Test SuperVanish visibility with separate staff and player accounts

Applies to: SuperVanish; match the linked maintainer documentation to your installed platform and release.
Documentation checked .

A vanished administrator seeing themselves normally does not prove ordinary players can see them. Use observers with different roles to verify the visibility rules you actually intend to enforce.

Follow the procedure

  1. Confirm you are using LeonMangler’s SuperVanish and record the version. Other similarly named projects have different settings and should not be configured from this procedure.
  2. Prepare a vanished staff account, an ordinary non-operator observer and a trusted staff observer. Inspect each observer’s effective sv.see and any layered visibility permissions.
  3. Vanish the staff account using the installed command. Have the ordinary observer check the world, player list and tab display from the same server.
  4. Have the staff observer repeat those checks. Compare the result with your policy: some staff should see vanished colleagues while ordinary players should not.
  5. If using layered permissions, read the release’s level comparison rules and enabled setting. Assign only the intended level to each test role, then rejoin if the release requires refreshed state.
  6. Reappear and repeat the checks. Confirm all observers see the staff account normally again and the staff member has not retained an unintended invisible state.

Check the result

The ordinary observer should fail to see the vanished account through the tested in-game surfaces, while the authorized observer sees it only as policy permits. Record the two accounts’ roles with the result. Testing solely with an operator often masks the very problem you are investigating.

If the result is wrong

If ordinary players still see staff, check inherited visibility permissions and conflicting tab-list plugins before broadening vanish permissions. If staff cannot see colleagues, fix the observer role rather than granting it operator status. Revert the specific level change if it reverses the intended hierarchy.
