World availability

Need to restrict access to users with advanced permissions, or want to automatically throw open the doors on a particular date? Breakroom makes it easy to secure the borders of your virtual kingdom.

Overview

Breakroom's World Status toggle allows you to restrict access to your world with the flip of a switch. When your world status is set to Off, only users with advanced permissions will be able to log in. You can also schedule a day and time when your world will automatically become accessible to a larger audience, and post a customized message to keep everyone in the loop.

When your world status is set to Off, only world-level Owners, Administrators, Moderators, and Developers will be able to log in. Members and Guests will no longer have access to your world.
