SQL use

Hi,
There's no automatic live synchronisation I.E. You can't change a permission/group on one server and automatically see that change on other servers,
but you can export your permissions, or groups, to local data file or SQL, then import that data in on your other server.

It's all handled in the `/perms data` menu in-game.

 

In the case of using local data file you do have to manually move that, like
Server A : Save to local file
copy /data/PermissionsManager.json to Server B
Server B : Load from local file

In the case of using SQL you just make sure both servers are connected with the same credentials (in config file) then
Server A : Save to SQL
Server B : Load from SQL.

If you're new to SQL + Rust plugins I'd probably just go with the data file option because less can go wrong.

When you do your save to local on the first server, I'd recommend taking a backup of that /data/PermissionsManager.json file.
No reason to expect problems but a backup never hurt anyone.

My pleasure.
Let me know if you run in to any trouble.

Hi @ZEODE
I think I covered it pretty well a few posts back? Go in to the /perms data menu and you'll see the options there.

You have the option to save permissions, or groups, or both, to SQL,
and the option to load the same from SQL.

Nothing about it is automated - You'd have to go in to the /perms data menu and tell it to save, or load.

 

Note if you're loading perms/groups from a backup, it doesn't wipe the server's existing groups + perms clean.
It just creates groups that exist in the backup and grants them the permissions from the backup, and/or grants permissions to players from the backup,
