Admin rights in acl.xml won't work.

[xKacperinos]

I have recently set-up a MTA:SA server on a debian 7 vps.

The server is working fine I can join and login, but when I add my name under the admin rank it seems to revert back to the original state.

The ACL group to edit usually looks like this:

    <group name="Admin">
        <acl name="Moderator"></acl>
        <acl name="SuperModerator"></acl>
        <acl name="Admin"></acl>
        <acl name="RPC"></acl>
        <object name="resource.admin"></object>
        <object name="resource.webadmin"></object>
        <object name="resource.acpanel"></object>
    </group>

Under any of the resource.x lines, add         <object name="user.*YourAccountname*"></object>

So it will become like this;

    <group name="Admin">
        <acl name="Moderator"></acl>
        <acl name="SuperModerator"></acl>
        <acl name="Admin"></acl>
        <acl name="RPC"></acl>
        <object name="resource.admin"></object>
        <object name="resource.webadmin"></object>
        <object name="resource.acpanel"></object>
        <object name="user.xKacperinos"></object>
    </group>

Now, when you /register and /login with that account name (used in example: ''xKacperinos'') you'll have admin rights on it.

This can also mean you're editing ACL while the server is still running, in order for it to save correctly you must first shutdown MTA server before editing ACL.xml
