Roblox My Prison Co-Op Tested: Visual Proof of What Friends Can and Cannot Do
By Sarah Jenkins
To bring your squad inside your walls without having automated defense systems treat them as intruders, you must configure your plot access correctly. Follow these precise steps inside the current client:
First, load into an active server, or preferably a free Roblox private server, with your friend. Approach the front boundary of your property. Look at the left side of your heads-up display and select the Settings (Gear) icon. Scroll through the dialogue box until you reach the Plot Permissions menu.
By default, public access allows anyone to wander through your open lobby corridors. Change this setting to Friends Only or Whitelist Only. When your friend steps onto your plot threshold, click their avatar name to grant them Visitor Access. This prevents automated security doors from slamming shut on them. It also allows them to move freely through your armory, cell blocks, and processing yards without setting off lockdown sirens.
