Ability to edit ranks in-game

Well, the topic says the most...

Some softwares, like MCForge, uses some way to give the owner/admin access to change permissions for a rank via a command!

This is something I miss in fCraft, since the ranks can't be changed without server restart, which might be hard to combinate with collecting up-time at the minecraft.net list, if you understand.

I think, correct me if I'm wrong, that it might be possible to connect a command to the config file you edit by notepad, as you do when changing someone's PlayerDB with /setinfo.

So, is it possible to make something like /SetRank [Rank] +[Permission1] -[Permission2], which will give specified rank the specified permission!
Example: /SetRank guest +PlaceWater -PlaceLava will give the rank guest permission PlaceWater, but taking the opportunity for guests to PlaceLava!

I hope I've explained clear enough, ask if you wonder about something.
I also hope this is possible to make out.

Thanks looking into it,

Adding/removing permissions from existing ranks is doable. However, adding/removing whole ranks, or changing the hierarchy without restarting is impossible.

Then, is this a possible feature?

I understand about the hierarchy and such...

Yes, it's possible. And not particularly hard.

Is it possible to have rank permissions update with /reload config safely if the permissions have changed in the config?

The point is changing permissions, but name/limit/checkboxes would be fine as well

I could use this for bugtesting, shutting down the server to add a rank with specific permissions just to test that suspected anomaly is quite a hassle. If adding/changing ranks isn't feasible with regard to command length or the like, at least make ranks update on /Reload Config.
