You don't want to get robbed, do you?

Of course not, that's why we have a permission system. It manages who may access or use items, perform actions or simply regulate admittance.

Manage permission from your Body menu

Permissions are the fundamental key to secure your belongings no matter if you're playing alone or in a group.

You can find the menu to manage permissions by right-clicking your body in the character window, the inventory header or by right-clicking the item. The different options in the manage sub-menu lead to their respective lists.
