Are you getting a “You do not have permission to join this experience” error in Roblox?
If you are, you won’t be able to join your friend’s private server.
This is part of the “Account Restrictions” safety feature.
The feature applies to accounts with people under the age of 13.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to fix the “You do not have permission to join this experience” error in Roblox.
Why does it say I don’t have permission to join this experience in Roblox?
Roblox says that you don’t have permission to join the experience because you’ve prevented others from making you a member of their private server in your privacy settings.
If you’re under the age of 13 or parental controls are on, you may not be able to change this setting.
Another reason why you can’t join an experience is that your friend has disabled players from joining it.
This can happen if the “Allow Joining” and “Friends Allowed” settings are disabled.
How to Fix “You do not have permission to join this experience” in Roblox
To fix “You do not have permission to join this experience” in Roblox, you need to allow everyone to make you a member of their private server.
You also need to set “Allowed Experiences” to 17+ and ask your friend to allow players to join their private server.
Fix 1: Allow everyone to make you a member of their private server
- Open Roblox and log in to your account.
- Click on the settings icon and select “Settings”.
- Select “Privacy” on the left sidebar.
- Scroll down to “Other settings”.
- Set “Who can make me a member of their private server?” to “Everyone”.
Note: If you can’t see the “Everyone” option, it means that the option is disabled because you are under 13 years old (if that’s the case, you need to create a new account to join the experience).
Fix 2: Set “Allowed Experiences” to 17+
- Open Roblox and log in to your account.
- Click on the settings icon and select “Settings”.
- Select “Parental Controls” on the left sidebar.
- Set “Allowed Experiences” to 17+.
Note: If you can’t set “Allowed Experiences” to 17+ because you haven’t verified your age, set it to 13+ instead.
Fix 3: Ask your friend to allow players to join their private server
- Open Roblox and log in to your account.
- Click on the Experience where you have a private server.
- Select “Servers” and click on the three dots on your server.
- Select “Configure”.
- Enable “Allow Joining”.
- Enable “Friends Allowed”.
