Interface PermissionDescription

  • public interface PermissionDescription
    A description object for permissions.

    The description is meant to provide human readable descriptions and metadata for a permission, and a central point for the plugin registering each permission.

    Descriptions are primarily informational, but some default value information may be provided here.

    Instances can be built using PermissionService.newDescriptionBuilder(PluginContainer).

    • Field Detail

      • ROLE_USER

        static final String ROLE_USER
        The standard role for users.

        The user role should be assigned to permissions where everyone should have basic access. For example: joining in an arena.

        See Also:
        Constant Field Values

      • ROLE_STAFF

        static final String ROLE_STAFF
        The standard role for staff.

        The staff role should be assigned to permissions only meant for users with elevated access permissions. For example: force start an arena.

        Constant Field Values

      • ROLE_ADMIN

        static final String ROLE_ADMIN
        The standard role for admins.

        The admin role should be assigned to permissions only meant for users with full access to administrate the server. For example: setup an arena.

    • Method Detail

      • id

        String id()
        Gets the permission id this description belongs to.

        The permission id must be of the specified format as specified using EBNF:

        • CHARACTER = "A" - "Z" | "a" - "z" | "0" - "9" | "_" | "-"
        • NAME = CHARACTER , { CHARACTER }
        • TEMPLATE = "<" , NAME , ">"
        • PERMISSION = NAME , { "." , NAME }, {".", TEMPLATE}

        The following examples shall help you to structure your permissions well:

        • "myplugin" - Grants everything in myPlugin
        • "myplugin.give" - Grants everything related to give including all ItemTypes and Enchantments
        • "myplugin.give.execute" - Allows the execution of give
        • "myplugin.give.type" - Grants all ItemTypes
        • "myplugin.give.type.<item-type>" - A template should not be granted to anybody
        • "myplugin.give.type.minecraft.diamond" - Only grants minecraft:diamond
        • "myplugin.give.enchantment" - Grants all Enchantments
        • "myplugin.give.others" - Allow giving to other players
        The addition of the "execute" permission instead of just "myPlugin.give" permission is useful to prevent unauthorized access to sub-permissions that are not documented or have been added lately.

        So if you want to allow someone to give themself only DIAMONDs, you would assign them the following permissions:

        • "myplugin.give.execute"
        • "myplugin.give.type.minecraft.diamond"

        Note: Permission ids are case insensitive! If permission ids do not start with the plugin ID, implementations will prepend the plugin ID (so command.give will turn into myplugin.command.give)

        Returns:
        The permission id

      • description

        Optional<Component> description()
        Gets a short description of the linked permission.

        May include a link to a more detailed description on the plugin's web page.

        Will return an empty optional for descriptions which have been automatically generated, or where a description was omitted when the PermissionDescription was created.

        Returns:
        A short description of the linked permission

      • owner

        Optional<org.spongepowered.plugin.PluginContainer> owner()
        Gets the owning plugin the permission belongs to.

        Will return an empty optional for descriptions which have been automatically generated.

        Returns:
        The owning plugin the permission belongs to

      • defaultValue
