Is there a way to set autoreturn for some group members roles on group owned land?

Is there a way to allow some roles in a group to keep objects rezzed, while others have an autoreturn time (& non-group members cannot rez objects)? Is there a way to set such differences by parcel? is there a way to set them by group roles?

We're trying to avoid having different groups for different parcels, but perhaps we may have to do this in order to have a group sandbox area where most objects will stay for limited time vs. home & shop area where member objects need to stay put.

What if we set shops & apartment areas to an autoreturn time even for group members, but renters have always allow Create Objects & Always Allow Bring in Objects as allowed abilities? Would this prevent non-tenant group members from leaving stuff in other people's shops & apartments?

You can't set autoreturn to apply to some people but not others, so that's not going to work.  If you are clever, you may be able to write a LSL script that acts like an autoreturn by detecting nearby objects and comparing their owners against a list of "privileged" group members.  If there's no match, the script could then return a detected object to its owner.  You might make a list of tenants, for example, and tell the script that their objects are immune from return but anyone else's should be sent home.  There are some awkward limitations to that strategy -- the biggest is that a sensor can only detect up to 16 objects -- but there are ways to get around some of those limitations.  Other than that sort of technological solution, though, I can't see a way to do what you want.

You can set up a two-tier system, in which some people's objects are returned after the autoreturn time, while others' objects remain indefinitely.  The land must be deeded to a group, and the "privileged" class must be members of that group.
