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

1. 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.)

2. 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.

3. Players can't import characters from their Character Vault, unless the GM have enabled this setting(and the game has Full Vault Access.

4. Players can't control the u Jukebox/music.

5. Players can't access their P Art Library.

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.
