Administration

Prepare INIDBI2

1. The INIDBI2 Mod uses ini files for data storage. These files are located in a folder called db in the mod structure. If this folder does not exist, create it. Otherwise the mod isn't able to create the ini-files.
2. Also use the latest version of INIDBI2. At the moment this is v2.06

Create Admin manually

1. To create an admin for PPL you first must start Arma with CBA/PPL and Arma Server with CBA/PPL/INIDBI2.
2. Next you must allow sending data to Server by Opening the addon options in Arma, going to the PPL client settings and tick allow sending data, see screenshot.

3. Then you have to start a multiplayer game on your server and connect your client. At this point the client connects to server and the server adds an entry for that player in his db file, called ppl-players.ini
4. Now you can locate the ppl.players.ini file in mod folder of inidbi, for example @INIDBI2\db\ppl-players.ini
5. Open the file with an editor of your choice, locate the entry block for your player, like this one:

[76561197994306240]
playerName=""y0014984""
playerUid=""76561197994306240""
isAdmin="false"
isAdminLoggedIn="false"

6. Now change the isAdmin entry to isAdmin="true"
7. The next time you open the PPL interface you are able to login as admin and then manage templates and assign loadouts.

Create Admin automatically

1. To create an admin for PPL you have to start Arma with CBA/PPL and Arma Server with CBA/PPL/INIDBI2 first.
2. Next you have to login as server admin (not voted admin) by typing in chat #login oder perhaps #login [password]
3. The next time you open the PPL dialog, you will become an admin.

Additional Admins

You can promote players to admins by using the Promote button. If a user is already an admin the button changes to Degrade. Now you can revoke the privileges by pressing the button.
