Nord Staff Integration

Nord Inventory is designed to integrate with Nord Staff as part of the Nord Lab ecosystem.

Integration model

The integration is API/bridge based rather than a hard dependency inside nord_inventory. This means:

  • Nord Inventory can run without Nord Staff.
  • Nord Staff can use Nord Inventory for staff-side inventory operations when its inventory bridge is configured/detected as Nord.
  • Inventory state changes remain server-authoritative inside Nord Inventory.
  • No administrator license identifiers need to be exposed to Nord Staff or to the client.

If a framework is used, start it before Nord Inventory.

Typical staff-side capabilities

Through the Nord Inventory API, a staff system can perform operations such as:

  • read a player's item count;
  • give or remove items;
  • check carry capacity;
  • inspect slots and metadata;
  • open inventory views through authorized server logic;
  • update metadata or durability through trusted server actions.

Example server-side operation:

local canCarry = exports.nord_inventory:CanCarryItem(target, 'water', 2)
if canCarry then
    exports.nord_inventory:AddItem(target, 'water', 2)
end

Permission separation

Nord Staff permissions and Nord Inventory Admin Studio permissions are separate security layers. A user who is staff in another resource should only receive direct /norditems access when they also pass Nord Inventory's ACE/license rules.

This separation prevents a client-side staff state from becoming inventory administrator authority.
