AvatarEditorService:PromptAllowInventoryReadAccess() does not show a prompt in Roblox Studio Edit Mode.

It is possible to prompt a ‘AllowInventoryReadAccess’ AvatarEditorService:PromptAllowInventoryReadAccess() request through plugins, and the command bar in Roblox Studio Edit Mode.

No UI is shown to the user because it’s likely linked to their LocalPlayer, and CoreGui which is not present.

Expected behavior

Either a prompt should be shown to the user, or it should not be necessary for InventoryReadAccess to be granted by the user when things like AvatarEditorService:GetInventory() is called from the command bar, or a plugin.

Thanks for the report! I filed a ticket in our internal database and we’ll follow up when we have an update for you.

I don’t get an error at all, but this notification to ask for inventory access only shows up in actual servers and not on studio test mode.

Prompting for player inventory access is not currently supported outside of a Roblox player or studio play client context. We don’t have immediate plans to change this, but I have added a ticket on our backlog to improve the error messaging in this case. Thanks again for the report!
