How do I grant roles to other people in my Worlds?

Altspace has a Roles and Abilities system. Each person can have multiple roles and their roles can be different depending on where they are. Each role, in turn, gives you one or more abilities. For example, when you're in your own event, you automatically receive the "presenter" and "moderator" roles. With those two roles you will have the ability to kick unruly users, be on stage, and maybe release the confetti. 

1. Edit your World and scroll down to the "In VR" section (How to manage Worlds)
   
2. Edit the "Roles" field if you want to grant specific roles to specific users just for this World. For example, if you want to give me "presenter" + "moderator" and give Calen "moderator", you would add the following and click "Save". The format is "{role},{username or email}" on each line. Username is case-insensitive. 

   presenter,jimmy
   moderator,jimmy
   moderator,calen

3. If you click "Edit" again, you should see the following above the Roles field. Thats how you know updated in the database.

   Presenters: jimmy
   Moderators: jimmy,calen

   In order for the change to take effect in Altspace, you should reset the world, forcing everyone to rejoing. There's a full list of roles below. 
4. Edit the "Contextual Roles" field if you want to grant a role to every one that joins your World. For example, if you want to let people fly and use the megaphone so they can hear each other while far part, add the following:

   pilot,megaphone_only

   After you click "Update" reset the World. Note that this will only affect this World. If you want to grant roles to an entire Universe, edit the same fields on the Universe.

Troubleshooting

• Can I delete roles?
  • Not from the form right now so file a Support request at help.altvr.com and we'll take care of it for you
• Are roles copied when a World is importing from another?
  • No, roles aren't copied
