Region-level user permissions
Learn how to assign advanced Region-level permissions to your teammates, and take full advantage of Breakroom's powerful Region editing and event management tools.
Overview
There are two categories of special user permissions that you can assign to teammates, event coordinators, or end users—World-level permissions, and Region-level permissions. It is important to note that these two categories are distinct, with their own separate spheres of influence and control. On this page, we will discuss Region-level user types.
Only World Owners and World Administrators can access the Dashboard.
Region-level user types
Users with advanced Region-level permissions have powers that apply to individual Regions within your World. These users can assist with setting up individual Regions and moderating events, but cannot access the Dashboard in order to manage user accounts, approve content submitted to Curator, or change your World-level settings unless you have also assigned them advanced World-level permissions.
It may be helpful to think of advanced Region-level permissions as those you can assign and manage through the Region Information window.
In brief, the current Region-level user types are:
Region Owners have absolute control over the Region and its settings.
Region Owners can:
Access the Region moderator tools.
Access the Region Editor.
Access the Region Information window and edit the Region settings.
Manage the Region member list and deal with disruptive users.
Assign other users advanced Region-level permissions.
Assigning and revoking advanced Region-level permissions
To assign advanced Region-level permissions to individual users, follow the steps below.
Log in to your Breakroom World and navigate your avatar to the Region you would like to edit.
Click the Region Information button located above the mini map.
Click on the Members tab in the Region Information window.
Click the Add Members button to open the "Add new members" dialog box. Locate the user you want to whitelist by using the search field, and then click the Add button beside their name.
Once the user is added to the Region members list, check the box next to their name and then click on the Set Role drop-down menu. From this menu, select the permissions level you'd like to assign the user.
To revoke advanced Region-level permissions, repeat the steps above and select a new role (e.g. Member or Guest). You can learn more about managing Region members in our Building New Worlds section.
Removing Region members
To remove a user from the Region members list entirely, follow these steps.
Click the Region Information button located above the mini map.
Click on the Members tab in the Region Information window, and use the search field to search for the user's name.
Once you locate the user you want to remove, click the Edit button located to the right of their name. In the action menu that appears, click Delete.
Assigning Region control to a group
By enabling the "Groups Only" Region access option, you can assign control over a Region to one or more groups. When a Region is set to "Groups Only," then the group member lists will override the Region's existing members list, including any Region members with advanced permissions.
This means that only Group Administrators, Group Moderators, Group Developers, etc. will be able to exercise their powers over the Region as a whole. Additionally, only group members will be permitted to visit the Region. Any users in the Region member list will be ignored.
To disable group control over the Region, choose a different Region access option. Doing so will restore access and advanced permissions to any users in the Region members list.
