Add option to allow collaborators to view analytics to shared games

Following up from Many Pages of the Creator Dashboard result in "Access Denied" with edit permissions - #16 by DarkPixlz

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to view game analytics as a collaborator to a game owned by an individual.

A game I work on is owned by an individual account, not a group. I have full edit permissions on it, but I’m not permitted to view statistics for it.

This isn’t optimal because I’m limited in knowledge on how the game is performing, all o have is likes and visits, which doesn’t say much.

A solution to this is offering a choice for collaborators to be able to view the analytics, because not everybody will want collaborators to be able to view the statistics, but for many, myself included, this will be very helpful.

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because I will be able to share game statistics with others, and have others share it with me, who I may be working with.

If this game is in a group, you can share analytics via the group permissions

This topic is not about group games, but games owned by accounts which you have edit permissions on.

Pray this can be solved, it was talked about last time but nothing was ever done:

Reintroducing Hourly Revenue to Creator Analytics

Thanks for clarifying the question. Right now unfortunately there is no easy way to view the data if it is owned by a user. Only the user itself has the permission. I will bring this request back to our team and see what we can improve on our permission management for analytics.

Thanks for this feedback! The team is investigating how to improve collaboration use cases like this and we’ll update the thread when we have some more info.

Is there any updates on this? Its been a second and this is still a very much needed feature. It’s really hard to work on experiences that are owned by an account instead of a group and not be able to view any analytics data on the game without being able to easily make decisions regarding analytics.

Hey. Please revise this. It is important.

[mezz_inc (mezz)]

Tagging in, this is something I think is important.

Just so I understand the problem:

1. You have a game in an individual account
2. You have other folks who help you edit the game
3. You want to grant these folks analytics permissions?

[pyxfluff (Pyx)]

Yes, that’s the issue at least in my case.

[mezz_inc (mezz)]

Yes, that is the case, same here like these guys.

[signal_zzz]

Have you thought about converting your individual experience to a group then you can manage analytics permissions?

If not, curious why not.

I’m not sure why it’s not allowed, it’s the least dangerous thing to see the analytics of a game.

I haven’t worked at this studio for about a year now so I’m less able to speak on the matter but at the time it wasn’t offered for a reasonable price and it’s still pretty high for a transfer so having this would be a reasonable alternative until it’s available for free.

[mezz_inc (mezz)]

It’s also in general a bit frustrating to wipe the previous universe’s experience data because you want to move the game anyway (at least done manually, and the latter having to pay), so I feel like many people would appreciate this option.

It’s also a step in the right direction for making co-creator games less hard to work with. There’s various random denials or restrictions that aren’t clear or frustrating, and not everyone wants to deal with a group or be forced to move it.

the staff response to this is insane to me. i dont understand why they cant add this feature? is there ANY update on this?

[pyxfluff (Pyx)]

I’m going to close this off now because game transfers exist and it solves the problem for me at least. If anybody else is out there who can’t transfer and is still running into this issue you can open another topic.
