groups

ChatControl permission groups in settings.yml use chatcontrol.group.{name} permissions to control player delays and feature thresholds. They are distinct from Rule Groups used by the rules engine, which do not affect player permissions.

ChatControl group overrides often fail due to first-match-wins ordering and channel delay conflicts. You must resolve these configuration issues by enforcing consistent override hierarchies across channels to ensure proper permission behavior.

PlayerGroup in settings.yml controls player features via chatcontrol.group.{name} permissions, while Rule Group in rules/groups.rs is used by the rules engine and is entirely unrelated to player permission configuration.

Fix ChatControl channel delay misconfigurations by identifying conflicting group overrides and applying best-practice remediation to enforce consistent group behavior across all channels.

You can audit ChatControl permission groups across servers to prevent misconfiguration. This process provides validation guidance and recommended configurations to ensure consistent group usage and avoid future permission conflicts.
