## The 4-Tier Permission System
61+
62+
### Why Custom Tiers?
63+
64+
Pelican Panel has two built-in permission contexts:
65+
1. **Admin Panel** - Root admins and users with admin roles
66+
2. **Server Panel** - Server owners and subusers with granular permissions
67+
68+
However, for documentation, we needed more nuance. A game server host typically has:
69+
- **Infrastructure documentation** - Only for the hosting team (network configs, security policies)
70+
- **Server administration guides** - For server owners renting/managing servers
71+
- **Moderator handbooks** - For trusted users helping manage game servers
72+
- **Player-facing docs** - Rules, guides, and welcome messages for everyone
73+
74+
Pelican's native permissions don't map cleanly to these roles, so we created a **virtual permission tier system** that infers user roles from their existing Pelican permissions.
75+
76+
### Permission Tiers
77+
78+
| Tier | Badge | Who Can See | How It's Determined |
79+
|------|-------|-------------|---------------------|
80+
| **Host Admin** | 🔴 Red | Root Admins only | `user.isRootAdmin()` |
81+
| **Server Admin** | 🟠 Orange | Server owners + admins with Server Update/Create | Server ownership OR admin panel server permissions |
82+
| **Server Mod** | 🔵 Blue | Subusers with control permissions | Has `control.*` subuser permissions (start/stop/restart/console) |
83+
| **Player** | 🟢 Green | Anyone with server access | Default - anyone who can view the server |
84+
85+
### Hierarchy
86+
87+
Higher tiers see all documents at their level **and below**:
88+
- **Host Admin** sees: Host Admin, Server Admin, Server Mod, Player
89+
- **Server Admin** sees: Server Admin, Server Mod, Player
90+
- **Server Mod** sees: Server Mod, Player
91+
- **Player** sees: Player only
92+
93+
### Example Use Cases
94+
95+
| Document | Type | Global | Use Case |
96+
|----------|------|--------|----------|
97+
| Infrastructure Security Policy | Host Admin | Yes | Internal security guidelines for your hosting team |
98+
| Server Administration Guide | Server Admin | Yes | SOPs for anyone managing a server |
99+
| Moderator Handbook | Server Mod | Yes | Guidelines for trusted helpers with console access |
100+
| Welcome to Our Servers! | Player | Yes | Community rules visible to all players |
101+
| Minecraft Server Info | Player | No | Server-specific information for one server only |
102+
103+

## Configuration
199+
200+
### Environment Variables
201+
202+
All settings can be configured via environment variables or by publishing the config file:
203+
204+
```bash
205+
# Cache Settings
206+
SERVER_DOCS_CACHE_TTL=300 # Cache TTL for document queries (seconds, 0 to disable)
207+
SERVER_DOCS_BADGE_CACHE_TTL=60 # Cache TTL for navigation badge count (seconds)
208+
209+
# Version History
210+
SERVER_DOCS_VERSIONS_TO_KEEP=50 # Max versions per document (0 = unlimited)
211+
SERVER_DOCS_AUTO_PRUNE=false # Auto-prune old versions on save
212+
213+
# Import Settings
214+
SERVER_DOCS_MAX_IMPORT_SIZE=512 # Max markdown import file size (KB)
215+
SERVER_DOCS_ALLOW_HTML_IMPORT=false # Allow raw HTML in imports (security risk)
216+
217+
# Permissions
218+
SERVER_DOCS_EXPLICIT_PERMISSIONS=false # Require explicit document permissions
219+
220+
# Audit Logging
221+
SERVER_DOCS_AUDIT_LOG_CHANNEL=single # Log channel for audit events
222+
```
223+
224+
### Admin Permissions
225+
226+
By default, users with server management permissions (`update server` or `create server`) can manage documents. Set `SERVER_DOCS_EXPLICIT_PERMISSIONS=true` to require explicit document permissions instead.
227+
228+
The plugin registers these Gates:
229+
230+
- `viewList document`
231+
- `view document`
232+
- `create document`
233+
- `update document`
234+
- `delete document`
235+
236+
To extend access to other admin roles, modify the `registerDocumentPermissions()` method in the ServiceProvider.
237+
238+
### Customization
239+
240+
The plugin uses Pelican's standard extensibility patterns:
241+
242+
```php
243+
// In another plugin or service provider
244+
use Starter\ServerDocumentation\Filament\Admin\Resources\DocumentResource;
245+
246+
// Modify the form
247+
DocumentResource::modifyForm(function (Form $form) {
248+
return $form->schema([
249+
// Add custom fields
250+
]);
251+
});
252+
253+
// Modify the table
254+
DocumentResource::modifyTable(function (Table $table) {
255+
return $table->columns([
256+
// Add custom columns
257+
]);
258+
});
259+
```
260+
261+

## Testing
320+
321+
The plugin includes comprehensive unit tests using Pest PHP:

324+
# Run all tests
325+
cd /path/to/pelican-panel
326+
php artisan test --filter=ServerDocumentation
327+
328+
# Run specific test file
329+
php artisan test plugins/server-documentation/tests/Unit/Services/DocumentServiceTest.php
330+
331+
# Run with coverage
332+
php artisan test --filter=ServerDocumentation --coverage
333+
```
334+
335+
### Test Coverage
336+
337+
- **DocumentService** - Version creation, caching, permission checks
