Permissions

Configure Street Signs permissions for ACE, standalone, QBCore, or ESX.

Street Signs supports four permission modes:

• ace
• standalone
• qb
• esx

Set the mode in config.lua:

Config.PermissionMode = 'ace'

ACE Permissions

When using ACE mode, Street Signs checks the ACE objects defined in Config.AcePermissions.

Default values:

Config.AcePermissions = {
    edit = 'sonoran.signs.edit',
    create = 'sonoran.signs.create',
    delete = 'sonoran.signs.delete',
    admin = 'sonoran.signs.admin'
}

Example server.cfg setup:

add_ace group.admin sonoran.signs.admin allow
add_ace group.admin sonoran.signs.create allow
add_ace group.admin sonoran.signs.edit allow
add_ace group.admin sonoran.signs.delete allow

Recommended simplified setup:

add_ace group.admin sonoran.signs.admin allow

The admin ACE acts as a full bypass for Street Signs admin functionality.

Standalone Permissions

Standalone mode uses player identifiers stored in:

Config.StandaloneAllowed = {}

Example:

Config.StandaloneAllowed = {
    ['license:abc123'] = true,
    ['license:def456'] = true
}

Behavior in standalone mode:

• Allowed identifiers can create signs
• Allowed identifiers can delete signs
• Allowed identifiers can use admin tools
• A sign creator can edit their own sign
• Allowed identifiers can also edit any sign

QBCore Permissions

QBCore mode uses the player's job and grade.

Example:

Config.PermissionMode = 'qb'

Config.QBJobs = {
    police = 3,
    dot = {0, 2},
    admin = 0
}

How grade rules work:

• A single number means that grade or higher
• A table means exact allowed grades only

Examples:

• police = 3 means grade 3 or higher
• dot = {0, 2} means only grades 0 or 2

ESX Permissions

ESX mode also uses job and grade values.

Example:

Config.PermissionMode = 'esx'

Config.ESXJobs = {
    police = 3,
    mechanic = {1, 2, 4}
}

This follows the same rule style as QBCore:

• A number means minimum grade
• A table means exact allowed grades

What Each Permission Controls

Create

Allows a user to place new signs using commands or supported creation flows.

Edit

Allows a user to edit a sign's content.

In standalone mode, the original sign creator can edit their own sign even if they are not globally allowed to manage every sign.

Delete

Allows a user to remove signs.

Admin

Allows use of Street Signs admin tools and acts as a full bypass for the normal create, edit, and delete checks.

In-World Editor Access

Players can open a nearby sign by walking up to it and pressing E, but Street Signs still validates edit access before the editor is allowed to open.

This means:

• Being near a sign is not enough by itself
• The server still checks whether the player is allowed to edit that sign

Admin Tools

The full controller and some management tools are restricted to administrative access.

If a player needs access to:

• /signcontroller
• /signlist
• /signrefresh

they should have admin-level access in the mode you selected.
