I am having a problem using keys with locked containers. It's probably easiest to go straight to the example...
-> I am on a PVE server where stealing is not allowed
-> I have a deed with pickup permission turned OFF ...
-> on it I have a building with may enter / pickup / load / unload permissions turned ON ...
-> inside I have a crate rack secured to the ground and fitted with a small padlock ...
If I manage the container (crate rack) and add a non-citizen player with may-open permission. He can open the container and transfer items out of it. Everything in that instance works as you would expect it to.
However, If I DO NOT set the container permissions and give the player the key instead, he can only look inside the container, any attempt to remove an item gets a 'no stealing' notice.
If that player uses the key to place items into the container .. he can remove only the items he placed inside.
I did the same tests with a large chest as well and got the same results
I also logged out the deed owner (owner of the items in the containers) to eliminate any proximity ownership.
----------
It would appear that the code for removing an item from a container is not doing a check for a matching key when evaluating permissions.
From the wiki: www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Permissions
"Keys are entirely optional, with the choice to create copies remaining for situations where you may not wish to use the permission system."
When I read that it sounds like they 'may-open' permission and the use of a key should have the same functionality
I would consider this a bug if the function of the key is supposed to be an alternative to setting permissions, and (in the case of the key) viewing without interacting seems to be a mostly useless function.
