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 who the name of the estate and the estate owner.
The next section concerns broad access rights and options:
- Allow only residents and groups listed below: If enabled, then only residents who are specifically allowed in other sections of this tab, will be allowed access. If this is unchecked, then any resident may access the region/estate - unless otherwise excluded (see below for ban lists). 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.
The four lists below manage specific inclusions and exclusions to estate access. Below each are two buttons:
- Add: Opens the Avatar Selector to allow you to select people to add to the list.
- Remove: Removes the currently selected avatar(s) from the list.
- Estate Managers: The estate/region owner may specify up to 10 people who can manage the estate on their behalf. Only the owner can add/remove people here. Estate rights gives a great deal of power, so be very careful before granting such rights to anyone.
- Allowed Residents: Here you can specify individuals who will have access to the estate/region. (Note that allowed avatars may be banned at parcel level.)
- Allowed groups: Clicking Add will open the Groups Selector, which you can use to add up to 63 groups. Members of these groups will be allowed access to the region/estate.
- Banned Residents: If you wish to prevent people from accessing the region/estate, they may be added here.
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.
