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.
