Places of occurance:

I tested this in one of my testing experiences. This is the ID 8829660439

I tested this with one of my friends.

System Information

Windows 10 - 64 Bit
but I don’t think it’s system relevant

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a game

  2. Go on Studio and add someone to “Collaborate” at the top right and give them “Play” access, NOT “Edit”. (Game must be uploaded I think)

  3. Access https://create.roblox.com/dashboard/creations and find your game

  4. Go to “Access” and turn this option on “Allow private servers”

Expected Result

The user with “Play” access, should be able to join their own private server.

Actual Result

They’re unable to join the server.

It’s weird how Roblox didn’t go over this when configuring the permissions for those on Team Create.

But yet, I seem to be experiencing this when attempting to play a test game under my Developer account.

We followed the steps but weren’t able to reproduce the issue. Could you try again just to make sure it wasn’t a temporary issue?

This issue still occurs.

It’s not me that can’t join, it would be users with Collaborate Play access. That’s the test.
