Details

Description
Adding essentials.* to permissions of player does not drop inventory upon death.

Steps to reproduce
add essentials.* on player's permissions ess reload if needed kill player

additional information: based on the code of https://github.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/pull/3328 Essentials/src/com/earth2me/essentials/EssentialsEntityListener.java

if (user.isAuthorized("essentials.keepinv")) {
            event.setKeepInventory(true);

Since the user has access to all essentials permissions, it will default to keep inventory to true. Resolved the issue by removing essentials.* from player.

If this is an expected behavior, please close the ticket. thank you.

Expected behavior

Yes, this is expected, given that the permission which grants this ability is essentials.keepinv and that using essentials.* grants all Essentials permissions.

Consider looking through the permissions list and only granting the permissions you need. Alternatively, you can negate essentials.keepinv (and any other unwanted permissions) in your permissions plugin to stop this behaviour.
