Could be worth adding a list of checkboxes that can be set in the DCS Launcher that allows users to enable/disable permissions? Could be done pretty easily IMHO

Ignoring for a second the probability of people really unlocking everything, why are you saying that it is NEEDED? You can just enable mission to gui dostring_in, if that is what is needed.

Personally I have only worked on server-side mods and I have little experience in mission scripting. I think the changes ED have introduced can be very interesting for server-side mods, intended for more advanced users. However, now knowing that missions also leverage dostring_in and have now been blocked, I do agree with @cfrag's point that soon someone will just make a post somewhere saying to simply copy these lines in autoexec.cfg and enable absolutely everything. I think the idea behind the change is good and needed but the approach may require some tuning.

Understood, thank you. I have only used dostring_in in the hook environment.

I'm sorry but I am not very familiar with "normal" mission scripts limitations. What do you use dostring_in for? It was my understanding that before it was not available in the mission environment.

Yes, indeed "server" is required by some server-side mods. For example, Olympus requires it.
