GM
From Roll20 Wiki
Game Masters , or GM for short, are the ones who can control basically any aspect of a Campaign. The Creator of a game have some unique options only they can access, that can't be given directly to other GMs in a game.
Players have much more limited options on what they can do.
A GM can promote a Player to GM on the Game Settings-page.
If the Creator of the game is a Plus or Pro user, the other GM of the games get access to all these features in-game.
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
- MapChange -- has option to allow players to control what page they see
- (don't remember name) -- allows the player to create new character sheets for themselves
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.
Creator
The Creator of a game has a few things exclusively available to them, which other people promoted to GMs can't do.
This is mostly related to General & Default settings that are accessed in the menus outside the game: Game Management
- Only the Game creator can change the Character Sheet Template used in a game.
- Only the Game creator can change what i Compendium, if any, can be used, and whether the Creator shares their compendium access to the other people in the game.
- Only the Game creator can change what API are installed in the game.
- (??) only creator can delete/copy a game
