Overview

Other resources read board data through two server exports. Who can see and edit each board is set in the config.

Server Exports

1local boards = exports['ml_board']:GetActiveBoards()
2local count = exports['ml_board']:GetPlayerBoardCount(identifier)

• GetActiveBoards(): Returns a table of all active dynamic (player-placed) boards
• GetPlayerBoardCount(identifier): Returns the number of boards owned by a player

Permissions

Board access is set per location in shared/config_locations.lua:

• jobView: Jobs that can read the board (nil = everyone)
• jobWrite: Jobs that can post notes
• jobClear: Jobs that can clear all notes
• allowedVariants: Restrict which note types are available (by id)

Each board also carries a permissions table with one rule per action, so pinning, moving, deleting, clearing, wiring, drawing and stamping are gated separately. Static boards take it in shared/config_locations.lua, player-placed boards take it on their entry in Config.BoardTypes. Values are 'all', 'own', 'none' or a job list, and the admin permission bypasses all of them.
