Admin Menu Ranks and Permissions for FiveM

How to make someone staff in STG Admin Menu, with permanent admins in the config or ranks given in game, and what each rank may do.

A player is staff when one of their identifiers has a rank. There are two ways to give one: Config.Admins in stg-admin/config.lua, or the Rank Management tab in game. Both are saved in the stg_admin table. Framework groups and ACE permissions are not read, so a player only gets into the menu through one of these two.

Permanent admins

Config.Admins = {
    {
        id = "license:YOUR_LICENSE",
        rank = "god",
    },
    {
        id = "discord:YOUR_DISCORD_ID",
        rank = "admin",
    },
}

Prop

Type

The list is read when the resource starts. A new entry is added to the database, and an entry you delete from the list is removed from the database on the next start. Permanent admins cannot be removed from the menu, only from this list.

Changing the rank of an entry that is already saved does not update it. Remove the entry, restart the resource, then add it back with the new rank and restart again.

Put at least one god here, since only god can hand out ranks in game. You can find a player's identifiers in txAdmin, in the player's info window.

Ranks given in game

Staff with the god rank can manage other staff from the Rank Management tab:

Press Rank Add To Player, enter the rank key (for example admin or moderator) and the player's server id. The player must be online.

The rank is saved under the player's license: identifier, so it stays after a restart. If the player had the menu open, it closes and they open it again with their new rank.

To change someone's rank, select them in the admin list, press Remove Rank From Player, then give the new rank. A player who already has a rank cannot get a second one.

Nobody can remove their own rank, and permanent admins from Config.Admins cannot be removed here.

What only god can do

The god rank key is special, whatever you set in its perms:

Give and remove ranks in Rank Management.
Run commands in the Live Console. Commands run on the server console, so they can do anything the console can.

Keep the key god for your owners. You can change its label.

Rank permissions

Config.Permissions = {
    ["god"] = {
        label = "God",

        perms = {
            dashboard = {
                announcement = true,
                -- ...
            },
            players = {
                revive = true,
                -- ...
            },
            -- ...
        }
    },
    -- ...
}

Each rank has a label, shown in the menu, and a perms table with one switch per button. Set a switch to false, or leave it out, and that rank gets a no permission message when they press the button. Every action is also refused while the staff member is off duty.

The player entry has no perms and is the label shown for players without a rank. Keep it in the list.

Adding a rank

Copy a rank block in Config.Permissions, give it a new key (for example ["helper"]) and a label.

Set each switch in its perms to true or false.

Restart the resource, then give the rank in Config.Admins or from the Rank Management tab.

A changed label is updated for every saved staff member when the resource starts.
