Permissions & security are two topics fundamental to your enjoyment of Wurm Online. This article attempts to outline in great detail the mechanics available to players in order to maximize the security of their belongings and structures. See the [[Talk:Permissions|talk page]] associated to this article for some basic advice and guidance.

To enter the management screen for one of the many permissions systems of Wurm Online '''right-click''' on any of the following and open the '''manage''' sub-menu.
* the '''body''' group header in the [[inventory]] or
=== Friends ===
[[Image:Manage_friends.jpg|right|thumb|Manage friends]]
Your [[friends]] list has four categories: Trusted, Friends, Contacts, and Other. Only friends that are in the '''Trusted''' or '''Friends''' category will show in the permission management windows. These categories are quick and easy ways to add blanket permissions to a specific group of people by simply ticking the boxes for the entire group. This adds each name under the category to the permissions individually, which allows you to further customize your permissions.
:'''Note:''' The system is limited to a maximum of 100 permissions added at a single time. This means that if your Trusted or Friends list has more than 100 players in it, you will not be able to add the whole category at once.
=== Search Permissions ===
[[Image:Search_permissions.jpg|right|thumb|Search permissions and result]]
You may search for all the permissions a specific player has and choose which ones to edit. Open the '''Character Window''' and '''right-click''' on your '''body'''. Click on ''Manage > Search Permissions'' and a window will pop up asking you to enter a player's name. If the search finds that player listed in any permissions, it will give you a list indicating the name of the item, the type of item, and if they are the owner of it or not. You may tick the circle next to the item you wish to manage, and click '''Manage Permissions''', or you may also click '''Remove all Permissions''' to quickly remove that player from all of the listed items.
:;Deny All: Denies all access.
== Carts and wagons Wagons ==You can manage land vehicles by '''right-clicking''' on your body and clicking on ''Manage > Carts and Wagons''. You may also '''right-click''' on an vehicle you have own or have permission to edit and click ''Manage Cart''. Cart will be whatever the type of vehicle it is that you are managing. Owners will see a ''Permissions > Manage Cart'' option instead. A [[small padlock]] or [[large padlock]] is required to manage vehicle permissions. === Cart and Wagon Notes ===[[Image:Cart_and_wagon_management.jpg|right|thumb|Cart and Wagon Management]]
* The owner of a vehicle you may be using can change the name of that vehicle at any time or attach a lock to it thereby making it useless to anyone else, including locking you out of any items you may have inside the cart.
* If you have obtained a locked vehicle from another player who did not pass along the key to you, immediately replace the lock. Failing to do so can result in the owner of the key unlocking your vehicle at any time.
* Not all permissions will be visible on all vehicles. For example, [[small cart]]s will not have '''Can Command''' or '''Can be Passenger'''.* Only the owner may rename the vehicle. === Cart and Wagon Permissions ===[[Image:Large_cart_permissions.jpg|right|thumb|Cart and Wagon Permissions]]

== Settlement ==
[[Image:Role_ManagementBody_settlement_management.jpg|right|thumb|Role ManagementManage Settlement from your body]]You can manage your settlement by '''right-clicking''' on your body and clicking on ''Manage > Settlement''. This will bring up a list of various settlement options depending on your current permissions. The mayor may also use the '''settlement deed''' item in their inventory, and anyone can use the [[settlement token]] to both manage and view permissions of that settlement.===Settlement Notes===[[Image:Settlement roles.jpg|right|thumb|Manage settlement roles]]
* The ''Allow Actions on Allied Deeds'' permission is required in order to take advantage of a vehicles ''Allow Allies'' permissions to be enforced.
* If a role is given to a ''Trusted'' friend who also inherits the ''Citizens of my Deed'' roles the citizen permissions will take priority. It would be required to manually add the desired role for the player to the managed item if it differs from the citizen permission. The player can exist in more than one list; if different permissions are selected for the same player, they will end up with a merged set of permissions.
* <font color="#0000FF">Blue</font> settings may only be set on citizen-type roles.
* <font color="#FF6666">Destroy Any Building</font> is a citizen-only role. This will allow anyone with this permission the ability to bash any building, regardless of ownership.

* Unless you are the owner, have the key or have full manage rights to an item, taking it across server borders will leave you with an item that you can no longer manage or use.
* The owner of a vehicle you may be using can change the name of that vehicle at any time or attach a lock to it thereby making it useless to anyone else, including locking you out of any items you may have inside the cart.
* Commanding a boat cross server without explicit permissions will give an error message and prohibit the crossing.
* Keys are no longer required for unlocking or replacing a lock if you are the owner of the boat.
