RobertJohnson Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 From build 35.17, you'll be able to set different access level for your admin staff using /setaccesslevel "username" "accesslevel" option or directly inside the server database. List of access level possible: admin, moderator, overseer, gm, observer. This is what they all can do: (please note this list is subject to changes, this post is also to discuss about them) Observer: Toggle god mod (on himself only) Toggle invisible (on himself only) See players connected (/players) Teleport to a player (can't teleport a player elsewhere) Can toggle noclip (on himself only) Teleport to coordinates See server options Can open locked doors Can go inside safehouses Can't be kicked if too laggy Can always join server (even if full) Can talk even being invisible Sees invisible players Can't be hit by players Log directly invisible/invincible Can see players stats (name, skill, traits...) with click on player -> Check Stats (but can't modify them) GM: Everything an Observer can use, plus: Toggle god mod (on himself and others) Toggle invisible (on himself and others) Can toggle noclip (on himself and others) Teleport to a player to another player Use /alarm, /gunshot, /thunder and /chopper Start/Stop rain Add item Add xp Overseer: Everything a GM can use, plus: Create horde Kick user Display server message See connection info of a player Disconnect a player by connection number (/disconnect) Use /nightlengthmodifier Can modify player stats in the player stats UI Can ban a player from /all chat Moderator: Everything an Overseer can use, plus: Ban/Unban user (including steam ID) Manipulate whitelist (/adduser, /addusertowhitelist, /addalltowhitelist, /removeuserfromwhitelist Change access level (can't set admin) Can setup safehouses Admin: Everything a Moderator can use, plus: Save world Quit world Change access level (including admin) Reload server options Change server options Send pulse Reload Lua files Bypass Lua checksum EUDOXIO, Rainoa, LeoIvanov and 3 others 6
ProjectSky Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Awesome. I can't use servertest.ini directly set nightlengthmodifier option. Is this a problem?
Teesee Posted September 24, 2016 Posted September 24, 2016 Typo spotted : Moderator can do "everything a Counselor can do" but there's no such thing as a Counselor. I guess you meant Overseer
Pann Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Definitely awesome. It'd be BETTER if we can customize what each level can do, but FAR better than what we have now. Thank you so much for your help!

List of access level possible: admin, moderator, overseer, gm, observer. *snip* Running IWBUMS for my dedicated server I've tried all variations of this command (including different access levels) and it returns: java.lang.NullPointerException at zombie.network.GameServer.handleServerCommand(GameServer.java:1740) at zombie.network.GameServer.main(GameServer.java:735) Any idea what would cause this? Alternately, are there files I can manually modify to make myself an admin? (Note: when I open the server database all fields show as blanks.)

Reason why I'm asking: I want to alter the Moderator so that it no longer has the power to set access levels, but instead can use the "/quit" command. Even better would be a restart command, but don't know if this would be feasible for linux (especially LGSM).
Rainoa Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) are we able to disable the powers so we can play legit, when not needed? seems its already done for admin's in hosting clientside option! but what about dedicated server? powers seem to always be on?! anyway to turn them on/off when needed? like the same option to disable or enable admin or w/e rank you are?

Not really, you should have an admin account & do a regular player on the side, i meant this to avoid people in big servers having permissions and boosting their own character

Can we reverse course now?
Dr_Cox1911 Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 Either change this or that the admin account doesn't count towards the maximum account limit. Having this set to 2 to just be able to have an admin char and a normal char opens the server up for everybody creating a second char for looting and one main char for everything else like leveling.

Cory Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 Why so many, so open to cheating and server bashing ?? With all the power given, waiting to see how many post up in later time that there server was taken over/ shut down by an angry Mod/player. (Manipulate whitelist, Change access level, See server options - Nope, just nope) Why not something easy: Helper/Observer: Basic use, kick, mute Answer tickets, Teleport to player Toggle- Can't be hit by players MoD: As above+, Can modify player stats in the player stats UI, Ban, Unban Can always join server (even if full) , Admin: Full power. can not be kicked, banned Smoggy 1
Bam4000 Posted January 8, 2022 Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) How do I make myself join the server without having stuff like god mode automatically enabled and the admin menu? Edited January 8, 2022 by Bam4000
AlexSledge Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 I could have missed it, but how do you set someone back to ye olde basic player?
AlexSledge Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 Just in case anyone comes here in the future.... setaccesslevel "NAME" none Wow, Feb 9 seems so long ago. ManoGihl and Fixoo 2
WCC_Admin Posted April 23, 2023 Posted April 23, 2023 I'd love to delegate privileges to users, but even Observer gives way too much. This lets them change sandbox settings? Way too much power. I'd like to let some users have the brush tool without any other "moderator" type access. These are people who are just really invested in the server and want to build beyond what's allowed w/o admin tools. Some users should be able to mute/kick/ban. These players would probably also be able to remove cars. These would be "moderator" type players that could handle stuff in my absence, but this group is too large to give all privileges. They'd also be able to reset passwords and modify safehouses. I wouldn't want to give everyone above the ability to spawn items or enable god/invisible modes. That would just be me and maybe a few other very trusted admins. I wouldn't want to give these users the ability to remove or change my super admin account. I don't want anyone but me changing settings. Having a bunch of permissions that could be assigned to made up roles, which users could be put into, would be a nice modification of the existing paradigm.
Konrad Knox Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 I need a version of an Overseer that does not see player connection info, but all the other abilities are good, like create horde, nightlength modifier, stat modify, server message. Is there a file somewhere that lets us edit it to create custom roles? To assign permissions selectively and create a new, in-between accesslevel? Or at least shuffle permissions around, from Overseer to Moderator. It seems like creating hordes and changing night length or player stats, at least to me, are still, like, narrative game-based gamemastery powers, where as seeing players connection information is crossing more into administrator powers, and the Overseer is a weird bleed of the two, but I need a gamemaster who has all the game/environment changing powers, but not "finding out who real life players of the characters are" powers. Can't be that uncommon.
andeandee Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Quote Can always join the server (even when it's full). Is it just me, or did I miss something, sir? I can't join the server using the admin's username (not the actual username admin, but the username that I set access level as admin).
