Glossary#

Short definitions of the terms used across these docs and in-game.

Money & accounts#

• Balance — how much money you (or an account) currently hold. Check yours with /bal.
• Account — where money lives. Every transfer moves money from one account to another. See Accounts & money.
• Personal account — your own player balance; ordinary players cannot spend it on your behalf.
• Business account — money owned by a firm, shared by its staff.
• Government account — a shared account run by a government department.
• System account — an internal account used by the server and plugins (e.g. the Vault bridge and ChestShop settlement account). Not something players create or see in normal play.
• Transaction — a single recorded movement of money. Your history is /transactions.
• Ledger — the complete record of every transaction; what this Explorer reads.

Access#

A shared account has three access tiers: Viewer < Member < Authorizer.

• Viewer — read-only access to a shared account: can see its balance and transactions but cannot spend or manage it. (Used on government accounts.)
• Member — can view the account; on a government account, members can also spend.
• Authorizer — can spend from the account; on a government account, authorizers can manage viewers/members with additional command permissions (authorizer grants remain admin-only; on a firm account the owner manages access). See Permissions & roles.

Two "viewers". This per-account Viewer tier is separate from the site-wide legacy Explorer viewer role, which now maps to the ordinary player baseline. Global financial investigation belongs to configured permissions such as those in the initial moderator role; see Permissions & roles.
