the question came up of handling animation permissions for multiple avatars sitting on an object with just one script

this is an example which demonstrates the basics of doing this
 

// this is an example of a way to handle permissions sequentially in a
// single script synchronised multi-person sitter
//
// as wrote assumes that the named animations ASit1..BSit3 are in object Contents
// also assumes that all animation names are unique
// and assumes a single page dialog menu, so MAX_SETS <= 12
// modify the code for a multi-page menu

// data for multi-person sitter. Ordered in columns (SETS) and rows
// where a column is a synchronised animation set for the sitters
// add columns (SETS) and Sitters as wanted
list Data = [
    "Chill",           "Perch",           "Laze",            // texts of menu buttons
    "ASit1",           "ASit2",           "ASit3",           // Sitter1 animation names
    <0.5,0.3,0.8>,     <0.5,0.3,0.8>,     <0.5,0.3,0.8>,     // Sitter1 positions
    <0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0>, <0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0>, <0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0>, // Sitter1 rotations
    "BSit1",           "BSit2",           "BSit3",           // Sitter2 animation names
    <0.0,-0.3,0.8>,    <0.0,-0.3,0.8>,    <0.0,-0.3,0.8>,    // Sitter2 positions
    <0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0>, <0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0>, <0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0>  // Sitter2 rotations
                                                             // add Sitter3..n as wanted
];

// max number of sitters. Must be reflected in list Data
integer MAX_SITTERS = 2;  // 2 sitters: ASit, BSit
// number of synchronised animation sets. Must be reflected in list Data
integer MAX_SETS = 3;   // 3 sets: Chill, Perch, Laze
