Team Identity & Privacy

Team Identity & Privacy controls how the people on your team appear to players. You can show everyone behind a single shared team name (like “Bloxburg Team”), or show real names with a role badge — and you choose which areas of your project this applies to.

This is useful when you’d rather players didn’t see who on your team assigned a bug, replied to a support ticket, or commented on a suggestion — or, on the flip side, when you want players to recognize your staff by a clear badge.

Masking only affects how players see your team. Your teammates and organization admins always see each other’s real names, so nothing changes for the people working inside the project.

The Two Styles

There are two ways your team can appear to players:

  • Shared team persona — everyone on your team shows up under one name and avatar (for example, “Bloxburg Team”). Players can’t tell which team member is which.
  • Real names with a badge — team members keep their real names, optionally decorated with a role badge (like Staff or Lead Dev) so players know they’re talking to the developers.

You can mix these: use the shared persona in some areas and real names elsewhere. You can also give an individual member a different display name to show to players.

Where It Applies

You decide which areas of your project the shared team persona covers:

  • Bugs
  • Suggestions
  • Tickets
  • Project page — the developers shown on your project’s overview page

Anywhere a team member appears in a covered area — as an assignee, a commenter, a reporter, a file uploader, or a watcher — they show up as the shared persona instead of by name.

Setting It Up

Team Identity & Privacy is configured per project by a Developer.

  1. Open your project and go to Settings → General in the project sidebar. On that page, find the **Team Identity & Privacy** card and click Manage Team Identity. (There’s also a shortcut on the Members card on your project overview.)
  2. Turn on Show the team as a shared persona to players.
  3. Under Applies to, tick the areas the shared persona should cover.
  4. Set the Team name shown to players. Leave it blank to use “Your Project Team” automatically.
  5. Optionally upload a Team avatar (PNG, JPEG, or WebP). Leave it blank to use your project’s icon.
  6. Choose Save Team Identity.

That’s all it takes to hide individual team members behind one persona in the areas you selected.

Member Names & Badges

The Member badges section lets you fine-tune how each team member appears:

  • Display name — show a player-facing name that’s different from their real one.
  • Badge — add a short label (like Staff), an icon, and a color that appears next to their name.

As you edit, a live preview shows exactly how the name and badge will look — rendered on both a light and a dark background, so you can pick a badge color that stays readable in either theme before you save.

Which Style Wins Where

The shared team persona always takes priority in the areas it covers. So if you’ve turned on the shared persona for Bugs, every team member appears as the team name there — even someone who also has a personal display name or badge set.

Those per-member display names and badges show up in the areas the shared persona doesn’t cover. In other words:

  • Covered area → the shared team name for everyone.
  • Uncovered area → real names, decorated with any badge or display name you’ve set.

If you want a team member hidden everywhere, make sure every area is ticked under Applies to.

Who Sees the Real Names

  • Players — testers, community members, and anyone viewing your public boards — see whatever masking you’ve configured.
  • Your team — Developers and Support staff — and organization admins always see real names and can open profiles normally, so internal collaboration is unaffected.

Masking is applied consistently across the app: bug and suggestion pages, support tickets, comment threads, notifications, watcher lists, mention menus, your public boards, and even the messages your Discord Bot posts.

Not the Same as Anonymizing Players

Team Identity & Privacy hides your team from players. If you instead want to hide community members’ names from each other, that’s a separate option on the Public Suggestions Board. The two work independently.
