[Opensim-users] User Levels - Configurable?

[Fleep Tuque]

Yes, I wondered if it was possible to configure those privileges since we
may want to allow someone privs to take ownership of objects and force
object permissions but NOT have permissions to claim land, for example.

...

Permissions were already complicated in Second Life, but I am having an
even more difficult time managing all the various permutations in OpenSim.
 I think I need to make myself some kind of cheat sheet that clarifies what
actions are controlled by which permission in which
system/setting/configuration area, because between Grid Gods, Estate
Managers, Groups & Roles, and individual parcel settings, I'm going a bit
crazy trying to figure out what overrides or controls what, and where each
setting actually needs to be enabled or changed.

In opensim.ini:

- permissionmodule
- serverside_object_permissions
- allow_grid_gods flag, I'm still not entirely sure what that means, and
for subsequent config below that, this sets the user level to 200 in the
database for the region owner, region manager (I assume that means Estate
Manager?), and parcel owner?
- simple_build_permissions flag
- Various group permission settings for OSSL functions

In the Viewer:

- Admin menu (God powers)
- Estate Managers, which I can't find any documentation about exactly what
privileges an Estate Manager has in OpenSim, I'm making the assumption that
it duplicates the behavior in Second Life, see
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Estate_Manager#Abilities
- Groups & Role permissions
- About Land options settings and permissions
- Object permissions

Did I forget any?
