When I first purchased my DnDbeyond subscription as a DM three of my players created characters on my subscription. The problem is that those three players can view all of my DM resources. I haven't had a problem with them cheating and peaking at modules or any thing but I recently started using the map tools and the characters made on my account can see through the fog of war feature (as if they were the Dm) on my maps. Is there a way to block those three sixth level characters from being able to see every thing.
I’ve only used the maps tool a little bit but not had this problem. There’s DM maps and player maps, you as DM then just turn on fog of war and erase it as the party move around. I had a player log into the maps section so they were viewing it as a player not DM. They couldn’t see anything I didn’t want them to. If they can see through the for of war are they logged in as you? As far as Im aware there’s a button on their character sheet to access maps, and if they are setup in hour campaign this should only be the map you have active

just to check, those three players aren't using your username and pw to log into your account, right? if yes, they just need to get their own logins and join your campaign (not your account). then they'll share your books but not your notes.

unhappy at the way in which we lost individual purchases for one-off subclasses, magic items, and monsters?
tell them you don't like features disappeared quietly in the night: providefeedback!
As stated above, these 3 need to create their own free account. You then Unassign them in the campaign and the 3 claim the characters. That will move them from your account to their own and should address the problem. Also as suggested above, make sure you turn content sharing ON for the campaign, so they can still access all the stuff needed.

Talk to your Players.Talk to your DM. If more people used this advice, there would be 24.74% fewer threads on Tactics, Rules and DM discussions.
Thank you for your reply. The three characters in question were signing in with my user name and password. Now they have there own logins. Problem solved. Thank you for your help.
