Allow Creator to give CERTAIN GM traits to a player without giving them full on GM.

I mean it how I wrote it. It would be nice as a creator to give certain aspects of being a GM to other trusted players without making them a full on GM. One of the biggest aspects I can think of is allowing a Bard to control the Jukebox if he has music to play as if his character were playing the song but not allowing him full access to all the GM tools such as maps and hidden stuff. Also if there was a semi-GM in charge of making town NPCs that you don't want to share with them the dungeons you have planned out would be another example.

Good suggestion and reasons to use it, TheDwiin. Just to let you know of a possible method, those who are Pro subscriber of Roll20 gets access to Roll20 API and Transmogrifier. With these tools you can accomplish the 2 examples that you mentioned. &nbsp;The API called SoundFX for example, can be used to give your Bard player a Macro button that triggers certain Jukebox sounds. With the Transmogrifier you can let another Player make Maps or set-up Tokens in another game table of yours and then you can Transmogrify (transfer) the pages they set-up into your main game.

The only issues with the workarounds you did propose though is for the API, not everyone knows Javascript. I'm just saying this could be an simpler way to do it, even if it were to require plus or pro.

Definitely. It would be easier and more accessible to Free account holders on the way you said. To ease your mind about one thing though, for the community-created API like Sound FX, you don't need to know Javascript or code at all (except enough to follow the instructions for how to configure any settings in-game such as choosing a Jukebox sound to play). API when using community-created is just copying what someone from the community posted and putting in on your API screen, and click Save, and the newer API's are even One-Click now.
