Hey, is it possible to easily access the source code of a plugin downloaded on this website? I'd like to know because if I were to make a plugin I wouldn't want it to be stolen easily.

Yes it is. You can make it require a ModuleScript that isn't free, or you can just obfuscate it.

You don't have to publish a plugin to be able to use one.

If you place the files under C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Roblox\Plugins they'll appear under the plugins tab.

I'll give an example that's similar to what I'm trying to do.

Say I make a plugin that only certain HRs in a group can use (perhaps it is something like a database). I make the plugin free for everyone, but I code certain requirements for the user in the plugin scripts.

Now, say this was important information, and so any random dude can't just go in and edit the source code to allow him to access the database.
How can I accomplish this?

Any possible methods are OK, no matter the difficulty, as long as it is close to 100% secure.

You can save the script as a .lua file and have your plugin run the old way, Just tell them what text to put into the file.

thats great, but if i want to allow access to more people (but still not everyone), that's tedious, and what if that guy does something bad and i dont want him to access the database anymore?

he has the code forever, so thats impossible

if i do it with the plugin, i can add his name to a 'banlist' which he would, after i figure out how to do this, not be able to bypass

I don't know for sure but databases seam pretty stupid.

Heres the deal:
You cant check the user in stuido, so if you give it to them, they have it forever

its an example so im not sure

but i just want to make a plugin only usable by certain people
however, i want to make it public, and have the plugin code determine whether or not it will work for the user

the problem is, is that if any random person can go in and edit the source code to allow themselves access, its a problem
thats why im wondering how easy it is to edit/change a plugin's source code and how to make this extremely difficult for people

Why does it need to be a plugin? What would the plugin actually do?

He probably had some sort of system with HTTP service or something.

For what your using it for, "groups" Im sure you dont even need a "database". I was in many groups and we were fin without one and I see no use or storing data, especially on roblox.

That "animation" plugin can be edited though, since it's a plugin.
