Typically the lowest moderator rank has access to kick users, and jail a user, while higher ranks gain access to IP ban players, turn invisible, and spawn creative mode items. The next two groups can be merged or split even further based on your preference.This usually includes commands which involve the economy, basic teleportation, and other basic commands. The player group covers all the commands that established players can use.The newbie group contains the very basic permission nodes, and should be safe to give all newly joined players upon login.On smaller servers you might end up merging the moderator and admin rolls, but most people will have different opinions when it comes to which powers the admin should receive access to, and which powers moderators should receive as well. The most traditional system (shown below) uses group inheritance, starting with new players at the top, and owners on the bottom. This configuration can be as simple or as complicated as you make it. Except when you restart your server, essentials.jar will generate the configuration file for you in your server folders.ĭoes this help clarify things at all? I may still be misunderstanding what you're asking.Group Manager allows you to effectively manage users' permissions by letting you create as many different groups and sub-groups as you could possibly need.

The installation process should be fairly straight forward, you would just install the jars the same way you did with essentialschat. If you are using 1.11+ I recommend using essentialsx as I use it on all of my servers and it's proven to be quite reliable. What version is your server on? Also, what plugins do you currently have installed? You mentioned essentialsx, but that link was to an outdated version of essentails. I would recommend maybe installing them all, and then removing all but essentials chat once your configuration file has been generated. When you download essentails it will come with multiple jars (essentials, essentialschat, essentialsspawn, geoip, xmpp, etc.) the one you must install for the configuration file to be generated is essentials.jar. In order for essentials to properly create a configuration file, you have to install essentials.jar.
