Permissions - Redutzu Docs

Permissions decide what an officer can do once the MDT is open. They’re set per job and per grade, and saved in config/permissions.json.

How access works

Two checks decide what an officer can do. Both must pass.

Whitelist: the officer’s job must be whitelisted. Without it, the MDT doesn’t open. See Departments.
Permission: the officer’s grade must have the permission for the action, such as incidents.create to file an incident.

A whitelisted job with no permissions opens the MDT, but nothing in it unlocks.

Duty is a separate setting. With Config.RequireDuty on, officers must be on duty to open the MDT. It doesn’t change which permissions a grade has.

Grades inherit permissions

A permission applies to its grade and every grade above it. You never repeat a permission on higher grades.

config/permissions.json

{
    "police": {
        "0": ["dashboard.view", "incidents.view", "incidents.create"],
        "1": ["incidents.delete"],
        "4": ["management.view", "management.permissions"]
    }
}

Grade	Create incidents	Delete incidents	Open Management
`0`	Yes	No	No
`1`	Yes	Yes	No
`3`	Yes	Yes	No
`4`	Yes	Yes	Yes

Put each permission on the lowest grade that should have it. Grade 3 above has no list of its own and still inherits everything below it.

Edit permissions

Pick the method that suits you. All three write to the same config/permissions.json, and changes made in game apply instantly.

Admin panel
Management page
File

Server admins can edit every job, without needing a job themselves.

Open the admin panel

Run /mdtadmin in game and open Permissions.

Pick a job

Choose the job you want to edit. Only whitelisted jobs are listed.

Set the lowest grade

For each permission, choose the lowest grade that gets it. Higher grades inherit it automatically.

Permissions section of the admin panel with a job selected — Editing a job's permissions in the admin panel

Department leaders can edit their own job from inside the MDT.

Open Management

Open the MDT and go to Management, then the Permissions tab. You need management.permissions.

Set the lowest grade

For each permission, choose the lowest grade that gets it.

Management page in the MDT with the Permissions tab open — The Permissions tab on the Management page

Officers with management.permissions.all can also edit other departments.

Edit config/permissions.json and restart the resource.To apply the change without a restart, call ReloadPermissions from the server console or another resource.

The file must stay valid JSON. A missing or trailing comma stops all permissions from loading.

Add a new job

When you whitelist a job in Access in the admin panel, you can copy the permissions of an existing job as a starting point. Then fine-tune them in Permissions. To do it by hand, add the job to Config.WhitelistedJobs, then copy the police block in config/permissions.json and rename it. The grade numbers must match the job’s grades in your framework.

config/permissions.json

{
    "police": { "0": ["dashboard.view", "incidents.view"] },
    "sheriff": { "0": ["dashboard.view", "incidents.view"] }
}

Your own permissions

A permission is just a string. Your own pages and scripts can use new ones, such as wiki.view.

Add it to a grade in config/permissions.json, like any built-in permission. The in-game editors only list built-in permissions.
Use your own prefix, such as myplugin.view, so it never clashes with a built-in permission.

To check a permission from your own server script, use HasAccess. It checks the whitelist and the permission together.

server.lua

local allowed = exports['redutzu-mdt']:HasAccess(source, 'myplugin.view', { duty = true })
