[Opensim-users] Is the user name the only information used to lock content permissions in opensim?

[Unadecal Arado]

Content saved to an OAR maintains its its creator information and
permissions only if it is restored to the same grid where the creator
information exists. If the OAR is restored to a different grid, where the
creator does not exist (as in the uuid, not the name), the sim owner would
automatically become "creator" and "owner" of all the content in the OAR
and all previous permission restrictions would be lost. Since everything is
referenced by uuid, having multiple accounts in different grids with the
same name would not solve this issue. Restoring the OAR onto a standalone,
local simulator would have the same effect of stripping all previous owner
and permissions information.
