    So if you browse the Bukkit Help section you can always find tons of "PermissionsEx Help!!!" posts so I deiced that I am going to make a basic PermissionsEx Tutorial here that will explain three of the most common things people want to do with PEX. Those things are:

    1. Setting up the permissions
    2. Setting people to groups
    3. Prefixes
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    So for #1
    Just use this link Here (http://www.wi-alliance.com/yamlhelper/)
    It basically formats the permissions you specify into Yaml
    all you then have to do is copy and paste:D
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    #2 Setting people to groups:
    Don't try this manually all you're going to do is mess stuff up.
    Just use this simple command in game or in the console

    /pex user {playerName} group set {groupName}

    playerName = The player you are changing the rank of.
    groupName = The group your are setting them to. (ex: Admin, Owner, Builder, VIP)

    Ex 2:
    /pex user Notch group set Admin
    Notch being the player
    Admin being the group
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    #3 Prefixes
    * **You Must be using ChatManager when trying to do this**
    Don't use this in your PermissionsEx 'permissions' file
    prefix: '&2[Admin]'
    just leave it as
    prefix: ' '

    Just use this command instead
    /pex group {groupName} set message-format "&2[Admin] &f%player: %message"

    Using the set-message format command adds for **Way** more customization like:
    /pex group Admins set message-format "&2[Admin] &4(Boss) &6%player&5: &8%message"

    **Make sure you add the quotation marks**
    **Also make sure you have ChatManger enabled (Disabled by default, turn it on in the ChatManger config)**

    Simple Example :D
    /pex group admin set message-format "&4[Admin] %player: %message"
    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    Permissions Helper: Here

    Please inform me of any spelling mistakes you find, I'm sure there are plenty of them:D.

    This May belong in the Resources section, just move the thread if it so happens to belong there.

    Okay I will look at that, but is there anything there wrong with the permissions that might not be letting me do commands?

    It's much less of a pain to just redo them with the permissions helper, YAML is hard to learn, I even still use the helper to format the permissions for my server too! MrMan253

    Do you happen to know how I can make it so they can step on pressure plates, buttons, and when they right click on a block it wont say "YOU ARENT ALLOWED TO INTERACT WITH (block name)

    Do you have modifyworld installed? If so give your players the permission
    - modifyworld.*
