Region Details - Estate Tab
This tab deals primarily with access control to the region/estate you own or manage. If the estate comprises several regions, changes made will optionally be applied to all regions.
The top lines are informative: the name of the estate and the estate owner.
The next section concerns broad access rights and options:
- Allow only residents and groups listed on the Access tab: If enabled, then only residents who are specifically added into the Allowed list on the Access tab are permitted access. If this is unchecked, then any resident may access the region/estate - unless excluded in the Banned list in the Access Tab. Blocking access this way overrides any parcel access controls that might be set.
- Anyone can visit: This is enabled if the option above is disabled - and vice versa.
- Must be 18+: If enabled, only residents who have verified that they are adults, on the SL website, will be allowed access. Note that this is a parcel-level setting, and is not the same as the Adult setting, which is estate-level. It is possible to have Adult access without being age verified.
- Must have payment Info on File: If this is enabled, only residents who have payment information on file with LL will be allowed access to the parcel.
- Parcel owners can be more restrictive: Enabling this permits parcel owners on the estate, to have more restrictive access settings. If this is off, then they will not be able to limit access more than what is specified in this panel.
- Allow Voice Chat: If enabled, resident will be able to use local voice chat; otherwise this will not be available (thought private voice IM will be).
- Allow Direct Teleport: Lets Residents teleport to specific locations within your estate's regions. If you want to force visitors to arrive at a specific area in the estate, disable this and use a telehub. If this is enabled, parcels can still set landing points
Finally, two buttons:
- Send Message to Estate: Allows a message to be broadcast to the entire estate.
- Kick Resident from Estate: Opens the Avatar Selector to allow you to select someone to be expelled from the region/estate. Note: This doesn't automatically add the person to the list of banned users.
