For the purpose of very short term rental of resources of some kind, a bit like the way wi-fi access operates at airports: groups where a) the manager can set a rate in L$ per hour for membership and b) avs can walk up to a dispenser to gain rights...

Or, looked at another way, a script that reads the join date/time of all of a group's members, and unjoins them, run by the manager.

...possible?

Isn't this what the "sell pass" land control function is for?

yers... though groups may have scattered resources. I was thinking about the analogue of wi-fi access points (or drinks vending machines)...

Scriptable group invites/ejects would be better... but there are technical hurdles there.

Another option that has been suggested is group join passwords (which can be given out by scripted vendors).

I e-mailed Kelly Linden about the latter as an alternative to scripted invites, but haven't got any response yet to find out if it was even noticed :(
It would be extremely trivial to implement since it only needs to come up if someone is attempting to join in the first place.
