Manage Relationships in Web Console
In this how-to guide, we will manage a player’s relationships with other players. This guide demonstrates how to manually add and remove a player’s Friends and Followers, and how to add players to their Blocked list.
Prerequisites
Multiple players profiles (either by starting separate players sessions in-game or using different or by selecting Create Player in the Player Manager)
Manage Player Relationships
To manage a player’s relationships, first navigate to the Player Manager in the Web Console. Search for a player or select one from the list of recent players.
Once viewing a player’s profile, select the Relationships tab. In this view you can use the dropdown menu to choose the type of relationship to manage and the Add New Relationship button to add a player to that relationship type.
Below is a description of each relationship type.
A Friend is a relationship that requires opt-in by both players. One player adds the other as a Friend, and the other player must accept the Friend request for them to become Friends. Until the request is accepted, the Friend status remains Pending and is viewable as Incoming or Outgoing in the Player Manager Relationships view.
The Blocked relationship means that a player is unable to be Friends with or Follow the player who has blocked them.
Followers lists players who are following the player in question.
Following lists the players whom the player in question is following.
Add New Relationship
To manually add a new relationship, click Add New Relationship. Enter the ULID of the player you wish to add to the original player’s Friend, Blocked, Follower, or Following list.
Select the relationship type you want to add this player to, and click Submit to confirm.
Locating Player ULID
The Player ULID can be found in the Player Information section of the player’s profile.
Delete an Existing Relationship
You can remove a player from another player’s relationship list by selecting the More Options button in the relationship list and choosing Delete Relationship. You can also select View Player to open that player’s profile in LootLocker.
