To clarify. At default, when a GM drops a token down on the tabletop, it doesn't have any permissions set to it by default. A GM never has to assign permissions for him or herself since they have total control over every item in the campaign. In a typical campaign, a GM's monster tokens won't be setup with any player permissions, because they don't want the players being able to move their tokens around or seeing their stats. We also wanted to know what macro you were using because there's a difference between @{target|Attribute} and @{selected|Attribute}. With the "selected" macro you need to have a token selected before you can run the macro, so you'd need token permissions to do this. With the "target" macro you don't need token permissions. You're prompted to choose a token after running the macro and you have the ability to choose ANY token on the tabletop, not just the ones you have control with.
