How to Add Developers in Roblox Studio?
Adding developers in Roblox Studio is a simple process. Here are the steps:
Step 1: Create a New Role
To add developers, you need to create a new role in your game. Roles determine what actions users can perform in your game. To create a new role:
- Go to Roles in the Explorer panel
- Click on New Role
- Name your role (e.g., "Developer")

Step 2: Invite Developers
Once you have created a new role, you can invite developers to join your game. To invite developers:
- Go to Roles in the Explorer panel
- Click on the role you created (e.g., "Developer")
- Click on Invite Users
- Enter the usernames or email addresses of the developers you want to invite
- Choose the Invite Type (e.g., "Permanent" or "Temporary")
Step 3: Set Permissions
Permissions determine what actions developers can perform in your game. You can set permissions for each role. Here are some common permissions:
- Build: Allows developers to build and edit objects in your game
- Edit: Allows developers to edit scripts and other game assets
- Manage: Allows developers to manage roles and permissions
- Manage Server: Allows developers to manage the server and configure settings
Step 4: Review and Approve
After inviting developers, you need to review and approve their requests. To do this:
- Go to Roles in the Explorer panel
- Click on the role you created (e.g., "Developer")
- Click on Pending Requests
- Review the requests and approve or deny them as needed
