Token context menu does not show for players

This topic seems to pop up regularly – I encounter it just now. Environment: MacOS 10.15.7 & 12.2.1, Firefox 99.01 (= current) on both, Chrome 100.0.4896.88 (only tested on 12.2.1), tried both Logitech mouse and Apple Magic Mouse, The One Ring v2 module & Character sheets. Took all the usual measures (clearing cache, switch off plugins etc.). What happens is this: Logged in as GM I see the context menu on right click as expected, and everything works (except the "Edit" option, but that never worked and I may misunderstand its function). When I switch to player mode, or log in directly as a (different) player, there is no context menu at all. I am not sure which menu items a player should see, but I'd expect at least grouping and to front/to back. "Nothing" definitely seems not enough. Otherwise, players can work in roll20 and use the tokens as expected, character sheet rights management seems to work, tokens cooperate with the associated character sheet as expected. Any ideas, anyone?

"Edit" has been brought up in the past. I believe it is a bit of really unintuitive UI design. It seems to be a heading for the editing functions directly beneath it: Delete: copy, paste, etc. If so, it has misled a lot of people, and probably should be re-examined. And yeah, that whole popup menu is just a GM tool. Players have very little control over such things, probably in order to help the gm maintain control and understanding of the game. "To front/back" got much less useful after the decision to always make sighted, controlled tokens exist on top for the controller. This was don ein order to always allow a player to see their token. The stacking order can appear differently for different players because of this. But grouping does sound like something that should be possible for players, so long as the player controls all selected tokens. Anyway, you're doing nothing incorrect here and your observations are accurate. That's the intended behavior.

I see. Thank you for the fast reply! I'll instruct my players accordingly.
