How to grant Oxide permissions

How do I give myself permissions to use oxide/umod mods in Rust? Well, this stage in Rust modding can become fairly difficult when using multiple mods, however here is a simple guide to giving yourself access in game to these mods!

For the purpose of this guide, we will be using the popular mod, Instant Smelt: https://umod.org/plugins/instant-smelt

Most Rust plugins will require you to give yourself a permission in order to use, or set it up. You will also need to give your players permission depending on the mod. To find out what you need to do, go to the umod page of the mod you are having trouble with. In this case, we will be going over Instant Smelt.

When looking at instant smelt, we see a category called ‘Permissions’. This is the information you need in order to grant yourself permission. As you can see at the top of the page, the permission for this mod is: ‘instantsmelt.use‘.

Great! Once we know what the information is you are ready to start building the permission. We need to essentially, ask oxide/umod to give us the permission A great way to remember how to enter a permission is:

 

‘oxide.grant’

 

This is the first step in the permission, and is the oxide command used for giving yourself permission to use mods. Now, we need to think about who we want to give the permission to.

 

Are we wanting to give this permission to a single person? Or to a group of people? For a single person, we would write ‘user’, and for a group, we would simply write ‘group’. If you need to know how to create a group on Rust, please follow this simple guide on [creating a group on Rust]. In this case, we will be giving it to ourselves:

 

‘oxide.grant user’

 

For a group, it would simply be:

 

‘oxide.grant group’

 

Now, we need to send the permission directly to the player we want to give the permission to. For this, you will need the Steam64ID of yourself or the player you wish to give the permission to. To find this out if you dont know how, follow this simple guide on finding my Steam64ID.

 

Now that we have our Steam64ID, we add this to the permission:

 

‘oxide.grant user <STEAM64ID>’

 

An example of what this should look like is:

 

oxide.grant user 742433247820

 

Now that we have the steam64ID, all we need to do is add on the mod permission we found at the beginning, to the end!

 

‘oxide.grant user 742433247820 instantsmelt.use’

 

That is the full permission complete, and now can be entered in either the RCON console via TCAdmin, or the easiest way in game using the F1 console. No need to restart the server, the permissions are instant. This will now allow you to use and alter the plugin on your server! You do however need to be an Admin of the server to grant permissions.

 

If you want to give this permission to a group of people, all you need to do is instead of putting your Steam64ID in, put the group name in. Anyone in Auth level 0 on the server is automatically assigned to a group called ‘default’ so an example of this would be:

 

‘oxide.grant group default instantsmelt.use’

 

However, most plugins will work straight away, and you would only need to give the owner permission so they can edit its usage in game!

 

Please refer back to these if you ever get stuck:

 

FOR A SINGLE USER:

 

oxide.grant <User> <STEAM64ID> <Mod Permission>

 

FOR A GROUP OF PLAYERS:

 

oxide.grant <Group> <Group name> <Mod Permission>
