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 maximise the security of their belongings and structures.

* If it can be locked, it generally should be locked (or in a house).

* Most [[:Category:Vehicles|vehicles]] have management settings which are '''only''' in effect if locked.  They can still be dragged if locked but not moored or hitched.
 
−
* [[BSB]]'s & [[FSB]]'s can be locked by others (even on a deed or in a house) and should be locked by the owner if accessible by other parties.  When bashed, the contents are gone.
 
−
* [[Chest]]s can be locked and will drop the contents on the ground when bashed.  Locked [[small chest]]s can be picked up and burned in a fire to release the contents.
 
−
* Houses are locked for access only and protection is provided by the writ itself.  House locks do not have keys and the writ only shows in inventory if the building is on your current server.

* '''It is illegal to lockpick anything that does not belong to you on a PVE server.'''

* If you live on a dictatorship deed, be aware that the mayor has total control of everything on that deed.  It is possible for them to expel you, break into your house, and take all of your items.

== Settlements ==
+
The building management screen will be available for any buildings:
−
Settlements have a great variety of permission and security settings that can help to keep the belongings of yourself and your fellow villagers safe from any unwanted attention such as bashing or theft. Villagers, friendly deeds and alliance members all have customisable roles so it's a great way to invoke different levels of security to players (or groups of players) depending on how much trust you have in them.
+
* you are owner of (or used to hold the [[writ]] to).
−
=== Villagers ===
+
* where you've been provided access via '''settlement may manage''' and '''manage allowed objects''' permission
−
This section is mainly for those who wish to join a village and attempts to explain what to be on the look out for and how to maximise your personal security when living on someone else's land.
+
* where you have the '''manage permissions''' role on a specific building.
  
−
When you join a settlement it's good practice to check to see what type of politics are involved. If the village is a non-democracy (dictatorship) then the mayor may revoke your citizenship at any time potentially leaving you unable to collect your items. This is more crucial should there be gates or buildings you need to pass to do so as the mayor may lock these and deny you, or anyone, passage.
+
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.  
  
−
Building, or owning the writ to, a house on a mayor's settlement comes with some level of security but there are a few points that must be taken into consideration. For the sake of this section we will assume that no-one has been added to the house writ as a guest. The mayor may do any of the following (non-exhaustive list):
+
=== Permissions ===
−
* pick up items left in an unlocked container or on the floor
+
Checking a building and pushing the '''Manage Permissions''' button will take yo uto a screen where the '''owner''' can re-name the building and change the ownership. The owner and any other players with direct or inherited manage permissions will also be able to view and modify all permissions linked to the building.
−
* move any items inside of the house, even if locked - ''except for vehicles, that are hitched and locked, to which they have no access''
 
−
* modify your house (add, remove, continue, rotate, paint etc)
 
−
* bash your walls, thus gaining access
 
−
* bash the contents of your house
 
  
−
As you can see, a mayor has pretty much full control over houses on their deeds and only by adding a lock to the door(s) can you limit access to them, but it will not prevent them bashing the walls down. If the settlement permits you to do so ensure that all containers and doors are locked. If you are unable to attach locks it would be best to discuss this with the mayor before you begin leaving your items inside of the house. Never assume items you leave anywhere else on the deed are safe, they are not.
+
;Manage Item :allows ''management of the permissions'' on the building
 +
;May Enter :allows entry through locked doors (if managed by the building) and the ability to ''improve'' and ''repair'' the building and its contents
 +
;Modify Building :allows ''destroying'', ''building'' and ''rotating'' of floors, roofs. Deed permissions may be required to add or remove tiles
 +
;Pickup Items :allows ''taking'', ''pushing'', ''pulling'', ''turning'' and ''hauling'' (overrides deed settings)
 +
;Pickup Planted :allows ''taking'' of planted items, requires the ''Pickup Items'' building permission
 +
;Place Merchants :allows placing of a ''merchant'' or ''trader'' and overrides the deed settings
 +
;May (Un)Load :allows the ''loading'' and ''unloading'' of items, overriding the deed settings. Requires ''Pickup Items'' for the target to load items they do not own and ''Pickup Planted'' for planted items.
 +
;Deny All: Does just that!
 +
=== Doors ===
 +
Picking a building and clicking the '''Manage All Doors''' button will allow you to individually manage each door in a building.
  
−
Other players, including villagers, will not be able to act as the mayor does in the above situations, even with the relevant settlement permissions enabled; only the mayor can override your house writ settings. Regularly checking the names of friends that have been added to writs is encouraged as accounts may be transferred to others at any time. Unless another player needs full-time access to a structure, only add them as a guest as needed.
+
== Carts and wagons ==
−
=== Mayors ===
 
−
Mayors have free roam of the land they've deeded, with the exception of not being able to open any container that they did not lock or do not have the key to, including their own containers in their own structures that they've planted.  They are also unable to move, or unhitch animals from, vehicles they do not have access to.
 
  
−
Security for mayors is a little more simple in that providing the settlement permissions are tight they may store anything they like inside of an enclosed building without fear of it going astray. It is still good practice to use locks where possible and to regularly check writ permissions and settlement roles from time to time, especially if other villagers are allowed to modify them.
