Rights Manager

The Rights Manager is an Intellectual Property (IP) management tool that lets rights holders or their authorized representative report unauthorized use of copyright content on Roblox. All rights holders, including those that don't have a presence on Roblox, can use this tool to request the removal of unauthorized experiences, avatar items, and assets hosted on the platform.

Registering Ownership

In order to use the Rights Manager, you must first register either as a rights owner or their authorized representative. This allows Roblox to confirm your legal identity with the creations that you own or represent. You only need to complete this process once.

Roblox requires two forms of verification during the registration process to verify your identity:

  • Government ID verification
  • Email verification

Once verification is complete, Roblox discards any personal data from your documents, excluding your date of birth. Roblox uses your date of birth to ensure that the age on your account is accurate, and doesn't share it with anyone you report for IP infringement. For more information on how Roblox uses this information, see Age ID Verification FAQs.

To register as a rights owner or their authorized representative:

  1. Navigate to the Creator Dashboard.

  2. In the left-hand navigation, select Rights Manager. The Rights Manager landing page displays.

  3. Click the Start Registration button.

  4. Verify your account with your government issued ID and email address, then click the Next button. Each incomplete verification type includes a blue VERIFY button you can click to redirect you to the appropriate location to verify your ID or email.

  5. Fill out every field in the registration form.

    1. In the Rights Holder section, click the Type of rights holder dropdown, then:
      1. If you are filling out the form on behalf of yourself, select I am the rights holder. An additional field displays asking for your full name.
      2. If you are filling out the form on behalf of someone else for whom you are an authorized representative, select I am reporting on behalf of my organization or client. Two additional fields display asking for your full name, and the name of your organization or client. Registration for authorized representatives or on behalf of a client or organization must include a Letter of Authorization.
    2. In the Address section, fill out all required fields.
    3. In the Legal Agreements section,
      1. Enable both checkboxes to declare that all of your information in the registration form is accurate, and that you agree to the Rights Manager Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
      2. In the Signature field, enter your full legal name as your electronic signature.

  6. At the bottom of the page, click the Submit For Review button. A pop-up dialog display displays.

  7. In the pop-up dialog, select the Submit For Review button. Your registration form enters Roblox review, and you can no longer edit your registration details.

Filing IP Removal Request

Once Roblox accepts your registration, you can create IP removal requests for one or more assets, experiences, and avatar items to protect your intellectual property. After you submit an IP removal request, you cannot edit any information within the request while Roblox reviews its content.

To file an IP removal request:

  1. Near the top of the Rights Manager landing page, click the New Removal Request button. A new IP removal request form displays.

  2. Fill out all applicable fields.

    1. If the source of your creation is on Roblox,
      1. In the Your creation section, click the Source of your creation dropdown, then select On Roblox.
      2. In the Link to your creation field, provide a link to your creation on the platform.
    2. If the source of your creation is off Roblox,
      1. In the Your creation section, click the Source of your creation dropdown, then select Outside of Roblox.
      2. (Optional) In the Link to your creation field, provide a link to your creation outside of the platform.
    3. In the Creations you're reporting section, provide up to 250 links to the creations you are reporting.
    4. (Optional) In the Additional details section,
      1. In the Description field, provide any additional information that can help Roblox understand your report. For example, if you are reporting an asset in an experience, provide a screenshot and details of where to find the asset you are reporting.
      2. Click the Upload button or drag and drop a maximum of 6 .pdf, .jpg, or .png files from your device that support your removal request.

  3. At the bottom of the page, click the Add Creation button. The page updates to display a table that provides the reported creation, a link to your creation, a description of how someone infringed on your copyright, and the supporting media files.

  4. (Optional) Add more creations for removal to the same IP removal request.

    1. Add a new creation for removal.

      1. Click the Add Creation button. New fields display above the table.
      2. Fill out the fields using the same process in step 2, then click the Add Creation button. The new reported creation displays in the table.

    2. Duplicate a creation for removal.

      1. In the table of all reported creations, navigate to the reported creation you want to duplicate, then in the Actions column, click the ellipsis button. A contextual menu displays.

      2. In the contextual menu, select Duplicate. A duplicate copy of the reported creation displays above the table.

      3. Edit any field, then click the Add Creation button. The new reported creation displays in the table.

  5. At the bottom of the page, click the Next button. The page updates with new fields.

  6. Fill out every field.

    1. In the General section, navigate to the Request name field, then enter a name that you can later use to search for your IP removal request.
    2. In the Legal Agreements section,
      1. Enable both checkboxes to declare:
        • You have a good faith belief that the use of the content is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law in the manner within the IP removal request.
        • The information in the IP removal request is accurate.
        • You are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the intellectual property rights as is within the IP removal request.
      2. In the Signature field, enter your full legal name as your electronic signature.

  7. At the bottom of the page, click the Submit For Review button. The new IP removal request enters Roblox review.

Reviewing IP Removal Requests

All IP removal requests display within a table on the Rights Manager landing page, and you can review each reported creation's status as Roblox processes your report.

A reported creation can have one of three statuses:

  • Pending – The IP removal request is still under review.
  • Approved – Roblox approved the IP removal request, and removed the infringing content.
  • Rejected – Roblox rejected the IP removal request with a reason for the decision.

If you have reason to believe that a rejected creation is still infringing on you, your client, or your organization's copyrights, you can file a new IP removal request with additional information.
