If you would like to grant special privileges to certain members, then the RoleSet system is the way to do it! The default group roles are Owner, Admin, Member, and Guest. Custom ranks can be created by clicking the Create Role button in the Roles section of your Configure Group page. For more information, see How to Manage a Group.
How to Assign Roles to Members
As long as you are the group owner or have been assigned to a role with the correct permissions by the group's owner, you can change another user's role by doing the following:
- Click Groups in the navigation bar on the left of the screen
- Find the group in question and click on it
- Click the three dots menu on the right of the page and click Configure Group button
- Click Members
- Find a user you would like to modify
- Click the drop-down box under their picture
- Select the role you would like to assign to that user
Note: you will only be able to change the roles of users that are currently in roles ranked lower than yours. Additionally, you will only be able to promote users to roles ranked lower than yours.
Creating a New Role
If you are the group owner, you can create a brand new role for your members. Each new role will cost 25 Robux, and names cannot be used on more than one role at a time. To create a new role:
- Click Groups in the navigation bar on the left of the screen
- Find the group in question and click on it
- Click the three dots menu on the right of the page and click Configure Group button
- Click Roles in the left column
- Click the green Create Role button
- Fill in the role's name, description, and rank
- Note: Ranks must only include the numbers 1-254. Errors most commonly occur when two or more ranks have the same rank number or rank name. Special characters may also cause group ranks to not update properly.
- Click the green Purchase button
This will create a new role with the default permissions. To edit these permissions and see what each one does, see the following Editing A Role and Its Permissions section.
Note: There is a hard cap of 40 ranks for each group. This includes the "Guest Rank" automatically included for all groups.
Editing a Role and Its Permissions
Group owners can edit roles and their permissions from within the Roles tab of the Configure Group page. Here you can change the name, description, and ranking by editing the corresponding boxes. This will display a window where you can assign special privileges. These are:
