Feature Request: Automatic Group Switch Based on Land Parcel
tracked

Summary:
A viewer-side function that automatically switches the active group to match the group assigned to the parcel the avatar is currently on — especially when attempting to rez an object or run a script.
Detailed Description:
When a user attempts to rez an object or use a script that requires land group permissions, the viewer should automatically switch the user's active group to the group assigned to the parcel (if the user is a member of that group). This would streamline the workflow for creators, shop owners, and land managers who regularly work across multiple group-owned parcels.
Suggested Behavior:
• When the avatar enters a parcel or attempts to rez an object or run a script:
◦ The viewer checks if the active group matches the parcel's group.
◦ If not, and if the user is a member of the required group, the viewer automatically switches to that group.
◦ Alternatively, a prompt could ask the user if they want to switch to the correct group before proceeding.
Benefits:
• Reduces failed object rezzing due to incorrect active group.
• Enhances user experience, especially for those managing multiple parcels.
• Prevents errors and confusion for less experienced users.
• Streamlines content creation and land interaction workflows.
Optional settings:
• Ability to enable or disable the feature in the viewer preferences.
• Option for a confirmation prompt before switching groups.
• Whitelist or blacklist for specific groups or parcels.

If you need that function now there is an item on MP that does what you want and works well. Just trying to be helpful. Ping me in-world.

Maybe this is way off. It may not even be possible. I run into this while doing as well. Can there be a way to let a store just know you're a part of the group? Constantly switching for group only specific items, gifts is tiresome.

Don't need to switch the group at all. If LL doesn't already have this, they could get it from Firestorm - a checkbox that currently resides under Preferences > Firestorm > Extras, "Always rez objects under the land group if possible." Works every time I've ever tried it, without fail. regardless of what group I currently have active, without switching active groups. It wouldn't be the first time LL merged a FS feature into the official viewer, and I think that it's a good idea to do so in this case.

i wrote a simple script that lives in an attachment and changes the users group if the user is a member of the group that owns the parcel.
