Your job is to decide what permissions you would like the next owner to have. TRY THIS NOW: Rez a prim and look at the permissions. Practice checking and unchecking each button to see when each is active. What combination would you choose for an item you wanted to give away AND be modified? Step 2: Finding permissions of items in your Inventory To check the permissions for any item, you can always rez it and open the Edit window. You can also view and even change permissions directly from the Inventory! To check an item’s properties, find it in Inventory and R-click (Cmd-click) to open a drop down menu. Select Properties to find out more information about the item.

The Inventory Item Properties Window will show the same information as the General tab in the Edit window. If you created it yourself (or have permission) you can change the permission settings. TRY THIS NOW: Find a chair in your Inventory Library. Inventory > Library > Objects > Chair R-click (Cmd-click) on it and choose Properties to view its permission settings. Can you modify it? Copy it? Give it away? Tip: Seeing permissions this way can be very helpful when choosing textures and scripts for objects you are creating.

Step 3: Setting Group permissions It is so much fun to build something with others! However, you need to make sure everyone has permission to modify the object.
