Permissions

**Permissions** are rules you can apply for your world and the properties under it.

This guide covers setting up lists, property and domain(world) rules. The rule settings for: room settings, cover charge settings and admin tools are not covered on this page.

There are two places you can setup rules for properties; Domain Rules (World Rules) and per property Local rules.

Domain or world rules, apply to every property that is in your world. (note that Zabys are not included in your world.)

## Local Rules

First go to your Social Center and then to the Properties tab http://www.redlightcenter.com/net/vww/manage.aspx, As seen in Figure 1, you can select the property you would like to change the rules for. Highlighted in red is the option to see your zabys or the properties of your world. Clicking the **Manage** button for a specific property, takes you to the page for this specific property.

Click the **Rules** tab (Figure 2), highlighted below to see the rules for the specific property.

## World Rules

If you want to change the rules of the whole world instead of a single property click on the Manage World tab. If you have more then one world you need to select the correct world from the dropdown list. Then click on the **Permissions** tab highlighted in Figure 3.

You can always see the different in what rule list you are, local rules (for zabys) are called *Rules* and world rules are called *Permissions*. Some rules are only available as world rules such as *Broadcast* *(purple text)*

## Lists

A *list* is a group of specific people you can give specific rules to, if you want some users to have bootrights or decorating, you can make a list called *Test List 1* (first image), then click **Go**, now you will get a new drop-down list called **Work with a list**. Select the list called *Test List 1* (Second Image). Now add the name of the user you would like to add to this list. This example shows the user Velorian in *Test List 1*, you can keep adding as many people as you like to this list, the rules you configure for this list apply to everyone that is in the list. Therefore if you would like users to have different rules you would need to create different lists.

You can of course name the list to something that will make it clear to why the users are included instead of *Test List 1* in the example above. For example, name a list *Bouncers* and add people who can boot to it. Add another list for *Decorators*, and you can give them the decorating rule.

## Adding the rules themselves

Below are the tables describing each individual rule.

### Type

Specifies if a rule is denied or allowed.

 **Deny** | Prevent members or a list you selected from doing the selected action.

**Deny** rules always win from allow rules when setup, so having "*friends*" on allow decorate, and having "*everyone*" on deny decorate, will prevent your "*friends*" from decorating.

## List

Specifies who are allowed or denied to do an action.

 **Custom lists** | As created in the previous section, in the example *Test List 1*, will apply to the user *Velorian*, since that was the only person that was added to that list.

Custom lists are a useful way to track which members you put in which type of list and what role they have assigned, for example:

* Bouncers - For people you give boot rights.
* Decorators - For those who you gave decorating rights.
* Flight - For those who can fly in the property instead of run.

**Tip**: A very common mistake people make is naming the list the same as the username they want to add to that list. This makes it harder to see if you actually added that person to the list.

### Action

Specifies the action.

 **Send a domain broadcast** | ONLY possible as world/domain permission! This will enable the list to send a broadcast (purple text), note that this will always be send to all properties in that world.

In the example below it lets the user Velorian, decorate in the property, since that user is the only one on that list (*Test List 1*)

## Default Rules

Below is a list of all the default rules setup in the local rules.
