Hi all,

What does the "Grant Modify Rights..." button in the friends panel grant modify rights to? Is it your items, what you are wearing, have attached, both, something else?

Thanks ahead for helps

It means the person granted the rights can mod your items, ie move them, delete them, etc. Nothing your wearing or have attached to you they can though.

Rezzed objects. It's not very useful anymore... back in 2003 it used to grant full privileges rather than just "modify", allowing you to collaborate with people a lot more easily.
These days, you want someone to help you with a script, you have to add that person to a group you are in and tick like 8 checkboxes!

Agree... I have seen past marketing blurbs on SL that point to its collaborative nature, but there are several fundamental spikes on the dancefloor that prevent groups from really getting their groove on. The whole permissions thing is very tricky... if only you could mass-set permissions or specify a way that YES YES YOU'RE REALLY REALLY SURE YOU WANNA GIVE PERMS TO ANOTHER RESIDENT!

Checking all those boxes really gets in the way. :(

I find it useful to grant modify rights to my alt, my husband and his alt so that whoever I'm logged on as, I can still continue my building projects.

That's about it.
