<div>Dear Crista:<br>
<br>
Perhaps you can help me understand a couple of things.<br>
<br>
Is it true that an avatar on an OpenSim grid, such as OSGrid could
teleport from a HyperGrid enabled region on OSGrid to another OpenSim
grid such as UCIGrid and end up with an avatar identification such as
<first>.<last>@osgrid.org?<br>
</div>
</div>

Yes.<br>

<div>For instance, my avatar is "Charles Krinke". So, would I end up
on UCIGrid after the HyperGrid teleport as <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:Charles.Krinke@osgrid.org">"Charles.Krinke@osgrid.org"</a>.
At that point, would I expect to be able to access my inventory back on
OSGrid while on a region on UCIGrid?<br>
</div>

Yes. That's the current state of things. I think we should restrict
access when the user is in foreign grids, although there is a large
spectrum of access control strategies that can be employed, some
technical, others TOS-ish.<br>

<div>Before getting too deep into permissions issues and partially
finished logic, my current thought has to do with a simple concept.
That is, capitalization. I would argue that
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:charles.krinke@osgrid.org">"charles.krinke@osgrid.org"</a>, <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:Charles.Krinke@OSGrid.org">"Charles.Krinke@OSGrid.org"</a> and
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:cHaRleS.KrInKe@OsGriD.ORg">"cHaRleS.KrInKe@OsGriD.ORg"</a> are all the same avatar and I wonder if we
are considering that notion?<br>

Internally what matters is your UUID. The name is only for other people
to be able to recognize you. But this is related to the policies that
OSGrid, and other grids, have in place for user registration. Do you
accept registrations from two different users, one named Charles Krinke
and the other named charles krinke? If you do, then there can be two
users with almost the same name.<br>

<div>I also am assuming that the reverse is either working or
contemplated. That is, a user on UCIGrid teleporting from a HyperGrid
enabled region on UCIGrid to a HyperGrid enabled region on OSGrid and
would end up on OSGrid as <first>.<last>@ucigrid.edu and
similarly be able to access his/her inventory back on UCIGrid.<br>

Yes.<br>
All of this is already happening. In almost all meetings in WP for the
past couple of weeks there have been people participating who come from
their own grids.<br>
