Usergroups

What can't you do?

Currently other than explicitly adding an admin lib such as breaker, there is no way to check if a user is an admin. The solution to this already exists in Garry's Mods: Usergroups.

How would you like it to work?

Similarly to Garry's Mod, I'd expect that I would be able to access/set a clients usergroup, although with the addition of support for multiple user groups.

IClient.GetUserGroups() : string[] IClient.AddUserGroup(string userGroup) : void IClient.HasUserGroup(string userGroup) : bool IClient.RemoveUserGroup(string userGroup) : void IClient.SetUserGroups(string[] userGroups) : void

What have you tried?

N/A

Instead of methods, I'd opt for an ISet<string> property that gets networked or just using tags.

Looks like usergroups are just meant to be tags, so why not use tags instead

In your mind, what do you see that looking like as a tag? Something like usergroups:group1,group2? Whilst this does technically work, it's non-standard and as such makes it harder for code to be admin addon/lib agnostic. Although, I don't see why this couldn't use tags behind the scenes, whilst still having dedicated methods/property.

Just add an "admin" tag for admins and a "moderator" tag for moderators, it doesn't need any special treatment
