SecurityTiers

SKG Security is implemented in two tiers:

  • User
  • Syncer

You will see the term SKG Admin used loosely around this site to refer to Syncer group listed above.

User Tier

Users are the general raiding populace, and can perform the following functions:

  • View Player and Roll Lists
  • Set Viewing Options, Button Texture and Profile Options
  • View Help System
  • View Primary Bidding Panel
  • Bid/Retract on an item in an Open Bid

Syncer Tier

Syncers have access to all functions in the client. This includes everything listed above in the User Tier, and:

  • Manage Lists (Create, Delete, Rename)
  • Manage Players (Insert, Remove, Suicide, Move)
  • Manage Bidding/Process Loot Events
  • Sync Lists

Admin Tier

This tier no longer exists in current versions of SKG. The Guild Leader can still determine who has the "right" to manage SKG Security by granting/denying access to the Guild Information panel. As such, there is also no longer a need for a Proxy.

The Guild Leader is always a Syncer.

Choosing an Authentication Method

There are two options for an Authentication (or auth) Method, defined here:

  • Rank-Based Authentication - This allows anyone of the selected rank and above to become a Syncer. Note that setting the rank the lowest rank in your guild effectively turns 'everyone' into a Syncer. This is, as you might expect, strongly discouraged.
  • Manual Authentication - Requires manually selecting each person you wish to manage loot events (be a Syncer). This is especially useful if only a very limited number of your officers raid, or want to manage loot events.
