# Setup Ace Permissions

In your `server.cfg` or your permissions file place the following line(s) of code. It's helpful if you have a lot of permissions, to make a `perms.cfg` file to keep everything neat and organized. If you are making a `perms.cfg` file make sure you add the following line above your first ensured script of your `server.cfg`

Example:

```properties
exec perms.cfg
ensure mapmanager
```

## **Adding Ace Permissions for Resources:**

`add_ace resource.ResoureceName command.add_principal allow`

`add_ace resource.ResoureceName command.remove_principal allow`

*Example:*

`add_ace resource.AcePerms command.add_principal allow` 

`add_ace resource.AcePerms command.remove_principal allow`

This will give the resource `AcePerms` the ability to add & remove permissions 

## **Adding Ace Permissions for Groups**

 `add_ace group.Name PermissionName allow` 

*Example:* `add_ace group.god NLRP.Weather allow`     

So everyone with `group.god` will receive the `NLRP.Weather` Permission

Be careful with giving out permissions like `add_ace group.group NLRP allow` because everyone with `group.god` will receive **ALL** of the `NLRP` permissions that you have set.  This is very helpful for owners / high management members so you do not have to type out every single permission multiple times.

## Adding Groups to Groups

Instead of giving a permission to every single group that someone would typically have. Give the higher group the lower group. This is great for staff ranks. Lets say you give permissions to `group.mod` so instead of having to set the same permission for `group.admin` you could do the following `add_principal group.admin group.mod`

This will give `group.admin` all of `group.mod'`s permissions without having to set them all again

## Recommended (Optional)

If you are using our permissions by default I highly suggest putting the following permissions. This will allow everyone by default to have access to `NLRP.Everyone` this is a permission we use to give out certain features within our scripts. For example viewing the weather panel. 

`add_ace builtin.everyone NLRP.Everyone allow`
