A Roblox group allows multiple creators to work on the same experience, use the same assets, share profits, and give credit to all contributors.
Group ownership of experiences help creators collaborate and operate as independent studios. If a conflict arises within your group, Roblox cannot help arbitrate or resolve disagreements.
Creating a New Group
Creating a group costs 100 Robux. To create a group:
- Click the green button to create the new group.
Roles and Permissions
Configuring Roles
Group owners can configure the roles for other members in the group. The default roles are Owner, Admin, Member, and Guest. You can change the names and descriptions for default roles, and you can create additional roles for 25 Robux each. Each role has a Rank value from 0 to 255 (lowest to highest).
To configure roles:
Navigate to the Groups page and select your group.
Click the ⋯ button in the upper-right corner and select Configure Group.
In the left column, select the Roles tab.
To secure your group and its creations, inspect and adjust the permissions for each role. Commonly managed options include:
Members Manage lower‑ranked member ranks Change the role of other members currently assigned to a lower‑ranked role. Accept join requests Accept or deny any pending requests to join the group, assuming the group is currently set to require manual approval. Kick lower‑ranked members Kick out members assigned to lower‑ranked roles. Assets Spend group funds Use the group's funds for certain group‑related actions. Create and edit group experiences Create and edit experiences and assets that are specifically owned by the group. See here for how this setting relates to collaborative sessions. View group experience analytics View analytics for group experiences. See here for details. By default, only the group owner has the Create and edit group experiences permission, a requirement for being a collaborator in a team session. This permission should be granted with care because members who have it may threaten the safety of the group's experiences.
Assigning Roles
If you're the group owner or are assigned to a role with the correct permissions by the group owner, you can edit members in roles ranked lower than your own.
To assign roles:
In the left column, select the Members tab.
Using the drop-down menu below each group member, select a role.
Managing Payouts
You can use groups to share Robux revenue. Group owners can pay contributors by either transferring group funds as a one-time payout or by scheduling recurring payouts. Roblox monitors payouts to prevent fraud and abuse.
To manage payouts:
Navigate to the Groups page and select your group.
Click the ⋯ button in the upper-right corner and select Configure Group.
In the left column, hover over Revenue and then click Payouts.
From the payouts screen, initiate a recurring payout or one‑time payout.
Group owners can configure recurring payouts to automatically share profits when the group earns them. There's a short delay from when the group earns the funds and when they distribute to members. When you change a member's recurring payout, Roblox sends a message notification to that member to inform them of the change.
To configure recurring payouts:
Select the Recurring Payout tab.
Add one or more payout recipients by clicking the Add Payout Recipient button.
Next to each member, enter the percentage of the group's Robux that you would like them to receive every month. To remove them from the payout, click the "trash" button.
After everything looks correct, click Save.
Safety in Group Experiences
Group members with the Create and edit group experiences permission can enable the Place Copying setting for a creation, potentially allowing the entire Roblox community to copy it and use assets within it. The following tips can help you improve the safety and intellectual property protections in group experiences.
- Check that each group role has the correct permissions. If you don't want members with a role to have the editing permissions, disable Create and edit group experiences for that role.
- Confirm that each member is assigned the appropriate role.
- Confirm that Place Copying is disabled before you add assets that you don't want others to copy.
