Warnings

	If your HS Orb is Group deeded and you can no longer operate it, simply take it back into your inventory or sell it back to yourself and place it on the ground again. This will re-add you to the Operators list.
	For attacks to work on Group land you will need to Deed the HS Orb to the lands Group. Make sure you are in the Operator list first by click Names / Operators on the menu.
	Only an Officer or equivalent role in the Group can Deed an object to a Group.

The command to make you an operator is: /8addo Your Name

Group Land / Group Operated / Group Safe

Deeded Group Land?

Setting a Group and Deeding is needed. This is because SL only allows scripts to attack people when the land and script have the same exact owner.

Land not Deeded?

Setting a Group without deeding is only needed for those wanting to use Group Operated or Group Safe options.

The following steps should be followed to make your HS Orb operable or safe for a Group and/or functional on Group owned land.

If you want all Group Members & Officers be always be safe from the HS Orb:
- click it and choose from the Menu: Settings / Weapon / GroupSafe and make GroupSafe on.
If you want Group members & Officers to always be able to Operate the HS Orb:
- click it and choose from the Menu: Settings / Security / GroupOp and make GroupOp on
Setting the HS Orb's Group:
- Right click and Edit the HS Orb.
- Click Set and choose the Group.
If you have Deeded land:

Now Click the 'Content' tab.

Right Click 'Settings' & 'Channels' notecards and click Properties and tick "Share with Group".
Type the command: /8addo your name - to make you are an Operator in the HS Orb.
Click the General tab, tick "Share with Group", click (Deed).
(If Deed is greyed out you will need to contact a Group Officer and get permissions to Deed or pass the Orb to them and have them place it and Deed it for you.)
Right Click 'Settings' & 'Channels' notecards again and check Properties / "Share with Group" is still ticked. If not tick again.
Note: You no longer own the Orb, the Group does. SL sees Groups as seperate entities from avatars. To get the HS Orb back sell it to yourself or pick it up. You will need to be an Officer or have permissions within the Group to do so. If you have problems talk to a Group Officer. I will not be able to help you with Group permissions problems.

Now you can run SET UP from the main menu or use SETTINGS to adjust the HS Orb settings if you haven't already.

Unlimited Names

Groups can be used to have unlimited Operators or Authorised visitors.

You simply need a Role within the HS Orbs group with ALL the "Allowed Abilities" UNTICKED.
Then you can add people to the group and make sure they only have that empty Role only.
Once done you can safely use the Group Safe or Group Operated options without compromising your land.
Make sure to double check everything you have done, and make sure that it makes sense to you.

I won't be reimbursing you if you give someone authority to do things you did not intend!
