Web UI

[zml2008]

Create an interface outside of the game that can be used to inspect permissions engine status as well as modify permissions data.

General

• Can be run from an in-game server, or standalone
• Lightweight -- minimal server requirements
• Inline documentation -- users can access help
• secondary: mobile support
• separate authentication for webui that can inherit from ingame users (using existing perms engine)

Inspect

• Log of permissions checks
• Context visualizer - what order combinations are checked in, how context inheritance is applied, etc
• Inheritance visualizer - in which contexts, plus rank ladders
• Query permission in any context set for any subject -- and show what specific set of options is causing the permission value to be matched

Modify

• bulk edits
• completion

Until this is added into PermissionsEx you can use my web ui which is designed to edit the permissions.yml in a very simple way. http://permedit.totalh.net/ if you want to see the source, there's a GitHub repo for it https://github.com/EsaiasTilly/PermEdit

@EsaiasTilly How is that useful to anyone? That only edits PEX 1.x files, and that version of the plugin has been dead for years.

@zml2008 Hi, sorry for that, this works with the version of PEX that both me and my friends are using, so I just thought that I would share it if it could help anyone else. I’m very sorry if this offended you, at least that’s how your reaction sounded to me. God bless you!

please. I push this. What would also be a good idea is merging with Aeturnum Industries Pex which has developed quite a lot being really quite far ahead.
