users.  Similarly, the add/remove operators without operator status permissions will allow non-operator users to give themselves operator status and remove it from other operators.  Use these without operator status permissions with extreme caution.
