In a Roll20 game, a player doesn't have access to all the tools as the GM of a game does.

What players can't do

An indicative list of things the players can't do normally. With APIs, you can go above and below these

• character sheets
  • Players can't create their own character sheet, or handouts. The GM must create and assign control of the character/handout to the player(s) for the player to be able to use it. (There exists an API called "Welcome Package" that can automatically do this for players when they join.)
  • Players can't update the image of the Avatar or the Default Token for their Character, nor resize their token. Only the GM can do this.
  • Players can't import characters from their Character Vault, unless the GM have enabled this setting(and the game has Full Vault Access.
• Sidebar
  • Players can't control the u Jukebox/music.
  • Players can't access their P Art Library.
• Players can't change the page their tokens are on

Player permissions

The GM can give the player permissions for certain things, which grants them access to read and/or edit to things. This includes things like:

• Character sheets
• Token -partial control
• handouts

Players can always use the Drawing Tools, and move any Token they control, unless prevented by an API(see below).

API

Some GM-only features can be indirectly be granted to players through using different APIs, such as:

• emas -- Provides player !emas and !as commands.(emote as)
• Roll20 Audio Master -- API commands to manage the u Jukebox

There are also API that can limit players more that normal:

• DryErase – An API that can stop players from drawing on the map, deleting any drawing instantly.
• TokenLock – Allows GMs to selectively lock the movement of Player Tokens.
