Main / Interface / Permissions

Warning: this article is work in progress. Expect frequent changes.
The new permission system has been introduced. This article will change as new information comes in regarding this new system.


Overview

Permissions & security are two topics fundamental to your enjoyment of Wurm Online. This article attempts to outline in great detail the mechanics available to players in order to maximize the security of their belongings and structures. See the talk page associated to this article for some basic advice and guidance.

To enter the management screen for one of the many permissions systems of Wurm Online right-click on any of the following and open the manage sub-menu.

  • the body group header in the inventory or
  • the body icon on the character window.
  • the inventory header or
  • any user-made group header

Individual items may also be managed by right-clicking on them and selecting permissions.

Read-only Permissions

There are several areas where you may see read-only permissions. A read-only permission is when you can see what is set for that permission, but you are not able to make changes to it. For example, if the Settlement May Manage option has been ticked and you are not the mayor, or if you are viewing what your permissions are from Manage > Settlement > Info.

  • inline The green check mark indicates that the permission is allowed.
  • inline The red X mark indicates that the permission is disallowed.

Alliance Permissions

Your villagers need Allow Actions on Allied Deeds in order for any alliance permissions to work for them. This means that if an alliance village has set permissions to allow the alliance to do things, such as May Enter, they will not be able to do so without that settlement permission checked in their role. Your villager can verify this by right-clicking on their body and going under Manage > Settlement > Info. There is a button that should say Show role for <role name>. They can click this and see a read-only view of their permissions. Not having this checked will treat that villager as a non-citizen on all alliance deeds.

Friends

Your friends list has four categories: Trusted, Friends, Contacts, and Other. Only friends that are in the Trusted or Friends category will show in the permission management windows. These categories are quick and easy ways to add blanket permissions to a specific group of people by simply ticking the boxes for the entire group. This adds each name under the category to the permissions individually, which allows you to further customize your permissions.

Note: The system is limited to a maximum of 100 permissions added at a single time. This means that if your Trusted or Friends list has more than 100 players in it, you will not be able to add the whole category at once.

Locks & Keys

The owner of an item or vehicle can unlock and replace locks without the need for keys. If you attach a lock and do not have all of the keys for that lock, you will see this error message: Security Warning: You do not have all the keys for that lock! . Anyone that has a key to the lock can access the locked item or vehicle, but they cannot unlock it, replace the lock, or manage any permissions if they do not have Manage Item set.

Keys are entirely optional, with the choice to create copies remaining for situations where you may not wish to use the permission system. You may dispose of any unwanted keys by sacrificing them at an altar. Should you later decide that you would like a key, simply activate a new lock, right-click the item or vehicle, and click Replace Lock.

Search Permissions

You may search for all the permissions a specific player has and choose which ones to edit. Open the Character Window and right-click on your body. Click on Manage > Search Permissions and a window will pop up asking you to enter a player's name. If the search finds that player listed in any permissions, it will give you a list indicating the name of the item, the type of item, and if they are the owner of it or not. You may tick the circle next to the item you wish to manage, and click Manage Permissions, or you may also click Remove all Permissions to quickly remove that player from all of the listed items.

Animals

Animal management

Animals must be branded by a deed to enable animal management. When first branded, the owner defaults to the mayor and the mayor must set up the initial permissions on each animal. To access the management window, right-click on your body and click on Manage > Animals. This window shows you a list of all animals that you have tamed, are caring for, or that are branded on your deed. You may untame, stop caring for, or remove brands from this window. If the animal is branded, you may select the animal and click Give direction to. This will give you a message in the same way the Locate soul spell does and help direct you to your animal. To manage a specific animal, select the animal you wish to manage and click Manage Animal. You may also right-click on the animal you wish to manage and click on Permissions > Manage Animal.

Animal Notes

  • Only available on PvE servers.
  • Removing a brand also deletes all settings and history associated with that animal.
  • While taming or caring for an animal will show them in your list, neither will enable permission management.
  • Branded animals can have their equipment managed by anyone with Manage Equipment enabled as if they had tamed it.
  • The mayor of the deed which branded the animal must allow other players to manage it.
  • Players with the Lead settlement permission can lead branded animals on and off-deed.
  • Branded animals may be given a nickname by the mayor of the deed that branded them.
Example, if Runheart is given the nickname of 'Spot': A aged fat runheart 'Spot' grazes.
  • Branded animals may be remote managed, even when off deed.
  • Revoking permissions from someone riding the animal will not remove them, but it will prevent them from riding the animal again once they disembark.
  • Branding does not prevent an animal from being killed while off-deed.
  • The limit to the number of branded animals you can have is tiles / 11.
For example, for a 20 by 20 deed: 20x20 = 400 / 11 = 36

The window displayed will provide a list of buildings that you may manage. Here you may also demolish the building if you have the Modify Building permission.

Gate Notes

  • A gate created off-deed must have a lock attached in order to rename it or manage it in any way.
  • The owner of a gate is whomever attached the lock.
  • Anyone can attach a lock to an off-deed gate, but only citizens with Attach Lock can attach or replace locks on-deed.
  • Settlement May Manage allows the mayor and any citizen with the Manage Allowed Objects permission to manage this item.
  • Only the current owner may tick Settlement May Manage for off-deed gates, and only the mayor may remove the tick.
  • A gate created on-deed defaults to Settlement May Manage. A lock is required to manage permissions, but the mayor can rename an gate without a lock.
  • You cannot remove Settlement May Manage for on-deed gates.
  • Locked off-deed gates without Settlement May Manage may be renamed by their current owner.
  • Locked on-deed gates and off-deed gates with Settlement May Manage may only be renamed by the mayor of that settlement.
  • On-deed gates default to allowing citizens of that deed to pass. This can be changed in the management window.
  • Off-deed gates, even with Settlement May Manage, must be managed to allow citizens to pass.
  • Anyone with a key to the current lock on the gate may unlock and pass through the gate.
It is important to replace locks on gates that you extend your deed over, or when you are unsure as to who may have keys to it.
