Yeah, there are two permissions slots. One gives you control, the other puts it into your journal. They both need to be checked. The wiki has more info: In Player's Journals: By default, only the GM sees Characters in to the N Journal -tab. To allow other Players to see the Character in their N Journal , add their names to the "In Player's Journals"-field. Player names are only available once they've launched the game at least once. You can also choose "All Players" to allow everyone to view the Character. Players who can view the Character will see the Name, Avatar, and any text typed in the Character's Bio & Info field only. They will not have access to the Character Sheet -tab (if applicable) nor the Attributes and Abilities -tab. Can Be Edited & Controlled By: Adding players to "The Controlled By" field gives them the following permissions: They will be able to choose the Character from the "Speak As" drop down menu in the q Text Chat -tab. They will be able to edit the Character's Name , Bio -text field of the Bio & Info - tab. If the game uses a Character Sheet , they will have permission to view AND edit information on Character Sheet -tab. They will be able to control any Token set to Represent this Character. See Linking Token to Character Sheet -guide for more details. You can also choose "All Players" to allow everyone to control or edit the Character entry.
