# Permissions

#### DATABASE Permissions

To utilize DATABASE permissions, you need to set `Config.PermissionType` to 'database'.  Then, change the permissions column for the specific player in the `bodyguard_data` database table.

Next, make sure that 'admin' is added to `Config.AllowedGroups` as follows:

```
Config.AllowedGroups = {'admin', ...}
```

#### ACE Permissions

To utilize ACE permissions, you need to set `Config.PermissionType` to 'ace'.  Then, in your server.cfg, include the following command:

```
add_ace <principal_identifier> <ace_string> <allow|deny>
```

For example, you might use:

```
add_ace group.admin bodyguard allow
```

Next, make sure that 'bodyguard' is added to `Config.AllowedGroups` as follows:

```
Config.AllowedGroups = {'bodyguard', ...}
```
