Troubleshooting

"You don't have permission to give/remove this role"

  • Verify you are a Game Manager for the game in question
  • Check that you're targeting the correct role name
  • For Wiki Editor: ensure the target user has a Crew/Member/Troubleshooters role for one of your games
  • For Rules role removal: ensure the user has no other game roles remaining

"Cannot remove Rules role"

  • The user must have all other game-related roles removed first
  • Remove Crew/Member and Game Manager roles before removing the Rules role
