I am making an admin panel so ofc I am trying to lock it to a certain rank in a group, but no matter what I try it doesn’t work.
I have tried:
Print Debugging
Messing with the script
Reversing the if statement
(I don’t really want to just disable the GUI because exploiters can get it easier.)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupid) >= minRank then
else
script.Parent:Destroy()
end
end)
Just tried enabling and disabling, it doesn’t work.
It looks okay, though you may want to change the script(s) to a LocalScript. In this case, the script would get destroyed instantly if an exploiter joins, meaning they shouldn’t be able to access the scripts.
what? exploiters can access localscripts. they cant access server scripts so they are more secure.
Yeah, but what I’m trying to tell you is that if you’re destroying the parent (which will destroy the descendants of it), it will destroy the scripts too, meaning the exploiters cant access them.
Remember, exploiters can only access THEIR client.
You could contain the rank-locked UI in ServerStorage and after checking, cloning the UI into the player’s PlayerGui depending on whether they are a certain rank or not
Didn’t work. Very odd. I also didn’t get any errors. 
Where are you containing the script, and what does the script consist?
Alright, here’s what you need to do:
Turn ServerScripts to LocalScripts. Remember, as I stated, if the UI is getting destroyed as the player is joining, they can’t read or access the script, nor UI. Keep this in mind: Using ServerScripts in StarterGui can be server heavy, since they aren’t meant for that, but can run there.
Also, I’d believe you are in the group, invalidating what the script is doing. Try to test it on an alt and get back to me.
I did it on the alt and changing the type of script won’t help.
Yeah but a player’s gui should only ever be handled by local scripts.
Under the GUI, and what do you mean what does it consist??
I never use localscripts. Why should I?
The script handling the addition of the UI shouldn’t be in the UI itself neither should any server scripts be in it
Gosh guys, y’all arent giving this guy the right solution.
The answer is wayy too simple, the PlayerAdded doesnt fire properly in studio as the event fires before your scripts properly load in. Its better to test it ingame because the scripts are already loaded in.
Trust me, i went through the same experience…
If you want to test it in studio maybe delay the script. or even better DONT use PlayerAdded at all. Let it run like this
if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupid) >= minRank then
else
script.Parent:Destroy()
end
No PlayerAdded event, because the scripts activates immediately after loading in.
I did that. Lol. Didn’t work. Not exactly “easy” now is it.
The problem is that that is not ALL the code I have in there.
local config = require(game:GetService("ServerScriptService"):WaitForChild("Read Me // Configuration"))
local groupid = config.GroupID
local minRank = config.minRank
local banDataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore(config.banDataStore)
local introSpecIsAwesome = config.introspecIsAwesome
local debounce = false
local open = false
if introSpecIsAwesome then
print("Introspec is awesome!")
else
print("Wow you don't think Introspec is awesome.. :(")
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
if plr:GetRankInGroup(groupid) >= minRank then
script.Parent:Clone().Parent = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGUI")
else
print("Nope!")

I don’t want to change it incase anything here breaks when I do .
huh so your saying that your Destroy() doesnt work? now thats weird indeed.
We’re actually giving him really good reasons as to why it isn’t working. The PlayerAdded event works perfectly fine in Roblox Studio. The problem lies in the GetRankInGroup function itself.
