A Roblox group allows multiple creators to work on the same game, use the same assets, share profits, and give credit to all contributors.
Group ownership of games helps creators collaborate and operate as independent studios. If a conflict arises within a group, Roblox cannot help arbitrate or resolve disagreements.
Group creation
Creating a group costs 100 Robux. New groups maintain certain capabilities on the legacy Groups pages, but improved workflows and options for configuring roles/permissions and inviting members are only available on the Creator Dashboard.
Before creating a group, carefully read through the rules and expectations for group management.
To create a new group:
Navigate to the Creator Dashboard, expand the account switcher in the upper‑left, and click the + button.
On the Create Group page, upload an image for the group logo and enter the group name.
When ready, click the Purchase button. Once the group is created, you'll be directed to the group profile page where you can modify the group's details, including adding up to three social links.
Roles and permissions
Group members can be assigned one or multiple roles within a group, and each role has permissions which specify the abilities of its members.
Role configuration is only accessible if you're the group owner or you have permission to create, configure, and assign group roles.
Roles created using the legacy Groups pages will continue to operate on the legacy system and can only be managed through the legacy workflow. If permissions were granted to a legacy role, the member will continue to have those permissions, so it's recommended that you revoke permissions/roles in the legacy system and then migrate members to the new system.
From the Creator Dashboard, expand the account switcher in the upper‑left and select the group.
Expand the account switcher again, select Settings under the group's name, then select Roles.
For each role, carefully confirm the permissions under the Permissions tab.

- OPTIONALClick the Settings tab and choose a color for the role, then click Save Changes.
A role's Settings section is also where group owners and members with sufficient permissions can remove a role entirely through the Delete Role button.
Manage members
Member configuration is only accessible if you're the group owner or you have permission to manage other members and their roles.
Once roles have been configured for the group, members can be invited and assigned from either the Members tab within a specific role or from the Collaboration ⟩ Members page.
From the add/invite popup, locate a creator by typing their username into the search field. Creators will be notified when invited to your group (a customizable setting within the creator notification system), or you can copy the group link and share it with invited creators through other means.
Manage roles
To assign roles to a member, hover over their name, click the Add Role button, and then manage roles from the popup.
To quickly unassign a role from a member, hover over it and click the × button.
Currently, roles configured through the legacy Groups pages appear for each member. If permissions were granted to a role through the legacy system, the member will continue to have those permissions, so it's recommended that you revoke permissions/roles in the legacy system and then migrate members to the new system.
Member removal
To remove a member entirely, hover over their name, click the ⋮ button, and then select the removal option. A dialog will appear for you to confirm the action.
Manage payouts
If you're the group owner or you have the correct permission within Group Revenue, you'll find a Payouts page under Finances in the left navigation. Here, you can send one‑time payouts, as well as define percentage splits with other members.
Some groups may not have this page unlocked initially for various reasons, such as the age of the group or insufficient funds to payout.
Payouts cannot be shared across group members for games that charge for paid access in local currency.
One-time payouts
One-time payouts can be made to members in a batch, selecting a set amount for each. Safety features include 2FA challenges, confirmation dialogues, and checks around the eligibility of members being paid.
Once you click the Send Robux button, you can choose payout recipients from the popup or upload a .csv spreadsheet file with the columns userId and payoutInRobux, for example:
| userId | payoutInRobux |
|---|---|
| 012345 | 5000 |
| 098765 | 7000 |
Recurring payouts
Recurring payouts can also be made across the entire group and per‑game, assigning a percentage payout to each member before the remainder enters the group's overall balance.
Consider the following scenario where a group game Laser Maze is split 40%–30%–10% among three members, with a remainder of 20%.
Assuming the game earns 1000 Robux, the three members receive 400, 300, and 100 Robux respectively (40%–30%–10%).
The remaining 200 Robux (20% of the game split) passes onward to the group split percentages, defined at 20%–20%–10% among the same three members; they receive an additional 40, 40, and 20 Robux respectively.
The remaining 100 Robux (50% of the group split) is placed in the group's overall balance.
Note that revenue from private server subscriptions does not change if you adjust split percentages at a later time, meaning that if a player buys a private server subscription, the split percentages at time of purchase will apply to that particular subscription forever (until it is canceled). This policy may be changed in the future.
Group activity history
Group members with the View group activity history permission can view detailed activity such as role changes and publishing actions from the Activity History section under Collaboration on the Creator Dashboard. This is also a useful way for group owners to moderate activity that may violate group guidelines.
Intellectual property protection
Group members with permission to edit all group games can enable the Place Copying setting for a creation, potentially allowing the entire Roblox community to copy it and use assets within it. To help protect intellectual property in a group, the owner or members with sufficient permissions should:
- Confirm that each member is assigned the appropriate role.
- Check that each group role has the correct permissions.
- Confirm that the Place Copying setting is disabled before private assets are added.
