Control visible sections using ACE permissions

You can control the visibility of individual sections in the scoreboard using ACE permissions.
This is useful if you want to show/hide certain sections only for certain players.

This guide will use the groups section as an example, but it works the same for all options.

Requirements

  • understanding of FiveM ACE permissions
  • your own custom logic for controlling and setting the permissions

Configuration

To enable ACE permissions for a section, you need to change the value of it in the config.lua file.

There are 3 valid values:
true: Visible for everyone
false: Completely disabled and hidden for everyone
'limited': Visible only for players with the required ACE permission

In this case, we want to use the last value → 'limited'.

Steps

Modify the config file

Change the value of groups in visibleSections from true to 'limited'.

visibleSections = {
    groups = 'limited',
    players = true,
    playerNames = true,
    playerIds = true,
    statusIndicators = true,
    footer = true,
},

Restart the resource

Set the ACE permission

Use your own custom code and logic to set the ACE permission for specific players you want to see the group section. You can use this guide as a reference.

ACE permission for the group section is scoreboard.show.groups.
For other options, just replace groups with the name of the option (e.g. scoreboard.show.playerNames).

You can set the ACE permission using ExecuteCommand in your server-side code

server.lua
ExecuteCommand('add_ace group.admin scoreboard.show.groups allow')

or anywhere in your server.cfg file.

server.cfg
add_ace group.admin scoreboard.show.groups allow

You can add or remove the permissions during runtime. It will take effect immediately after reopening the scoreboard.

Test it

If you did everything correctly, the group section will be visible only for players with the scoreboard.show.groups ACE permission. In this example, we set it to the group.admin group.

In case it’s not working, read this whole page again from the beginning and check if you missed something.
