ACE permissions not working (add_ace / add_principal)

An admin command or menu won't let you in even though you have permissions. It's almost always a permission name that doesn't match. How to fix it.

The problem

You're in the admin group but a resource tells you that you don't have permission, or the command does nothing.

The cause

The permission name (acePermission) in the resource config doesn't match EXACTLY the one you granted in server.cfg, or the add_principal that puts your identifier into the group is missing.

The solution

Define the group, add your identifier and grant the permission with the EXACT name the resource expects:

cfg

# 1) Your identifier into the admin group
add_principal identifier.discord:YOUR_DISCORD_ID group.admin

# 2) EXACT permission (must match the resource config)
add_ace group.admin miRecurso.admin allow

# A typo here (miRecurso.Admin vs miRecurso.admin) and it WON'T work

Step by step

1.Check the EXACT permission name in the resource config (capitalization included).
2.Make sure you have `add_principal` with your real identifier (steam/discord/license).
3.Restart the server to apply changes in server.cfg.
