This is nice. I hated having to open that ugly side panel that’s only purpose was to add a user. Glad the features are becoming more organized.
give specific group role testing permissions for your game.
A testers role in a group has never been cooler than now!
(Only the owner can add collaborators)
When will people be able to designate “admin” collaborators that can add other collaborators similar to how Google Docs has a system allowing certain people to add others IIRC, as well as other changes.
Big change for team create though! No more annoying a specific person to fix a product :l.
No longer allowed to add individual users to Group Games
Why has this been changed? Having the functionality would be nice despite this update being meant to bring together the game permissions in a sensible way
I have a question about enabling game access though.
I sometimes create mass amounts of projects over the span of one month and want to make them all inactive, but I am to lazy to write a JS script for it.
Will there every be some functionality to disable places easier, currently having to go to a new page then back becomes very time consuming?
Overall, this update looks pretty rad. Good job developers!
You don’t know how helpful this is. earlier my friends wanted to watch. Me dev. Of course, I didn’t trust them, but now with permissions, they can say as long as they want.
We added a new feature which allows you to add your friends or give specific group role testing permissions for your game. Just give a role-set or a friend the “Play” permission, and they can now navigate to the Game Details page and play the game with you without the game being required to be public.
Again, helpful. I need testers but I don’t ant to make the game public. And people might get bored while watching me dev, so why not play and watch me at the same time!?
That will allow you to hire contractors and receive assets without requiring you to give them access to your game(s).
This’ll be amazing for my commissions, since there is a team create chat, people can watch me make the animation, tell me what they like and don’t like in real time, and rice it right after it’s done! No hassle! Another great addition.
Thank you so much for the people that worked on it! This’ll be very helpful for me and (hopefully) many others!
That is Beyond expectation, i did not thought you’ll be able to asign specific access to “each” games in a single group, and there it is, alongside a vast new permissions list for a better contribution access.
However, it is possible to have a slightly ˢᵐᵃˡˡ ˡᶦᵗᵗˡᵉ petite feature for a even more complete configuration ?
Groups with several projects going on have trouble doing accurate % revenues,
So being able to set a Percentage “per game” would be great, and no one would have a reason to ever own multiple groups and (worst case scenario) moving their community.

We originally did this, but realized it felt like a bandaid over a complete solution of having more granular permissions. Permissions are complicated in Roblox, and the goal is to spend time to iron out this system and come up with solutions to this problem.

Individual users that have no relationship to the group didn’t make much sense from a product stand-point. We will keep this in mind as we refine permissions.
@kenami Groups with several projects going on have trouble doing accurate % revenues
Yes, we recognize this as an issue. It was out of scope for this project.
@cloakedyoshi This is phenomenal. Do these “play” perms bypass paid access to allow for testing?
Currently, they do not. This is a great feature request and I have noted it.
@Veesom Would have blown me away if you could have included my feature request from quite a while ago.
This was for inside of Studio only. I will pass on this information to the relevant team. Thanks!
Thanks for the quick reply. And yea, I could imagine designating permissions can get troublesum in a platform as large as ROBLOX. I mean I had some issue writing mixed permissions in my admin! (oh man now I have to handle for this edge case :l)
Do you have any answer on the other question I asked by the way?
Why can we no longer add groups to a game to allow everyone in that group to, at the minimum play?
The DevRel lead QA team used this feature to allow groups of testers to be whitelisted to the game easily - now we either have to manually add them if the place isn’t a group game since we can’t add individuals to group games anymore.
Many of the games being tested have relied on scripts we’ve provided to allow access to users in the QA group as well, but this would easily be solved instead by this feature continuing to support these features.
This is going to help me on my development, i always wanted this feature:
I have some friends and sometimes i ask them to help me on testing a new feature in my up-coming game. Or sometimes the friends of my friend are going to help me. Well, with this feature, i don’t need to set my game to Public, and have a very very very very very very very and very * 100 chance that a stranger join my game, or a friend join me, when i didn’t asked him to join. This is going to help me alot, thanks!
This will be helpful for permission-based development in my opinion. I am always concerned about game security with my developers and even the roles in the group that gives dev privileges. I was looking forwards to this as I can manage it better and more securely to fit the need of what my devs can do. Looking forward to using this.
