# Groups (teams)

A Roblox **group** allows multiple creators to work on the same game, use the same assets, share profits, and give credit to all contributors.

> **Error:** 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. You can manage its [roles and permissions](#roles-and-permissions) from the [Creator Dashboard](https://create.roblox.com/dashboard/creations) or [Communities](https://www.roblox.com/communities).

> **Warning:** Before creating a group, carefully read through the [rules and expectations](/docs/en-us/projects/group-guidelines.md) for group management.

To create a new group:

1. Navigate to the [Creator Dashboard](https://create.roblox.com/dashboard/creations), expand the account switcher in the upper‑left, and click the **plus (+)** button.
2. On the **Create Group** page, upload an image for the group logo and enter the group name.
3. 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.

> **Warning:** Role configuration is only accessible if you're the group owner or you have permission to create, configure, and assign group roles.

1. From the [Creator Dashboard](https://create.roblox.com/dashboard/creations), expand the account switcher in the upper‑left and select the group.
2. Expand the account switcher again and select **Roles**.
3. For each role, carefully confirm the permissions under the **** tab. Permissions are organized into ****, ****, and **** categories. The sections below describe the permissions available in each category. ### General** General permissions**| **** | Members with this permission can create, edit, delete, reorder, and assign or unassign roles below their highest role. They can only edit permissions they already hold. |
| --- | --- | | **** | Members with this permission can assign or unassign roles below their highest role to any member. | | **** | Members with this permission can invite people to the group and approve join requests. | | **** | Members with this permission can remove members whose highest role is below their own. | | **** | Members with this permission can ban members whose highest role is below their own. | | **** | Members with this permission can configure the group profile. | | **** | Members with this permission can view [group audit logs](#group-audit-logs). | | **** | Members with this permission can manage the group's allies and enemies. | ### Creation****| **** | Members with this role can play all games owned by the group, even if they aren't released to a wider audience.

4. **IMPORTANT** Click the **** button to apply the permission settings.
5. **OPTIONAL** Click the **** tab and choose a color and visibility setting for the role, then click the **** button.
  > **Info:** A role's **** section is also where group owners and members with sufficient permissions can remove a role entirely through the **Delete Role** button.

Roles are listed in hierarchy order: a role higher in the list has more authority than a role below it. This order matters because some permissions only let members manage roles below their own highest role.

Each role is either **public** or **private**. Public roles can be shown on a Community page and in experiences. Private roles are shown only on role and permission management surfaces to authorized members, or to members who hold the private role. Visibility changes where a role appears; it doesn't change the permissions the role grants.

> **Warning:** To grant ****, ****, ****, ****, or ****, you must have two-step verification enabled.
## Manage members

> **Warning:** Member configuration is only accessible if you're the group owner or you have permission to manage other members and their roles.

To manage members from the Creator Dashboard:

1. Expand the account switcher in the upper-left and select the group.
2. Expand the account switcher again and select ****.
3. Use the **Member** tab to search for existing members or filter them by role. Use the **Invited** tab to review pending invitations.

To add a member, click the **** button and search for their username. Roblox notifies invited creators according to their notification preferences. You can also copy the group link and share it directly.

### Manage roles

You can manage role assignments from either the **** page or a specific role:

- On the **** page, click the **plus (+)** button next to a member to open the role menu. To assign a role, click the **plus (+)** button next to it under **Add roles**. To unassign a role, click the **minus (-)** button next to it under **Current roles**, or click the **×** button on an assigned role next to the member's name.
- On the **Roles** page, select a role and open its **** tab. Click the **** button to search for group members and assign them to the role. To unassign a member, click the **minus (-)** button at the end of their row.

### Member removal

To remove a member from the group, click the **⋮** button at the end of their row, select **Kick user**, and confirm the action.

## Manage payouts

If you're the group owner or you have the correct [permission](#roles-and-permissions) 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.

> **Info:** Some groups may not have this page unlocked initially for various reasons, such as the age of the group or insufficient funds to payout.
> **Warning:** Payouts cannot be shared across group members for games that charge for [paid access in local currency](/docs/en-us/production/monetization/paid-access-local-currency.md).
### 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.

![One-time payout button indicated in the Payouts section on the Creator Dashboard.](../assets/creator-dashboard/Group-Payouts-One-Time.png)

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.

![Split payout buttons indicated in the Payouts section on the Creator Dashboard.](../assets/creator-dashboard/Group-Payouts-Split-Options.png)

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.

![Example flowchart of how game splits are distributed to group members first, with remainder going factored into group splits for final distribution among the group.](../assets/creator-dashboard/Group-Payouts-Splits-Example.png)
> **Warning:** Note that revenue from [private server](/docs/en-us/production/monetization/private-servers.md) 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 audit logs

Group members with the **** permission can review group changes using these group management surfaces:

- On the Creator Dashboard, select **Activity History** under **Collaboration**.
- On Communities, open the community's configuration page and select **Audit Log**.

Group owners can use these logs to monitor activity that might violate [group guidelines](/docs/en-us/projects/group-guidelines.md).

## Intellectual property protection

Group members with permission to edit all group games can enable the [Place Copying](/docs/en-us/projects/configure-games.md#allow-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](#manage-roles).
- Check that each group role has the correct [permissions](#roles-and-permissions).
- Confirm that the [Place Copying](/docs/en-us/projects/configure-games.md#allow-copying) setting is disabled before private assets are added.
