Avatar creators can allow specific users access to private avatars

A more customizable option than public/private. Each avatar has a whitelist of users that can access the pedestal or save to personal avatar list, maintained by the original uploader.

Group-only avatars too. One of my groups has a public avatar that's meant to be only for said group, and it'd be nice to be able to enforce that.

"Unlocked" Or "Shared" Avatar Type and Type Icon

Currently, only Public and Private exist to define the usage and spread of an avatar throughout VRChat; however, 2 issues are pretty prominent to avatar creators and contribute to unauthorized or disallowed use of their avatars (ignoring exploits).
1) Reward avatars are cloneable when set to public
If the Unlocked type was created, people could mark their avatars as this type, preventing unwanted cloning but allowing usage through a pedestal or other in-world method. This is especially great for complex puzzles and achievement avatars where it matters most.
2) Sometimes people like to share an avatar with their friends but ONLY those specific people.
This can be achieved by toggling the avatar's type from Unlocked/Private to Public, allowing the users to clone it, then switching it to Unlocked. Since this again prevents unwanted cloning, it won't matter if they have it enabled or not. They will still be able to freely use and favorite the avatar however, unlike with the Private type.
The second addition is merely a cosmetic upgrade which will help with knowing if an avatar is actually clonable or not (and seeing if it is an unlock). There needs to be a small but noticable icon on the thumbnail showing such status.

As an avatar creator I think this would be incredibly useful.
Of course if the person really wanted the unity files they could ask the creator or the creator can always keep it included in a store page.
But most people don't know a thing about using unity, on top of independencies updating or just unity throwing bugs at you.
And some people like quest users might not have a PC so you'd have to have their account info and upload it for them which isn't fun or safe.
Being able to just let specific users use an avatar by whitelist or a code would be amazing and solve so much headache for both the user who wants to use an avatar and for the avatar creator.

We had a talk about this recently again in the VRChat discord, it would be a good addition or.. something else, a generated token to upload avatar to specific users account or whatever ; less account sharing is always good.

This would be good for allowing it to those who are on your friends list and as soon as that person unfriends you they cant use it anymore

It seems to be put as tracked as of July 10th, 2023. I hope this comes out sooner than later as this would be super nice to have! Since the avatar search world has come out (with it being able to save any avatar that you equipped to a database if you enter it), this is something that I want more than ever. My friend's avatars have been stolen by randos from time to time and it's annoying to see. I had to private and reupload a few of my friend's avatars already just to remove them

I have seen this working very well on other platforms.
It's been 5 years now, I really starting to loose faith.
Please VRChat add this, it's such a great feature for artists and communities!
