GM Macros Usable by All Players

Hi all, I'm planning on running my first game on roll20 starting tomorrow and just did a test run with a player. We're using White Wolf (World of Darkness) rules and I had set up the following macro Name: 1 /roll {1d10!}>6f1 This way if I wanted to roll 1d10 to determine successes I could just type #1. I then set up the macro up to 15 (for 4 dice type #4, for 7 type #7, etc). It was working fine for me and I thought because I was GM my macros would be universal, but when I did the test run the other player could not type them in. Is there a way I can make these macros available to all (doing a forum search showed me a few posts that made it look possible, but no one explained how)? Having them type them all in seems like a boring intro, and the macros on the character sheet aren't as quick as just having the chat command.

In your macros you can set visibility, set it to 'All Players', you can also click the 'in bar' checkbox to have them visible at all times too. To avoid clutter you can streamline your macros into a single one: /roll {?{How many d10|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15}d10!}>6f1 The only options they can choose from the query are 1-15 but you could expand that or remove the 'drop down' aspect and just have the user fill in the number.
I completely missed that there were more options to scroll down to after selecting a macro so I didn't see the show visibility option. Feel very silly for having missed that. Thank you for the other macro suggestions, they look great.

Note that "In bar" is a personal setting. If your players want them to show in their own bars, they will need to click that setting in their local connection. Altering permissions gives them the ability to see and use the macro, but they control the visibility of it for themselves.
