Add players to "can edit" and "controlled by" option list when they join a campaign, not the first time they log in

Currently, a player needs to have launched the actual Roll20 tabletop for a campaign before the GM can assign character sheets, journal entries, etc to them. This means that, if I want to give a character a character sheet, I need to ask her to log onto the tabletop (whenever she is available), and then I need to log onto the tabletop (possibly a day later), and then the player needs to log back on to fill in any necessary information in her character sheet. This can take several days if the GM's schedule and the player's schedule are both busy. Not to mention it being a little counter-intuitive to explain to first-time Roll20 users. (I logged into the campaign, but I didn't see my character sheet there!) (I am aware of one workaround, which is to create a generic character sheet available to All Players, and then reassign control once the player has made her changes.) It would be great if a player could be automatically added to the Roll20 tabletop database upon being invited to the campaign. This way, I could invite a player and assign character sheets to that player in one sitting.
This is a great idea. I hadn't thought of the workaround you suggested though.
This is now implemented. As soon as a player joins a campaign via the join link, they will immediately be available for assigning things to. Thanks!
