As a Roblox developer, it is currently impossible to upload a decal to a group and make it not be able to be seen by random users.
This would improve our ability to have giant content updates not get spoiled by random users on twitter.
We want to keep our updates as a suprise! I don’t want someone else to take away the fun of releasing new content
It would help our organization to not have to upload to an alt account to hide our decals from prying eyes.
Currently users on the decal page can simply search our group name, show unavailable items, and they can see all of our decals.
One word groups cannot have their decals ripped this way because someone could have their username be the same as the group, causing it not to return the items from the group.
People already can’t see group inventories, what you’re asking for is a way to hide items you’ve created (which is currently not a feature for users either)
Not necessarily, you can not own items you’ve created, and you can own items you haven’t created. There is an important distinction between the two that applies to both users and groups.
Not quite. It is possible to do so if you modify the URL, albeit not as easy to get to. Regardless, would say this is the next natural step after we just got hiding our user inventories. Too much content is easily accessed with simply digging around inventories of groups, from games preparing for special occasions to major aspects of Roblox events.
In the short term, we just removed the “Show Unavailable Items” checkbox from the Library to make it harder for other users to discover your private assets.
Longer term, we are considering ways to make hard if not impossible to discover or use another user’s private assets without their permission.
