http://pastebin.com/jCy6Rmm9 here is the .json. my rank and the owners rank cant do anything now, i thought i had it originaly for him and i to have all perms '*' but its not working now, i orriginaly accidently set the owner rank and server manager rank to be default by accident, and then when i changed it we have no permissions.

Read the 2.0 getting started guide. The permission default (the def command) is not whether the group is default, it's what the value for any unset permission should be. That means that if the default in 2.x is true, it's equivalent to what * used to do in 1.x (* has no meaning in 2.x)

ok thanks

i get confused with the commands, i like editing files and configs more. and still havent gotten to pex2.0's it did fix it.
