Promote a Player to Co-GM
One of the great features unlocked by an Ascendant membership is the ability to promote members from the role of "Player" to the role of "Co-GM". This capability matches many real world roleplaying situations where there isn't a single individual running a campaign, or where there are assistants to the primary GM. For the purposes of an Obsidian Portal campaign, a Co-GM has access to nearly all of the same functions as the GM, with a few notable exceptions - such as deleting the campaign (see Delete a Campaign).
To promote a player to co-GM:
- Navigate to the dashboard of the chosen campaign.
- Click on the "Settings" tab.
- Click on the "Players" section header.
- Locate the appropriate player under the "Players" heading.
- Click the "Promote to co-GM" button.
Once you have followed the steps above, a notification will appear across the top of your screen indicating that the player in question has been "Upgraded to co-GM". Given the tremendous amount of power granted with elevation to the role of Co-GM, it is highly advised that you only grant it to trusted individuals. It is also strongly recommended that you routinely use the campaign backup feature to download a backup copy of your campaign's data - in order to avoid unmitigated losses (see Download a Campaign Backup).
