NeoBokrug Elytis Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Just for clarifications sake: A regular Experience Key requires a region to have the ExpKey as a Trusted Experience? And a Grid Scope Key does not? It can work on Mainland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindens Troy Linden Posted February 18, 2015 Author Lindens Share Posted February 18, 2015 Just for clarifications sake: A regular Experience Key requires a region to have the ExpKey as a Trusted Experience? For Land Scope keys they need to either be added to the Key (formerly Trusted) or Allowed experiences list. For Grid Scope they just can't be in the Blocked list. And a Grid Scope Key does not? It can work on Mainland? Yes, they work on Mainland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucia Nightfire Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I was not aware that my Land Scope key would be upgraded to a Grid Scope key. I thought I would be issued a separate Grid Scope key. I have applications using my current key that I do not want to operate grid wide, only over land the users have the right to allow experiences over. Could I have my key reverted back to Land Scope and a separate Grid Scope key issued? I will take one with no KVP store size if necessary. Thanks in advance.

Just in case of confusion: Land Scope keys also work on Mainland, enabled on a per-parcel basis (not per-region). For example, my teleporter ring works all around the Atoll -- but only on group land where I can enable it. (If it were a grid-wide key, of course, the experience could work anywhere.) So, for those who are testing this now: Does the permission request look any different for Grid Scope Experiences compared to Land Scope? (I'm not sure it really matters; I'm just a bit concerned about whether folks will accept the scary-looking list of Experience permissions, grid scope or otherwise).

Lucia Nightfire Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The permissions dialog looks the same for both Land Scope and Grid Scope experiences. I have received several concerns from users about the nature of the permissions dialog and how it lists all possible permissions an application can exercise even if only one is actually used. I could only direct them to blog and wiki info on experiences and tell them it was out of my hands. In a related note, I did file https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-8044 in hopes that behavior with llAgentInExperience() in Land Scope keys can be changed to that of Grid Scope keys so no false negative cases occur.

Solo Mornington Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Is there some documentation somewhere with a big venn diagram of scope? I have a 'land scope' key and since all of SL has land... It's a little confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayrah Parx Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Land scope keys only work on parcels where the experience was added to the allowed experience list in About Land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeon Writer Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Will grid scope experiences be the only way to access a KVP database from anywhere on the grid, or will that functionality be added to land scope keys as well? I ask this because the KVP is my main interest in the experience tools; while I'm fine with the persistent permissions only working on my own land, access to my KVP from anywhere was something I expected to be able to do from any experience-compiled script.

Qie Niangao Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 If you mean "anywhere on the grid" whether allowed by the landowner or not, then yeah: land scope Experience scripts throw an XP_ERROR_NOT_PERMITTED_LAND when trying to use the associated KVP on parcels that don't explicitly permit that Experience. But it's important to note that you do not need to be in any way associated with the land on which your land scope Experience is enabled. It just can't run without the landowner's knowledge and permission. (That said, I absolutely agree that there are a host of applications where KVP access only would be handy, and wouldn't seem to cost the landowner any trouble if limited to just those operations. Unless I'm missing some griefing vector, which I usually am.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restricting KVP read/writes to only land that allow the land-scope experience seems entirely arbarary, as there's absolutely nothing griefy you could do. The restrictions appear to be made for and justified by what you can do with persistent/automatic script permissions. Applying those same restrictions to the KVP functions appears to be a case of over-protection and that's very, VERY unfourtinate. The clear work-around, if you want to keep everything in-world, is to make a HTTP proxy so you can communicate to a prim rezzed at a home location to do the read and writes for you, and send back the data. This is a real hassle, and I don't understand why it should be necessary. Being able to use a HTTP proxy to get your KVP data doesn't allow you to do anything "greify", it just creates lots of overhead and it's a real pity not to be able to use the functions directly in an attachment. I have absolutely no need for grid-scope persistent permissions, but I very much want/need grid-scope KVP. It will be a shame if the only way to have KVP access gridwide is to have a grid-scope key, as that will be paying for major, powerful, greify-potential features I just don't need in order to be able to do what I actually want.
