To authorize additional users and/or groups access, follow the steps outlined below.
To authorize additional users and/or groups access, follow the steps outlined below.
User Authorization
You can authorize as many users as needed. If you prefer to setup group authorization instead, scroll down to the Group Authorization section.
To grant a user access to the system, with their own set of permissions, follow these steps:
- Open the * System Manager notecard, located in the contents of the system.
- On a new line, follow the format
user = username, Perm-Add, Perm-View, Perm-Remove- username = The users Second Life username. Display Names are unsupported.
- Perm-Add =
TRUEorFALSEvalue accepted. Setting this value toTRUEwill allow the user to add notecards to the system. - Perm-View =
TRUEorFALSEvalue accepted. Setting this value toTRUEwill allow the user to request notecards from the system and view them. - Perm-Remove =
TRUEorFALSEvalue accepted. Setting this value toTRUEwill allow the user to delete notecards from the system.
ex.user = Johnny Nexen, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE
- Repeat Step 2 for each user that you wish to grant access.
- When finished, save & close the configuration notecard.
- Awesome! The user(s) that you've added should now be able to access the system!
Group Authorization
Before applying group access, please understand how Group Access works:
Group Access is a secondary authentication check. This means that if someone attempts to access the system that has already been added to the configuration as a user, the system will use the set of permissions that have been defined for that user.
Otherwise, if a user is not listed in the configuration, it will check to see if the user has an active group tag matching a group that's been granted access.

Otherwise, if a user is not listed in the configuration, it will check to see if the user has an active group tag matching a group that's been granted access.
Authorizing group access is much like adding a user, except authorizing a group will apply a single set of permissions for all users within that group. To authorize a group access, you will have to obtain the groups UUID.
Obtaining a Groups UUID
Open the groups profile that you wish to grant access.
At the top of the profile, you should see a key — 36 characters in length — copy this key and paste it into the configuration as outlined below.

ex.group = b81cdeca-3b8a-6813-bb5d-88befbc20011, TRUE, TRUE, FALSE
- Repeat Step 2 for each group that you wish to grant access.
- When finished, save & close the configuration notecard.
- Bam! Those that are members of an authorized group can now interact with the system by wearing/activating their group tag!
