Guest Access

Guests let you share a single campaign with people who don't have full accounts, for example a player who's only joining one game. A guest is a code-only account: no password, no OIDC, and no access to the library, maps, tokens, audio, or search.

A guest can only see the campaign they were invited to (and its shared resources, wiki, and schedule), and can edit only their own character name, character art, character sheet, session notes, and availability.

Enabling guest access

Guest access is off by default. Turn it on either way:

• In-app: Settings → Authentication → Guest Access.
• Pinned via env: set GUEST_ACCESS_ENABLED to true or false. When set, it overrides the in-app toggle (shown read-only).

Inviting a guest

From a GM campaign (admins and GMs only):

1. Open the members roster and use Guests.
2. Add a guest with a nickname. Each guest gets a unique 10-character invite code. A campaign can have multiple guests.
3. Share the code with the built-in Share button: copy a ready-made message, copy a version for a Discord DM, or open a pre-filled email. The message includes a deep link (/guest?code=…) and the code itself.

Managing guests

• Regenerate a guest's code, invalidating the old one.
• Remove the guest entirely, which deletes their guest account and contributions.

Logging in as a guest

Guests log in from the login screen via Have an invite code?. This works even on OIDC-only servers where password login is disabled. In the app a guest sees the nickname their GM gave them and a GUEST role.

Admin overview

Settings → Users lists every guest account (grouped separately from full users) with its nickname, the campaign it's attached to, and who invited it. From there an admin can convert a guest to a permanent user: give it a username (and a password when password auth is enabled) and it keeps its campaign membership and character.
