From GM Forge

In GM Forge there are various places where you can configure the rights to see, edit and delete certain assets, this will describe the nuances and different behaviors these settings have depending on the asset.

General Rules

Unless otherwise specified, these are the general rules for rights settings





Asset Rights

Example of a Rights menu in GM Forge

No Access

You will not have any access to the asset

Visible

You can see the asset, but can not edit any part of it

Rights

You have the rights to editing the asset, but not deleting it

Owner

You have all permissions to the asset





User Rights

Game Master

The person who is running the game, they have full control over the game

Assistant Master

Generally the same as a Game Master, with some minor restrictions involving saving/loading the session.

Trusted Player

This player is considered a trustworthy player and is allowed to share reaction pictures and media (So they can keep it appropriate)

Player

Basic user who can only access what assets they have rights to. They can create characters





Macro Rights

Macros can determine the permission level for a user. Return these values to signal the following rights

0 - 'No Access'

1 - 'Game Master', 'Owner'

2 - 'Assistant Master', 'Rights'

3 - 'Trusted Player', 'Visible'

4 - 'Player'





Special Cases

Boards

Boards are the most unique when it comes to rights. If a player has the 'No Access' right, then they are still allowed to see the board, but only if it exists as a tab.

Players with no access will only see hidden pieces if those pieces have a target attached to them, and the player with 'No Access' has 'Visible' rights to that target. If they have Rights to the piece, then they are permitted to move and edit that piece.

If a player has Visible rights to the board, then they are able to see ALL pieces. If they have Rights to the board then they are permitted to edit everything on the board.

Pages and Notes

Pages and notes can have conditional sections, which means you can attach a macro to determine the visibility of the section (See Pages). Otherwise pages determine their visibility and editing rights normally

Tabs

Only a GM can delete a tab, however you can still control who can see each tab. Tabs are either visible or invisible, so regardless of what permission you put on the tab, if they have access to it then the user can access it.

Handouts

Any handouts you send will be visible only to the person you send it to. But once the popup is closed, there is no way to re-open that handout.
