Permissions

Grant admin access so commands like /setboss, /jail, and /jobconfig work in your framework.

Admin command not working? Make sure the bootstrap ACEs are present in your server.cfg and your player is in group.admin. Sky now wires every per-command permission to ACE automatically — no more Sky.Config.AdminGroups.

How Sky checks command permissions

Every Police-specific admin command (/jail, /unjail, /adminremovesocialwork, and the creator commands) is gated by Config.CommandPermissions in the job's config. At server start, sky_base grants two ACE objects per command and group: command.<command> for FiveM's restricted command gate and sky_policejob.<command> for the resource's runtime permission check.

sky_policejob/config/config.lua

Config.CommandPermissions = {
    stationcreator        = { "god", "superadmin", "admin" },
    jailcreator           = { "god", "superadmin", "admin" },
    socialworkcreator     = { "god", "superadmin", "admin" },
    adminremovesocialwork = { "god", "superadmin", "admin" },
    jail                  = { "god", "superadmin", "admin" },
    unjail                = { "god", "superadmin", "admin" },
}

The shared /jobconfig, /setboss, /admincuff, and /adminuncuff commands are configured separately through their matching entries in Config.CommandPermissions inside sky_jobs_base/config/config.lua. See the Jobs Base command reference.

For the snippet above, sky_base runs at boot:

add_ace group.god command.jail allow
add_ace group.god sky_policejob.jail allow
… both objects for every configured command and group

On QBCore, sky_base additionally wires the qbcore.<group> principal for resilience. FiveM checks the native command object first; protected resource logic then checks sky_policejob.<command>.

If a command is not listed in Config.CommandPermissions, only the server console can use it.

Framework setup

QBox (principal prefix: `group.`)

Add your admin player to group.admin:

server.cfg

add_principal identifier.license:<license> group.admin

Reference: Qbox txAdmin permissions recipe.

QBCore (principal prefix: `qbcore.` or `group.`)

sky_base wires both group.<g> and qbcore.<g> on QBCore, so either prefix works:

server.cfg

add_principal identifier.license:<license> qbcore.admin

Or, if an existing admin is already online:

/addpermission 1 god

ESX Legacy (`users.group`)

ESX's setGroup automatically calls add_principal identifier.<license> group.<g> via es_extended, so ESX players get the same ACE principal as QBox/QBCore. Grant the group in-game:

/setgroup 1 admin

References: ESX /setgroup, ESX principals.

vRP

Set the player's group via your vRP admin tooling, then ensure the group.<g> principal is registered (vRP setups commonly add this to server.cfg).

Custom groups

To allow another group (for example supporter) to use a single command, just add it to the relevant entry:

sky_policejob/config/config.lua

Config.CommandPermissions = {
    stationcreator = { "god", "superadmin", "admin", "supporter" },
    …
}

Then grant the player the principal the same way as above (e.g. add_principal identifier.license:<license> group.supporter), and restart sky_policejob so the new wiring runs.

Activating the boss menu with `/setboss`

Once your admin group is set, run /setboss to grant every permission to a specific job grade:

/setboss police 4
