Land permissions

Good day all,
I bought a parcel of land and set up a group with 2 members in the owners group so they can have full access.

I set the parcel to the same group but all the permissions I have just set are ignored. Owners are suppose to have the rights to “toggle Edit terrain” and "Edit Media" for example. But all these options are grayed out despite wearing the same group tag.

I have set the parcel permissions for Create, build, and run etc… to group, and they can rez and build objects but that’s it.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Regards

Yeah, in contrast to the permissions in About Land, Group Abilities really only apply to group-*deeded* land, not just land *set* to group. The first time you deed land to group it can be a little scary, and it's kind of important that anybody in the group with land ownership-related permissions just be alts of one RL person unless you really, really want somebody else to be able to do stuff like abandon or sell everything.

So the answer is Deed group
Ok many thanks

Make sure you don't set auto-return if you've got any of your own objects (i.e. belonging to you rather than the group) rezzed there or they might disappear. I speak from bitter experience!

Oooo... yeah, auto-return: Just wanted to clarify that you do *not* want to *deed* items to group (with a very few exceptions), but you do want to be sure everything is *set* to group on the parcel before turning on auto-return.

The exceptions are mostly things like radios and TVs, "good" security systems, and anything that counts prims on the parcel. There may be others, but not that come to mind. The problem with deeding items to group is that any with no-transfer next-owner perms--usually things you built yourself--will get stranded as group-owned because the group is that next owner, and the stuff becomes no-transfer.

The other thing about deeding group to land is to be very careful about how the group comes to have the contributed tier necessary to cover the land. Initially, I think the only way is to check the box that says "owner makes contribution with deed" (or something like that). Once the group has tier contributed, there are more options because you can temporarily "borrow" tier from the group, leaving it with a negative balance long enough to move land around between owners.

I once accidentally returned an 500 prim still unlinked castle I had just built that way. (In the days BEFORE items coalesced)
