complete Server Control

vMenu is the industry-standard server-sided trainer and administrative suite for the FiveM platform. Unlike client-side menus which are frequently flagged by anti-cheat systems, vMenu resides entirely within the server’s resource stack. This enables server owners to implement a “Zero Trust” security model, precisely defining which players are authorized to spawn vehicles, manipulate the global weather, or use administrative teleportation tools. This guide walk you through the professional deployment and permission architecture of vMenu.

​
Step 1: Installation & File Placement

Correct directory organization is important for ensuring vMenu can locate its sensitive permission records.
1

Acquire Latest Release

Download the primary distribution from the official vMenu GitHub repository.
2

Deploy the Resource

Create a folder named vMenu within your /resources/ directory and upload the extracted assets.
3

Establish Permission Persistence

Critical: Locate the permissions.cfg file provided in the download. Move this file to your root server directory (the same location as your server.cfg). Placing this file within the resource folder is not recommended as it complicates future updates.

​
Step 2: Technical Activation Sequence

To ensure vMenu initializes with the correct authority, you must execute its permission registry before the resource is ensured in your server.cfg. 
# Authorization Registry (Must load first)
exec permissions.cfg

# Initialize the Resource
ensure vMenu

​
Step 3: Architecting Administrative Authority (ACE)

FiveM uses the ACE (Access Control List) system to manage permissions. Follow these steps to elevate your account to a Superadmin status within the vMenu framework.
1

Open permissions.cfg

use the File Manager to open your permissions.cfg.
2

Define User Principals

Locate the Principals section and add your unique identifier (Steam Hex or Cfx.re License).
  • Example: add_principal identifier.steam:11000010a2c3d4e group.admin
3

Assign Permission Sets

Ensure the group.admin identifier is granted access to the internal vMenu logic: add_ace group.admin "vMenu.Everything" allow

​
Managing Public Access

By default, vMenu is architected with a “Deny All” security posture. If your community is a “Menu-Based” server where regular players should have limited access (e.g., changing their character’s wardrobe or vehicle color), you must navigate to the builtin.everyone section within permissions.cfg and toggle specific deny variables to allow.
