Development / User permissions/groups

« on: December 05, 2010, 02:30:20 pm »

Hi.
I want to work on a permission system. Talked to ReDucTor about it on irc.
The idea was to have a certain amount of permissions/groups built-in with the option to allow custom permissions. The reason for the built-in permissions is speed, since we can use a simple bitmask for it and have a special bit be set for any custom permissions, which will then take a slow path for acessing/checking those. The reason is that permissions will most likely be checked on blocks being placed/destroyed etc. so having good performance there is essential for the common cases.

My question now is: Which permissions/groups should be provide built-in to the server?

Some suggestions: Guest (can't build/destroy things, just walk around and chat), Member (can build & destroy, chat), Operator (can teleport self & others, chat, give items, change user permissions up to Operator, kick, ban etc.), Admin (same as Operator as well as stop, start & reload server, change user permissions up to Admin, motd, etc.)
