Linden Scripting Language - Permission System

Permission System

Certain actions in LSL require permissions:

  • take money from agent's account
  • take agent's controls
  • start or stop Animations on agent
  • attach/detach from agent
  • change links
  • track the agent's camera position and rotation
  • control the agent's camera

The permission system, however, is an issue for scripts owned by the land owner: those scripts can modify the parcel settings without requiring permissions. A malicious script can unsit avatars, ban and unban avatars, destroy the terrain that includes returning of objects by letting them fall out of the World, and gather the ip addresses of avatars by manipulating the media settings for that avatar.

Famous quotes containing the words permission and/or system:

    Misfortune is never invited. And it comes and sits at the table without permission and it eats, leaving nothing but bones.
    Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

    In the end we beat them with Levi 501 jeans. Seventy-two years of Communist indoctrination and propaganda was drowned out by a three-ounce Sony Walkman. A huge totalitarian system ... has been brought to its knees because nobody wants to wear Bulgarian shoes.... Now they’re lunch, and we’re number one on the planet.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)
