This morning two players ZakeTheEagle 76561199088810220 and JerTheLion 76561199048448457 came in and destroyed over 24 hours of work on my new server "Island Paradise". I had asked about how to set up the protection settings with the F9 "protection" but no one seems to know or wants to help me out. I'm really upset that people would come on just to destroy peoples work. These two obviously are created second accounts just for malicious activity.

F9 Protection How do you set permissions??

sorry to hear that happen. what exactly do you need to know? i see you have an area created, are you just having problems with the area and group permissions?

ive added 2 permissions files. put them in your area permissions folders. after you make an area with F9 press 2 and look at the area and hold right mouse button. i the radial menu select set default permission and set it to the guest permission. for each player you want to allow to modify the area select add player and assign them to the owner permission. you may need to modify the permissions to your liking. feel free to start a conversation here if you ever need help.

Thank you James.

I assigned a player their own area and set the permissions to "Owner". However someone named jeim 76561198336041209 came in and destroyed his buildings and terrain. In the logs it said he used explosives. Server is set to "survival" and creative mode should not work.

Well a new player sent me an email to protect her plot and told me the game is in Creative mode. In the server settings i have it listed as "survival". When the server loads up, I wish it would inform the mode. I guess this is how that player was able to destroy things.

what do you have in the settings for Permissions_DefaultNewPlayerPermissionGroup= ?

It is blank. Should that be Survival?

with it blank players are not assigned any permissions. download Pve.json and put it in the permissions/groups directory. then set the Permissions_DefaultNewPlayerPermissionGroup=PvE.
any players that have already been on the server you will have run the command setplayergroup playername Pve

ok I did that and it looks like it is working. However, is there a way to add offline players to the protected areas? I forgot to add the player first before assigning the "Owners" permission and it lists only players online when I want to add the real owner.

not that im aware of

I think there's a small error here; the default permissions for an area apply to everyone who enters it. This permission should be "guest."
The player receives their permissions when added to the area, and only then is "owner" selected.
