Embedded objects and link permissions

An object contains a second object which contains a third object.
The third object has been granted permission to delink ( PERMISSION_CHANGE_LINKS ) before it was placed in the second.

The 1st object rezzes the second and the first dies.
The 2nd object rezzes the third and the second dies.
The 3rd object delinks itself having been granted permission before it was placed in the second.

This works fine while in my ownership.
But when transferred to another owner the de-linking fails.

I was under the impression that only the creator of the object needed to give the linking permissions am I wrong ?

Does a script need to ask every new owner permission ?

As far as I know, yes.

I think it's just to protect you from the flying sphere you bought going around and delinking all your stuff.....could be annoying to say the least.

We could surmise that, but I don't see it gives much protection. If the owner agrees to give the permission then off it would go on it's merry unlinking mayhem.

It's still a pain for me, as I wrote the script believing the link permission only needed to be given once, regardless of owner, as long as the script is not reset. Hey Ho !
