"osNpcCreate permission denied." yet they get created. 🔼

I brought my NPC tool into CG, and tried to create some NPCs, got that message, AND they got created anyway.

2019-08-21 23:43:12 onefang: Hmmm, osNpcCreate should be unrestricted I think, but it wasn't.  So why did it work anyway, coz I was HGing in?

2019-08-22 00:08:59 onefang: On sc.bigtest.org (test grid on my desktop) logging on as an ordinary user.  onefang gave the NPC tool to ordinary user.  onefang@IG is listed as script creator.  NPC is rezzed after -

osNpcCreate permission denied. Script creator is not in the list of users allowed to execute this function and prim owner also has no permission.

osslParcelOG = "PARCELGROUPMEMBER,PARCEL_OWNER,"

osslNPC = ${XEngine|osslParcelOG}ESTATEMANAGER,ESTATEOWNER

Allow_osNpcCreate = ${XEngine|osslNPC}

User is not a member of the parcel group, not the parcel owner, not an estate manager, and not the estate owner.

Note that SC is a copy of IG, where onefang is all of the things needed.  Though the scripts list onefang@IG, not just onefang, as creator.

For the original bug report, onefang@MG was HGed into CG, and got the same result.
