Allow group/user to set channel permissions

[Westingham]

Solution can be found in Post 35


----- original post below -----

Channel admin channelgroup has the following powers:

i_channel_modify_power 50 grant 50
i_channel_permission_modify_power 50 grant 50
i_channel_needed_permission_modify_power 50 grant 50

Channel "test" has the follow setup:
i_channel_needed_modify power 50
i_channel_needed_delete power 60
i_channel_needed_permission_modify power 50

But every time a channel admin tries to change the subscribe power, the error "insufficient permission modify power" is given.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello

Please take a look at this thread : Permissions-system-quot-First-aid-quot-kit

I looked through your post and found it informative but it doesn't appear to solve my problem.

Here's the permissions overview with everything related to permission_modify powers.

Server Groups
	Normal (7)
		i_client_needed_permission_modify_power 60 0 0
	All
		i_client_needed_permission_modify_power 60 0 0
Client
Channel
	test
		i_channel_needed_permission_modify_power 50
		i_channel_needed_modify_power 50
		i_channel_needed_delete_power 60
		i_channel_needed_subscribe_power 50
Channel Groups
	Channel Admin (5)
		i_channel_permission_modify_power 50   50
		i_channel_needed_permission_modify_power 50   50
Channel Client
All
	i_channel_permission_modify_power 50 0 0 50
	i_channel_needed_permission_modify_power 50 0 0 50
	i_client_needed_permission_modify_power 60 0 0

So, when you get this error message, you have to check the Grant value (not the value column but the value for the Grant column) from the permission that you try to modify.

It just means that there is no Grant value or this one is greater than the i_permission_modify_power permission

In your case, you try to modify the needed_subscribe_power.
So you have to set the Grant value of this permission (50 for you) and the i_permission_modify_power (value=50)

But of course that depends of your entire permission system. So if you still get the problem, please post the entire Permission Overview.

Ah-ha! That solved my issue, thank you very much.

I am, however, running into another problem.

Server Admin server group has permission levels of 75 and grant levels of 75 on just about everything. Recently we've discovered that people in that server group cannot modify i_channel_needed_join_power; based on our discussion, I checked and sure enough they're lacking i_channel_needed_join_power BUT I cannot modify that value as I get the same error message of "insufficient permission modify power". At the same time, I've looked over everything and I should be able to change that value!

I've attached the overview to this post, I hope you can help me figure this one out.

[florian_fr40]

This is exactly the same case.
You can't because, the i_channel_needed_join_power has no Grant value.

If it's a rented server you have to ask to your hoster.
If you are the owner, you have all informations in the second part of the First-aid-kit thread (link in my first post)

I'm hosting my Teamspeak Server on a CentOS dedicated Server I own. I'm kind of messing around with the permissions.

Recently, I have been reported that my fellow Admin(s) cannot modify channel permissions. The Server Group "Administrator" has "Channel Modify Power" 70 and "Channel Permission Modify Power" 70. I checked all channels, and found that their "Needed Permission Modify Power" was 75. I (Root) modified all of them to 70, but my Admin(s) still cannot modify the permissions (they can, tho, edit name and description).

What am I missing?

ty for reading

Scenario:
1. Guest creates channel (therefore channel's "Needed Modify Power" is 0)
2. Guest becomes Channel Op
3. Channel Op opens channel properties and tries to modify subscribe power

Result:
Channel Properties -> Permissions: Error applying permissions.
Chat: insufficient permission modify power

I have read Permissions system - "First-aid" kit and other threads with similar issues.
I'd think I applied all the knowledge to be found in those threads (missing Needed x Grant being the most common issue):
- Channel Op has "Channel (Permission) Modify Power" of 50 (same with most other "Channel x Power")
- Channel Op has "Needed Channel Subscribe Power" Grant value of 50 (same with most other "Needed Channel x Power" Grant values)

This is the permission overview for given Channel Op in his own test channel:

After hours of trying I finally found that ts3 does not give a damn about the "Channel Permission Modify Power". It instead compares "Permission Modify Power" found in the groups config. Is this intended or a bug? Isn't the group's "Permission Modify Power" intended for checks against group permissions? And what is "Channel Permission Modify Power" for then?

[dante696]

You miss the detail that your group is not allowed to modify any permissions on the server.
Does not matter if they try in a channel, or a user or group.

1. i_channel_needed_modify_power is the check if a user is allowed to edit anything on your channel at all. It's checked against users i_channel_modify_power.

Now all permissions under Channel -> Modify allow/restrict if a user can edit details (not permissions) in target channel

2. i_channel_needed_permission_modify_power is the check if the user is able to modify any permission in the server. It's comapred against i_channel_permission_modify_power.

You need to add a grant value by the channel permissions that start with "Needed" and the grant value has to be what ever their "Permission Modify Power" is. So if they have a Permission Modify Power of 70 you would add a grant value of 70 to permissions like "Needed Channel Join Power" so that they now have permission to modify that permission. Also check your existing channels permissions by right-clicking the channel and clicking "Channel Permissions" because if who ever created them had more power than these other people, the channels won't let people modify the permissions if their "Channel Permission Modify" power is too low. So in that case you would lower the Needed version of that on all your existing channels that you want them to be able to alter permissions on.

I want to give a certain group to modify channel permissions tab. Can't find how can I do that.

Hello.

I have a little problem. Operators of my TeamSpeak server can not change the permissions of channels. To be more specific, I would like them to change permission to join, that is to say the change from 0 to 30. But they can not do it and an error message appears. I think this is linked to the fact that they can not see the button "channel permission" when they right-click on a channel.

thank you beforehand

[dante696]

Your group needs
1. i_channel_permission_modify_power and a i_permission_modify_power with value X
2. Grant Value of X (equal their i_channel_permission_modify_power) on permission i_channel_needed_join_power
3. Must have advanced permissions enabled http://forum.teamspeak.com/threads/6...light=advanced

But you can't restrict the max value for needed join power.

Hi everyone, I'm quite experienced with Teamspeak and I've been setting up servers for the past couple of years but I keep having one issue that constantly keeps reoccuring, sometimes I suddenly create a fix, but am unaware of how myself, so I decided to come here to ask for assistance.
I've looked in to several topics with the same issues (Didn't save the links, sorry.) Followed the steps (adding grant permissions, adding this, removing that, etc) they seemed to work for others but sadly it didn't appear to be the case for me.

So let me tell you guys what's wrong.

So I am setting up a teamspeak server for a friend, everything going great, no issues, took me about an hour and a half to have all channels and groups set up. But we use Join permission, as one (1) for all channels, that way guests can't join certain channels.

Now I have two groups, Lead Administrator, and Senior Administrator, that should be able to set the join permission required for channels.
But every time I anyone with the rank tries to edit the join channel permission, or any permission in the channel permission section for that case, they get an error.


Now I've looked in to the permissions and it appears they're all set up, I even looked in to the channels with the server query and they all appear to have 75 required permission modify power.
(screen with permissions below)


I've been fiddeling around for two hours now, longer than I needed to set up the server but with no success yet, so I hope someone here is able to help me.


So just in a TL;DR
i_channel_permission_modify_power is set to 75
i_channel_modify_power is set to 75
i_channel_needed_permission_modify_power grant permission is set to 75
Server does not let me edit the channel permissions from the two groups.


EDIT: When I try to edit the 'modify' permission in a channel it does work, rest of the permissions does not.

Best regards,

Afterpwn.

As I repeat over and over again.
No Grant Value = You can not assign, remove or change target permissions.

I do not see any Grant value on the desired permissions set in your Screenshot.
