HOW CAN I ALLOW OTHER USERS TO CHANGE OR EDIT MY ITEMS?

[Omotoke]

Hi,

 

I know I read somewhere that it was possible to give other users permission to change or edit items in your inventory.  Does anyone know how this is done?

Yes. Go to your profile. Open your People tab. Click the gear icon next to the person you want. Click Permissions. Click edit delete or take my objects.

From the Knowledge Base article about your question ( http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Friends-and-partnering/ta-p/700067#Section_.4 ). There are two methods:

 

Letting friends edit your objects

There are a couple of ways to allow a friend to edit your objects in Second Life. This is often referred to as collaborative building or collaborative creation. It's a useful way to let groups of people collaborate on a building project together. The method you choose depends on whether your co-collaborator is in a group, whether he or she is your friend, etc.

The group method

1. Right-click the object and choose Edit to bring up the object editor.
2. Click on the General tab in the editor. (If you can't see the tabs, click on More.)
3. Click on the Tool icon to the right of Group and assign the object to the group your friend is in.
4. Click OK.
5. Select the checkbox next to Share.

Click on the People tab and click MY FRIENDS to open your friends list. Mouse over your friend's name and click to view your friend's profile. In the profile page that appears, click the wrench icon and choose Permissions:  Under Allow (friend's name) to, select Edit, delete or take my objects. Important: This gives your friend the same rights that you have to edit all of your objects. A few things to note There are a few things you should be aware of: Your collaborative partners can only edit objects you've rezzed. Nobody but you will ever have access to your inventory, so if you want someone else to edit an object that you own, you need to rez it inworld first. Your collaborative partners can't edit the next-owner permissions on an object they've been granted access to. It isn't technically possible to link two prims together if they have different owners, even if the owners have given each other edit permissions. Your collaborative partners cannot edit your objects if they have Select Only My Objects enabled in their Tools menu.

The very good article that Irene pointed out tells youhow to let other people edit your items.  You asked about letting others edit items in your INVENTORY, however, and nobody can do that. Your inventory is a list of everything that you have stored in the asset servers. No one has access to those things but you.  If you want to let people edit one of your items, it has to be rezzed in world first, or it has to be transferred or copied to their inventory.  If it's rezzed in world, then you can follow the instructions that Irene showed you.

@Rolig. Well, to be fair to that article, it does actually cover the matter of objects in Inventory.
