Player dropped from game in progress; how to add him back in

A player lost connection and was dropped from the game. Is there a way to add the player back into the game as GM? The only way that I knew how to get it to work was to close out the game and restart the game again with a new email invitation.

From the Game Management page of your Game, you can click Invite Players to get a dialog with a link to the game that can be shared, or a place to invite players by email address: See:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Game_Management#Joined_Pla" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Game_Management#Joined_Pla</a>...

Also, of they only lost connection, they should be able to just doing the game from their my games page. Unless you kicked them when they dropped.

'Not Authorized' relates to the fact that a join link changes if a player is kicked from a game, this is to prevent unwanted users from being able to access the game and requires the new link to be used by any new members. Existing members should be able to log in as normal from their games menu however. Once they have rejoined you will need to promote them to GM again... however none of that should be necessary if they only disconnected due to network issues, it sounds more like they 'left' the game using the 'leave game' option on the game page?
