TeleportAsync fails: “A specified member cannot join the destination place” - TeleportInitFailed not firing

I’m getting the error:
“A specified Member cannot join the Destination Place”
This occurs consistently when using TeleportAsync or TeleportPartyAsync.

I’m trying to teleport two players:

  • One without edit access permissions to the destination place
  • One with edit access permissions

The teleport only succeeds when both players have edit access. If the player without edit access is included, the teleport fails.
This happens regardless of variables, player states, or platforms.

The destination is an additional place within the same experience, not a separate game.

  • System Information: This happens on all platforms (PC, mobile, Xbox), making it very likely an engine-level bug.
  • Reproduction FIle; TeleportAsyncErrorRepoPlace.rbxl (56.8 KB)

Expected behavior

Players — regardless of Studio edit permissions — should be teleported to the destination place as a group or solo without this error.

If teleportation fails for valid reasons, I expect TeleportInitFailed to fire, but it does not in this case.
