There are parcels with restricted access and sims (regions) with restricted access. The land owner is the one who decides who can ehter land and who cannot. The way we manage our second life parcels, buildings and avatars show in fact what we are on real life, our more or less hidden personality.

	This method is done by using multiple scripted devices. The most used is the Land Security Orb. Usually, these devices teleport away any resident except the land owner and a few friends. Some of them can be set to evacuate residents at from a specific altitude or who don't belong to a certain group. In this case, group members usually need to wear a distincitve sign (an object or a script). More advanced devices eject residents from land and then add them on the banned list.

In this case, group members usually need to wear a distincitve sign (an object or a script). More advanced devices eject residents from land and then add them on the banned list.

			There are places (for example many combat sims) where it is required for an avatar to use a specific sign (HUD or added object). Avatars without the required marked sign will be teleported away (home or to an instruction point).

			=== Visibility restriction ===
			[[File:Restricted4.png\|200px\|thumb\|right\|Visibility restriction]]

			This new feature (implemented at the beginning of 2013) is very useful. It allows avatars on a parcel to be invisible to avatars outside the parcel an also avatars outside that parcel to be invisible from inside. Also, chat is not possible from inside to outside and from outside to inside your parcel. To do this, open '''World - About Land''', then in ''Land'' menu, choose '''Options''' and click on the tab for avatar visibility and chat. You might also go to '''Sound''' and restrict from there sounds on your parcel.

			Even using ban lines or entity orb teleporters, privacy is not complete. Someone can go to the land border and spy a parcel using camera conrol options. Using visibility and sound restrictions can really hide you from your neighbors (especially if you use a skybox). Another advantage is that it doesn't have the secundary effects had by a ban line or an entity orb (see below).

			=== Obstacles ===

			This might be one of the most natural way of limiting access. Building a high obstacle consumes only a few prims and is visible for anyone. The obstacle might be made only of 4 large prims (for a square-shaped parcel). If a texture is added on inside or on outside, the overall image of the obstacle will change a lot. For a skybox, it can be entirely covered or included into a large box. Unlike ban lines and entity orbs, obstacles are visible and can be avoided and can be used for a much greater high. Into a cube skybox, if there is no door or hole, the only access way is by direct teleport.

			By puting something in a cube skybox with no entrance and blocking visibility, the chance that somebody else will enter on your land and see you is very low.

			There are doors that can be openedd only by their owner or by a specific comand.

	There are at least 10 inworld groups who protest against restricted access. They can easy be found by using the ''Search'' tool.

	So, everybody has a different point of view and it is difficult to find a solution. Some residents will never tolerate anybody on their properties, while others just cannot understand why they are not allowed. The property right cannot be disputed, however a too fast teleporting from a parcel can be considered an abuse.		So, everybody has a different point of view and it is difficult to find a solution.
