Noob question about advanced fog of war and token control

Hi there, I realize this is a noob question, but I searched everywhere for it and I simply can't figure it out. I am using advanced fog of war to completely blacken a map. I have given tokens a 30/15/360 light emit radius. My player who I am testing the setup with has placed his token on the map from the Journal. I have checked in the Token's settings, and it has the correct light emittance. Everything looks as it should on my end. However, player can see neither token nor light radius. Now I don't know for sure what's going on, but I suspect that the player doesn't actually have control per se of the token. What am I doing wrong here?

Do you have dynamic lighting turned on for that page? Specifically, the first two boxes?
Yep.

Then let's try the other Usual Suspect: Do you have regular Fog of War turned off?
Sir, yes sir.
My guess? "Token Has Sight" is off. Try (as GM) selecting the token, then click CTRL-L to see what the token can see.

That removed the token's sight on the GM client and nothing happened on the player client. Pressing CTRL-L again after that does nothing (doesn't restore sight to the token on the GM client either).

Strange. You as a GM don't see the light either. Let's make sure other settings are as needed: "Has sight" should be checked on, Angle should be 360° and Multiplier should be 1x. Edit: Wait... the player can't even see his token? That's odd. Even with no sight he should be able to see his token. Have you accidentily moved it to gm layer? If not, check the "Controlled by" field if the player actually has control over this token.
Aaah, I think I know where I done goofed. I had set sight to some tokens but not to all, apparantly. Now it works! Thanks for the help as well as the patience!
