ACE Permissions

FiveM Resource Development & Modding Discussion

How would I go about adding permissions to a specific resource only? Or is that possible?

You can always ask in the topic, Big chance Vespura can answer your questions.

Not really sure what you’re trying to do here?

Do you want to give your resource permissions to do something? or do you want to add “permissions”/aces to “principals” (players) so they can use something in your resource?

Basically add perms to a resource. Only given steam ID’s can use that resource.

what does the resource do exactly?
Is it a menu? do you use commands? do you interact with stuff in the world for it to work? Very basic example would be like this:

in server.cfg

add_ace identifier.steam:steamidhere "the.permission.name.you.want" allow

then in a server script:

if IsPlayerAceAllowed(playerSource, "the.permission.name.you.want") then
    -- do your code here
end

if you want this in a client script, use something like this at the top of your client file.

local allowedToUse = false
Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    TriggerServerEvent("<resourceName>.getIsAllowed")
end)

RegisterNetEvent("<resourceName>.returnIsAllowed")
AddEventHandler("<resourceName>.returnIsAllowed", function(isAllowed)
    allowedToUse = isAllowed
end)

-- In your resource, check "allowedToUse" whenever you want to "do" something that needs permissions, for example
if allowedToUse then
    -- do your cool code here
end

Server script:

RegisterServerEvent("<resourceName>.getIsAllowed")
AddEventHandler("<resourceName>.getIsAllowed", function(source)
    if IsPlayerAceAllowed(source, "the.permission.name.you.want") then
        TriggerClientEvent("<resourceName>.returnIsAllowed", source, true)
    else
        TriggerClientEvent("<resourceName>.returnIsAllowed", source, false)
    end
end)

Sorry, I need help. I would like to limit the / eup command, only to those in game is set “agent” and “policeman”, how do I do? The guide says:

to restrict this, replace, false with, true in the RegisterCommand in eup_ui.lua and give command.eup add_ace

I changed “false” to “true”, but I did not quite understand what he meant by “give command.eup add_ace”. I need help, please, thank you!

That’s not using ace permissions.

Add this somewhere in your server.cfg.

add_ace identifier.steam:<steam64 hex id> command.eup allow

Thanks so much! Instead of adding the steam ID hex, is there a way to add the group in the job category?

if you’re talking about principal groups, then yes, but if you’re talking about some resource/framework specific group then no.

No, I’m talking about general groups. I refer to those who are in game “agent” and “captain”

Then that’s a no. You can’t do that with aces/principals permissions.

I see. So there is no way, right?

Not with aces, you’ll have to seek support for whatever framework you’re using.

‘Frameworks’ should be adding principals for this, anyway, in an ideal case. :confused:

This does not work for me. Cant get the perms to work on client script.

Permissions don’t work client side, triggering events is the only way to sync permissions between server and client side. Like explained in that post that you quoted.
