Hey Creators,
We have just rolled out granular experience permissions for groups - giving you as a group owner controls to grant per-experience permissions for specific roles in your group. For example, you now have the freedom to create roles that only have edit permissions for a specific experience or can only access a specific experience’s analytics without granting the same access to your entire portfolio of experiences. Previously, role permissions were set only at the group level. We heard your feedback that this doesn’t allow Creators with multiple experiences to set-up diverse and dynamic enough team roles.
Enabling richer and more sophisticated collaboration with you and your team is one of our priorities, and to provide the tools and controls you need to fit the needs of your team. Previously, we enabled experience ownership transfer, after launching the new group permission system. Today, we’re taking another major step towards a deep collaboration system that works for everyone, whether you’re a small team of creators just starting out, or if you have a large team managing multiple experiences.
Here’s the full list of individual experience controls that we’re launching today:
- Play this experience
- Edit this experience
- Edit and publish this experience
- View analytics for this experience
You can view and configure these permissions either in Studio, or in Creator Hub, by navigating to the Permissions page on an Experience. Only people with access can configure these permissions, for example if they have the ‘Administrate all roles’ permission.
Per-Experience Permissions
You may notice permissions are sometimes greyed out as well - this is the case when you do not have access to manage that permission, or the selected role has the permission globally. For example, the Admins role in the above screenshot has permission to play all experiences, which means you cannot turn off their access to play the specific experience you are configuring. Hovering over the information icon will tell you why something is non-configurable, and how to resolve it.
Equally, you can provide access to your collaborators to manage these permissions - either with ‘Administrate all roles’ or ‘Configure limited roles’ in the role management screen.
Other Improvements
We’ve also been hard at work on many other related features for groups. Here’s a short list of what we recently added:
- Added ‘Configure bans for all group experiences’ to specific roles, so you can now delegate access to ban management without granting full edit access to a role.
- Roles are now draggable for easier visual sorting in the role management page.
- While configuring roles, you can now switch role tabs before saving, without losing your changes.
- Inheritance of permissions is now a lot clearer. For example, ticking ‘edit and publish’ will also tick ‘edit’, as it is a subset.
- When you have permission to only edit some permissions, the others are now greyed out, instead of the form just erroring on save.
- The ‘grant all available permissions’ at the bottom of the role permissions page now more clearly states what it does.
- We are prioritizing bug stamping and will continue to do so!
Thank you so much for your continued feedback. Please give these new features a try, and let us know what you think! We want to hear from you on what you would like to see next up in Groups to make it easier for you to collaborate with your team.
