Logging and lifecycle: Log kits given and Wipe player data when the server is wiped.
Menu and access: Use the Kits UI menu, Show kits with permissions assigned to players without the permission, and Players with the admin permission ignore usage restrictions.

Kit data is not configuration

Kit definitions and their inventories are not in Kits.json. The plugin reads them from oxide/data/Kits/kits_data.json; per-player uses and cooldowns are stored in oxide/data/Kits/player_data.json. The configurator edits only global settings, not kit contents or player data.
