Giving specific server permissions to a group

[Tjardoftw]

Hi,

My Minecraft server has multiple “projectleaders”, each of them has got one server on my VPS. I have created for each projectleader an account. My question is: how do I give a specific user in a specific group (for example group: “factions”) permissions for console, ftp, controlpanel for just 1 server instead of all the servers I own. I don’t want them to edit other servers, just the server which they are controlling.

Thanks if someone can help me,

If it is really hard to explain, you can also add me on skype, username: xsipo1

It’s pretty easy actually; you have usernames and groups.

I made 3 servers. I have staff who helps me with my servers. Staffs are in 2 groups, root(head staff who i trust the most) and admins( limited permissions) group root can all see those servers but Admins group cannot see. How cann i allow Admins group to see server owned by root group ?

@hexparrot

Admins and root are two separate groups so admins would never really be able to see root-owned groups, at least not the way Linux is designed.

But what you’re trying to accomplish actually works the reverse way: the people who you want to see all of them should be given their own group and then assigned supplementary groups admins and root.

So, user will should be of group will. will should also be groups to admins and root (because you can totally trust that guy).

And user Eve should be of group eve and additionally of group admins. This way she has access to any of her own servers, and then also any group owned by admins (and no access to root-owned groups).

Something like this would accomplish it:

usermod -G admins will
usermod -G root will
usermod -G admins Eve

Thanks, but how do I add those limited permissions?
I have got the groups: root & minecraft. Both can see every server.

@Tjardoftw

how do I add those limited permissions

MineOS relies on Tunrkey’s (linux) user management system: An Introduction to Linux Permissions | DigitalOcean

I understand that, but don’t know which files contains the access for a specific server.

[iMelsom]

/var/games/minecraft/server/

Each sub directory in that location contains exactly one server. Currently theny should all be owned by your minecraft user and group. If you change the group and user ownership of each of those, they will only be visible to the person owning, or being a member of the group owning, the directory will only be visible in the webui to its relevant users.

the root user will always se everything allways, but the root user should only be used for operating systems usage: As in upgrading the OS or upgrading MineOS. Mos other tasks that require elevated priviledges only needs “sudo” priviledges.

All of this information is available in the wiki, the forums, and by reading up on user management (as from the link I gave you).
