The security tab on the MUDGrinder Control Panel contains ini settings for controlling various options and authorities on the MUD.

Control Panel Settings

• SysopMask - This option defines what types of people are considered sysops. It supports full ZapperMask settings, so the sysop mask could be set to individual names, a class, a gender, or any other zappermask.
• WizListMask - This option defines which types of players can view the WIZ channel.
• MaxConnsPerIP - This is the maximum number of connections allowed from a single IP address.
• MaxNewPerIP - Each IP address is limited to this number of new characters per day.

Security Groups

These settings allow an individual character to have a limited set of archon abilities defined within the group parameter. The Official CoffeeMUD uses the following groups:

Adding Security Groups

Additional groups can be added to or removed from the ini or Control Panel. Remember that the name of the group is the part AFTER the word "GROUP_". So, for example, the name of the group defined by the entry GROUP_SUBOP is actually SUBOP. New Security Groups should all have the prefix of "GROUP_".

See the Security page, the Archon's Guide security section or use the HELP SECURITY command for more details on security privileges.

Other Security Settings

Security settings can also be managed in the command line.

Notes

• When granting questmaking access via QUESTMASTERS, you also need to add some write privileges to a folder for the questmasters, such as VFS:RESOURCES/QUESTS or a subfolder of that.
• When granting VFS privileges to builders, make sure there is at least one file in their granted folder.
