User who left the game can still edit handouts

As the title says. He came in to watch a game, then left. However, when I select who I give authorization to edit handouts and such, I still see the guy there, and he's definitely not in the campaign anymore. It's not a big issue, just a minor bug, but just thought I'd point it out.

Did you boot him from the campaign or remove him from it aka his icon is gone from the detail page? If he isn't then he still is part of the campaign and can come back into the game board anytime he wants to.

I think this is a bug with how the player list in the GM permissions dropdown is handled, much like how you can't grant someone permissions until they've entered the VTT at least once. I'm not 100% sure on the details of what causes the bug, but I believe it's the difference between someone voluntarily leaving the campaign and getting kicked.

I can comfirm it as last I was working on a character sheet and a player's name showed in the view and edit by box. The player is not a campaign member anymore either. He removed himself.

I believe this is a known issue. Brian is correct. Players that are "kicked" from a game by the GM do not show up on the lists, but players who leave on their own still do. As a work around, you could reinvite them and then kick them yourself, or you could copy the campaign and uncheck the "Players and Players settings" box. The second option is a bit rough, though, since you'd have to invite all your players back to the new campaign, reassign all their tokens, journals, and handouts, and I think they'd have to redo their macros.
Okay, well it's not big deal I can live with that and it's not much of a bother, just thought I'd tell the devs about it. All good if they already know though!
If its me, reinvite and Ill accept for you to kick.
Also note that although they are still listed in the box, they could not actually join the game and do anything unless you re-invite them.
