Players

To access the Administration, Players screen click Admin in the top navigation menu, then click Players. Most actions available in the Administration Players screen can also be performed in the Game Center under the Players/Teams tab. This screen serves as an alternative option.

The Players screen shows one player record for each time a user plays in a game. Remember, players are users who play in, or participate in, a game. A user is the real person in Gameboard.

Let's say you have a user named Ned-Stark in the Gameboard whose user id is 4b427a66. If Ned has registered for three games in Gameboard, Ned appears on this screen three times: once for each of the three games. Ned will have a unique player id for each time he appears, but his user id is always 4b427a66.

Note

Ned can optionally choose a different player name (for example, EddardS) for each game before beginning play. Therefore, you will see entries on this screen with the same user id (4b427a66, but different player names (Ned-Stark and EddardS).

Search

To search for a player across the whole of Gameboard enter a term into the Search field.

names-pending: filters by those participants whose display names are pending approval or disapproval.

names-disallowed: filters by those participants whose display names have been disapproved.

In the player search results, select the game link to go to that game's Game Center. Select user id, player id, team id, and game id to copy it to the clipboard.
