The IntelliDoor GSS (Global Security Server) is a tool used to coordinate security settings among many IntelliDoor products. While group control is easiest for limited access, in some cases it is not possible (autoreturn where the land group is not the group you want to allow, for instance). In this case, if you have many IntelliDoors, the GSS provides a single point where you can list people who should have access.

Setup

  1. Rez the GSS object and open it by right clicking and selecting Open, then double-clicking the "_config" notecard.
  2. Edit the notecard according to who you want to allow and disallow from all of the doors using this server. Make sure you change the server's name to the same server used by your doors. For more information on the whitelist and blacklist, read the section labeled "WHITELIST/BLACKLIST".
  3. Save the notecard and close it. The server should automatically load the configuration.
  4. Reset all doors/components. This can either be done by editing the notecard (to put in the server name, for example) or by selecting the door and going to Tools -> Reset Scripts In Selection (or Build -> Scripts -> Reset Scripts). Make sure the door is fully closed before using the Reset Scripts menu option.

Whitelist/Blacklist

The GSS has two security features - a whitelist and a blacklist. When a door (or other component) "subscribes" to a GSS by using the same server name in its _config notecard, it loads these lists upon resetting.
Those in the whitelist always have access to the door, regardless of the door's local settings. Those in the blacklist will never have access to the door, even if it is unlocked or they have access through an Everyone or Group setting.
The lists are only limited by memory - theoretically, the system should handle more than 100 names easily.
NOTE ON NAMES: The IntelliDoor system v2.1 and above uses usernames (e.g. "nelson.jenkins" or "newusername") - NOT old-style names ("Nelson Jenkins" or "newusername Resident") and NOT display names ("Nelson the Magnificent" or "New User"). Separate values with commas (nelson.jenkins, newusername, etc.). Entries here are not case-sensitive.

Builder Kit Instructions

ATTENTION USERS OF THE BUILDER KIT VERSIONS: THIS IS IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ
Your use of transfer-enabled products is bound by our Full Permissions Agreement. If you haven't read it, it's important you do so.
Most importantly, we keep track of who has purchased the Builder Kit. If someone has a transferable IntelliDoor but has not bought the Builder Kit, that door will not function, and their use of it will be recorded. If you are found to be giving out transferable IntelliDoors, you will be backtraced by the cyber police, and consequences will never be the same.

Therefore, make sure you set the door object to NO TRANSFER and the script inside it to NO TRANSFER before distributing it. However, leave the notecard FULL PERMISSIONS or it will break the script. Otherwise, you are risking both your license to use our products and your reputation with your customers, who will be left with prefabs that have their doors break when rezzed.
