Manage group roles and members

Last updated on January 21, 2026

Overview

This article guides you through integrating the AccelByte Gaming Services (AGS) Group service into your game client to enable the following functionalities:

• Retrieving group roles
• Allowing group admins to assign and remove member roles

note

Group roles are created in the AGS Admin Portal. For more information, refer to the how-to guide for configuring groups.

Retrieve group roles

To enable your game client to retrieve group roles that exist in your namespace, use this code:

Unreal Engine V1

FApiClientPtr ApiClient = AccelByteOnlineSubsystemPtr->GetApiClient();

FAccelByteModelsLimitOffsetRequest RequestContent = {};
RequestContent.Limit = 100;
RequestContent.Offset = 0;

ApiClient->Group.GetMemberRoles(RequestContent, THandler<FAccelByteModelsGetMemberRolesListResponse>::CreateLambda([](const FAccelByteModelsGetMemberRolesListResponse& Result)
{
    // Do something if GetMemberRoles succeeds
}), FErrorHandler::CreateLambda([](int32 ErrorCode, const FString& ErrorMessage)
{
    // Do something if GetMemberRoles fails
}));

Unity V1

int limit = 100;
int offset = 0;

AccelByteSDK.GetClientRegistry().GetApi().GetGroup().GetMemberRoles(limit, offset, result =>
{
    if (result.IsError)
    {
        // Do something if GetMemberRoles fails
        Debug.Log($"Error GetMemberRoles, Error Code: {result.Error.Code} Error Message: {result.Error.Message}");
        return;
    }
    
    // Do something if GetMemberRoles succeeds
});

Unreal Engine V2

FApiClientPtr ApiClient = AccelByteOnlineSubsystemPtr->GetApiClient();

FAccelByteModelsLimitOffsetRequest RequestContent = {};
RequestContent.Limit = 100;
RequestContent.Offset = 0;

ApiClient->Group.GetAllMemberRoles(RequestContent, THandler<FAccelByteModelsGetMemberRolesListResponse>::CreateLambda([](const FAccelByteModelsGetMemberRolesListResponse& Result)
{
    // Do something if GetAllMemberRoles succeeds
}), FErrorHandler::CreateLambda([](int32 ErrorCode, const FString& ErrorMessage)
{
    // Do something if GetAllMemberRoles fails
}));

C# Extend SDK

var response = sdk.Group.GroupRoles.GetMemberRolesListPublicV2Op
    .SetOffset(0)
    .SetLimit(100)
    .Execute(sdk.Namespace);
if (response != null)
{
    // Do something when successful
}

Go Extend SDK

groupRolesService := &group.GroupRolesService{
    Client:          factory.NewGroupClient(&repository.ConfigRepositoryImpl{}),
    TokenRepository: &repository.TokenRepositoryImpl{},
}
namespace := "mygame"
limit := int64(100)
offset := int64(0)
input := &group_roles.GetMemberRolesListPublicV2Params{
    Namespace: namespace,
    Limit:     &limit,
    Offset:    &offset,
}
result, err := groupRolesService.GetMemberRolesListPublicV2Short(input)

final GroupRoles groupRolesWrapper = new GroupRoles(sdk);

int limit = 100;
int offset = 0;

try {
    response = groupRolesWrapper.getMemberRolesListPublicV2(GetMemberRolesListPublicV2.builder()
            .namespace("<namespace>")
            .limit(limit)
            .offset(offset)
            .build());
} catch (Exception e) {
    // Do something if an error occurs
    return;
}

Python Extend SDK

import accelbyte_py_sdk.api.group as group_service

result, error = group_service.get_member_roles_list_public_v2(

    namespace=namespace,  # optional, gets the value from the global instance if unspecified
    sdk=sdk,  # optional, gets the global instance  if unspecified
)
if error:
    exit(error)

Assign group roles

To enable group admins to assign roles to members, use this code:

Unreal Engine V1

FApiClientPtr ApiClient = AccelByteOnlineSubsystemPtr->GetApiClient();

FString MemberRoleId = "YourMemberRoleId";

FAccelByteModelsUserIdWrapper RequestContent = {};
RequestContent.UserId = "YourUserId";

ApiClient->Group.AssignMemberRole(MemberRoleId, RequestContent, THandler<FAccelByteModelsGetUserGroupInfoResponse>::CreateLambda([](const FAccelByteModelsGetUserGroupInfoResponse& Result)
{
    // Do something if AssignMemberRole succeeds
}), FErrorHandler::CreateLambda([](int32 ErrorCode, const FString& ErrorMessage)
{
    // Do something if AssignMemberRole fails
}));

Unity V1

string memberRoleId = "YourMemberRoleId";
string userId = "YourUserId";

AccelByteSDK.GetClientRegistry().GetApi().GetGroup().AssignRoleToMember(memberRoleId, userId, result =>
{
    if (result.IsError)
    {
        // Do something if AssignRoleToMember fails
        Debug.Log($"Error AssignRoleToMember, Error Code: {result.Error.Code} Error Message: {result.Error.Message}");
        return;
    }
    
    // Do something if AssignRoleToMember succeeds
});

Unreal Engine V2

FApiClientPtr ApiClient = AccelByteOnlineSubsystemPtr->GetApiClient();

FString MemberRoleId = "YourMemberRoleId";
FString GroupId = "YourGroupId";

FAccelByteModelsUserIdWrapper RequestContent = {};
RequestContent.UserId = "YourUserId";

ApiClient->Group.AssignV2MemberRole(MemberRoleId, GroupId, RequestContent, THandler<FAccelByteModelsGetUserGroupInfoResponse>::CreateLambda([](const FAccelByteModelsGetUserGroupInfoResponse& Result)
{
    // Do something if AssignV2MemberRole succeeds
}), FErrorHandler::CreateLambda([](int32 ErrorCode, const FString& ErrorMessage)
{
    // Do something if AssignV2MemberRole fails
}));

Unity V2

string memberRoleId = "YourMemberRoleId";
string userId = "YourUserId";
string groupId = "YourGroupId";

AccelByteSDK.GetClientRegistry().GetApi().GetGroup().AssignRoleToMemberV2(memberRoleId, userId, groupId, result =>
{
    if (result.IsError)
    {
        // Do something if AssignRoleToMemberV2 fails
        Debug.Log($"Error AssignRoleToMemberV2, Error Code: {result.Error.Code} Error Message: {result.Error.Message}");
        return;
    }
    
    // Do something if AssignRoleToMemberV2 succeeds
});

C# Extend SDK

string memberRoleId = "YourMemberRoleId";
string userId = "<user-id>";
string groupId = "<group-id>";

var response = sdk.Group.GroupRoles.UpdateMemberRolePublicV2Op
    .Execute(new ModelsAssignRoleToMemberRequestV1()
    {
        UserId = userId
    }, groupId, memberRoleId, sdk.Namespace);
if (response != null)
{
    // Do something when successful
}

Remove a member's role

To enable group admins to remove a member's role, use this code:

Unreal Engine V1

FApiClientPtr ApiClient = AccelByteOnlineSubsystemPtr->GetApiClient();

FString MemberRoleId = "YourMemberRoleId";

FAccelByteModelsUserIdWrapper RequestContent = {};
RequestContent.UserId = "YourUserId";

ApiClient->Group.DeleteMemberRole(MemberRoleId, RequestContent, FVoidHandler::CreateLambda([]()
{
    // Do something if DeleteMemberRole succeeds
}), FErrorHandler::CreateLambda([](int32 ErrorCode, const FString& ErrorMessage)
{
    // Do something if DeleteMemberRole fails
}));

Unity V1

string memberRoleId = "YourMemberRoleId";
string userId = "YourUserId";

AccelByteSDK.GetClientRegistry().GetApi().GetGroup().RemoveRoleFromMember(memberRoleId, userId, result =>
{
    if (result.IsError)
    {
        // Do something if RemoveRoleFromMember fails
        Debug.Log($"Error RemoveRoleFromMember, Error Code: {result.Error.Code} Error Message: {result.Error.Message}");
        return;
    }
    
    // Do something if RemoveRoleFromMember succeeds
});

Unreal Engine V2

FApiClientPtr ApiClient = AccelByteOnlineSubsystemPtr->GetApiClient();

FString MemberRoleId = "YourMemberRoleId";
FString GroupId = "YourGroupId";

FAccelByteModelsUserIdWrapper RequestContent = {};
RequestContent.UserId = "YourUserId";

ApiClient->Group.DeleteV2MemberRole(MemberRoleId, GroupId, RequestContent, FVoidHandler::CreateLambda([]()
{
    // Do something if DeleteV2MemberRole succeeds
}), FErrorHandler::CreateLambda([](int32 ErrorCode, const FString& ErrorMessage)
{
    // Do something if DeleteV2MemberRole fails
}));

    if (result.IsError)
    {
        // Do something if RemoveRoleFromMemberV2 fails
        Debug.Log($"Error RemoveRoleFromMemberV2, Error Code: {result.Error.Code} Error Message: {result.Error.Message}");
        return;
