Sign up for Early Access to Server Authority
Hi Creators!
As announced at RDC, Server Authority Early Access is now open! If you’d like access, please simply comment below and we’ll get you added. Details below.
What is Server Authority?
Server Authority is a new, native system designed to help prevent cheating and enable more realistic physics interactions in experiences. In simple terms, it gives creators more control over the game logic on the server, making it much harder for bad actors to exploit the client and ruin the fun for others. This also opens the door to more complex and dynamic experiences with more believable physics.
Watch our talk at RDC25 to learn more.
Why This Matters
This is a big deal for a few key reasons:
-
A Fairer Platform: By giving creators the tools to combat cheating, we’re leveling the playing field and ensuring that skill and strategy are what matter most. This directly addresses a major pain point for our users and will lead to a more positive and engaging experience for everyone.
-
Unlocking New Creative Possibilities: With more realistic and secure physics, creators can build experiences that were previously difficult or impossible to create. Imagine more dynamic worlds that react to players in more believable ways.
-
Building a More Robust Platform: This is a foundational investment in the future of Roblox. A more secure and capable platform benefits everyone, from our creators who can build with more confidence to our users who get to enjoy higher-quality and fairer experiences.
How to Get Access
We’re opening up Server Authority through our new Early Access release program. Simply respond to this post, and we’ll get you added.
Once You’re In
Once admitted, to try out all the new features, follow these steps:
-
Enable the Server Authority early access preview by visiting roblox.com and enabling the preview in the Early Access section of the account settings page. (For more info on Early Access, go here)
Make sure you are signed in with the same account that you used when you signed up for the preview.
-
Head over to the Beta Group for documentation to get started and to file feedback.
Important
-
If you publish games using this API your players will NOT be able to play.
-
This is an early access preview so all APIs, properties and capabilities are subject to change before release. Some capabilities may no longer be available at release or their behavior could be different.
-
If you’d like to wait, we are targeting a Beta release later this year where you can have more confidence that the APIs will not change. There will be no signups for the Beta and everyone will have access to try via Studio.
-
The Early Access survey we originally shared a few months ago is no longer required. That said, if you’ve signed up in the past and still don’t have access, please comment below, and we’ll be sure to give you access.
-
Please allow a couple days for us to process your request.
Thank you!
Roblox Server Authority Team
