--- title: Groups (teams) description: Explains Roblox groups and how to collaborate with multiple creators on the same experience. --- A Roblox **group** allows multiple creators to work on the same experience, use the same assets, share profits, and give credit to all contributors. Group ownership of experiences 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](https://www.roblox.com/communities) pages, but improved workflows and options for [configuring roles/permissions](#roles-and-permissions) and inviting members are only available on the [Creator Dashboard](https://create.roblox.com/dashboard/creations). Before creating a group, carefully read through the [rules and expectations](./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 **+** button. Create Group button on the Creator Dashboard 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. 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](https://www.roblox.com/communities) 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. 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, select **Settings** under the group's name, then select **Roles**. 3. For each role, carefully confirm the permissions under the **Permissions** tab. Permissions tab indicated for a group role on the Creator Dashboard. Group Permissions

4. Click the **Save Changes** button to apply the permission settings. 5. Click the **Settings** tab and choose a color for the role, then click **Save Changes**. Settings tab indicated for a group role on the Creator Dashboard. Color options indicated for a group role on the Creator Dashboard. 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](#roles-and-permissions) 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.
Add members button indicated for a group role on the Creator Dashboard.
Collaboration ⟩ Roles ⟩ Members tab
Invite button indicated in the group's Members section on the Creator Dashboard.
Collaboration ⟩ Members ⟩ Member tab
 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. Assign roles to a group member on the Creator Dashboard. To quickly unassign a role from a member, hover over it and click the **×** button. Hover-over showing how to unassign a role from a group member on the Creator Dashboard. Currently, roles configured through the legacy [Groups](https://www.roblox.com/communities) 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. Hover-over showing how to remove a member from a group on the Creator Dashboard. ## 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. 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 experiences that charge for [paid access in local currency](../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. 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‑experience, 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. Consider the following scenario where a group experience **Laser Maze** is split 40%–30%–10% among three members, with a remainder of 20%.
Assuming the experience earns 1000 Robux, the three members receive 400, 300, and 100 Robux respectively (40%–30%–10%). The remaining 200 Robux (20% of the experience 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 experience splits are distributed to group members first, with remainder going factored into group splits for final distribution among the group. Note that revenue from [private server](../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 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](./group-guidelines.md). ## Intellectual property protection Group members with permission to edit all group experiences can enable the [Place Copying](./configure-experiences.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](./configure-experiences.md#allow-copying) setting is disabled before private assets are added.
