Who can see what

Five visibility levels, and one rule the app never breaks.

A campaign is full of things that must not be seen yet. DMRealm treats that as a core feature rather than a setting you remember to check.

The levels#

  • Public — anyone, including people with no account, if the realm is published.
  • Private — you and the people you have given access.
  • DM-only — hidden from players entirely.
  • Specific people or groups — visible to exactly who you name.
  • Private draft — where new and AI-generated material lands until you decide what to do with it.

Visibility and roles are separate#

A role sets what someone can do; visibility sets what they can see. Keeping them apart is deliberate — a trusted co-writer with full edit rights still should not see the reveal you have not written toward yet.

Down to the section#

Visibility is not only per record. A single write-up can hold a section your players read and a section only you see, sitting one above the other — an NPC's public reputation and their real allegiance on one screen.
