[Opensim-dev] Change parcel permission handling

[Melanie]

Not true.

Even in SL estate owners/managers don't have some parcel rights. If
I specify parcel owner, i expect parcel owner. Maybe a way needs to
be found to combine multiple strings, e.g.
ESTATE_MANAGER,PARCEL_OWNER. That would be acceptable. Changing the
current behavior that people already depend on to relax security is
not acceptable. It may mean that someone suddenly can do something
they could not do before and the owners may not be aware of this,
causing issues.

Also, in case of a group owned parcel, group permissions govern what
people in the group can do. Group members are by no means owners,
often parcels are deeded only for access control but normal members
have no rights whatsoever. Giving them potentially dangerous
functions is not an option.

On group owned parcels, those functions can be allowed either to
group owners only (the group invite functions already do this check)
or to deeded prims only. Allowing them for every member of the group
is really bad. You don't really want to have your roleplay's members
osTeleportAgent the opponents out of the fight!

Again, relaxing existing constraints is not an option, but as you
can see above, ways can be found to define combinations of
permissions to allow more flexibility.
