Permissions on prims are surprisingly complex, with many unhappy
surprises. <br>
They are not well designed. <br>
<br>
You have probably run into the problem that permissions have a sort
of low-water mark on them, in that, in addition to what you expect,
they are also tracking the LOWEST privileges you have EVER had for
that object. <br>
At least in Second Life, once you have less than ALL privileges, you
can NEVER get them back again.<br>
<br>
Example: If I create an object, set it to TRANSFER, NO MODIFY, NO
COPY, and give it to another avatar, and then the other avatar gives
it right back to me, those are the HIGHEST privileges I can get
back. EVEN THOUGH I am listed as the CREATOR, and the current
OWNER, I no longer have modify or copy rights. I cannot EVER
have modify or copy rights again. They are lost forever.<br>
<br>
Simple web page which agrees with that assessment: (See the
paragraph "Getting permissions back".)<br>

<br>
It's actually MORE complex than that, and depends on WHAT kind of
object you are talking about ( a prim, <br>
a notecard, a script, etc.)<br>
<br>
Here's a much more detailed description of the visible and
almost-hidden privileges on objects:<br>

Sad, but true. Apparently some or all of this legacy madness has
been carried over into OpenSim.<br>

I created a prim in my SL Viewer and wrote script for the prim.
Then I took copy and deleted the prim in the virtual world.
However, later when I draged the prim from Inventory to the
Virtual World, I found out that I lost permission on the prims. I
was not able to view the script at all ;-(<br>
<br>
I don't remember what I did to the prim. Did I miss anything?<br>
<br>
