Rust Permissions Explained: oxide.grant, c.grant and Groups

Almost every Rust plugin checks a permission before it does anything for a player. Oxide (uMod) and Carbon handle permissions the same way, with slightly different command names.

Users, groups and permissions

• A permission is a name a plugin registers, such as sonar.use. It always starts with the plugin's name.
• A group is a set of permissions. Two exist out of the box: default, which every player is in, and admin, for players with admin rights on the server.
• A user is one player, by name or Steam ID. A player has a permission if it was granted to them directly or to any group they are in.

Grant to groups wherever you can. It is easier to see who can do what, and a new player picks up everything in default the moment they join.

The commands

Run these in the server console or over RCON. On Oxide:

oxide.grant group default sonar.use
oxide.grant user <name or SteamID> sonar.use
oxide.revoke group default sonar.use
oxide.group add vip
oxide.usergroup add <name or SteamID> vip
oxide.usergroup remove <name or SteamID> vip

o. is short for oxide.: o.grant group default sonar.use is the same command.

On Carbon, the same commands start with c. (c.grant, c.revoke, c.group, c.usergroup), and Carbon also accepts the oxide. and o. forms, so scripts written for Oxide keep working.

To see what someone has on Oxide, oxide.show user <name> lists a player's groups and permissions, and oxide.show perm sonar.use lists everyone who has one.

Wildcards

Oxide accepts a wildcard at the end: oxide.grant group admin ziplines.* grants every ziplines. permission at once. It is handy for admins, but be careful with default: a wildcard also grants permissions a plugin adds in a later version.

A VIP group

1. oxide.group add vip
2. Grant the group its extras: oxide.grant group vip ziplines.unlimited
3. Add each VIP: oxide.usergroup add <steamid> vip

VIPs keep everything in default as well, since every player stays in default.

Doing it in game

Typing permission names is slow and easy to get wrong. Perms opens a panel of every loaded plugin's permissions, with a switch for each group or player, and a Settings tab that edits a plugin's config in game.
