Permissions

Adding an admin user

This is a little complex at the moment but it will get easier some time soon.

Join a channel that BitBot is in (he'll automatically join #bitbot with default configuration) and then type

/msg <botnick> register <password>

The * permission is a special permission that gives you completely unfettered access to all of BitBot's functions.

On IRC, send this to BitBot and take note of the ID response

/msg <botnick> myid

Then take that ID and open the database in sqlite3 (default database location is databases/bot.db

$ sqlite3 databases/bot.db

And then insert your * permission

INSERT INTO user_settings VALUES (<id>, 'permissions', '["*"]');

(where <id> is the response from the myid command)

To authenticate yourself as your admin user, use the following command

/msg <botnick> identify <password>
