AccessLevel - jimdroberts/FishMMO GitHub Wiki

Enum representing user access levels and permissions in the game. Used for authentication, moderation, and feature gating.

• Banned = 0

  User is banned and cannot access the game.

• Player

  Regular player with standard permissions.

• Guide

  Guide or helper with limited support permissions.

• GameMaster

  Game master with advanced moderation and support permissions.

• Administrator

1. Use AccessLevel to represent and check user permissions throughout the game.
2. Assign appropriate access levels to users based on their roles.

// Example 1: Checking access level
if (user.AccessLevel == AccessLevel.Administrator) {
    // Grant admin privileges
}

// Example 2: Restricting banned users
if (user.AccessLevel == AccessLevel.Banned) {
    // Deny access
}

• Use clear, descriptive names for each access level to avoid confusion.
• Always check access levels before granting permissions or features.
• Document any changes to access level logic for maintainability.
• Use enums for type safety and clarity in permission checks.
