I'm looking to make a new campaign on here, but I'm not going to be the DM. Is there a way for me to create a new campaign and set my role to be a player? It's because I have all of the resources on here and our actual DM can't afford them. Alternatively, am I able to share my D&D Beyond content with a group without being the DM of the campaign on here?
Have your DM create the campaign, then send you the link to join. Once you have joined, viewing the campaign will show an option to enable content sharing if you or one of the people in the campaign has a master tier subscription. This will allow sharing of all resources from all members with a character inside it.
Sharing your account is a direct violation of the Terms of Service, but unless you share out copyrighted information to anyone other than your friend, you probably won't get into any trouble. Making up your own setting and sharing it is fine. All the stuff in the Basic Rules compendium is far game. Anything else is technically illegal, but you're not likely to have anyone come after you. Just be a little careful.

You are fully entitled to content share as long as someone in the party has a master tier subscription. All they need to do is enable content sharing from within the campaign (at the moment that is capped to 5 campaigns they can content share with). Once the master tier player has enabled content sharing then everyone in the campaign will have access to any book that any player (or dm) has purchased.
For example, Alan is the DM of the campaign, Brian is a player in the campaign who has the players handbook purchased and volo's guide to monsters, then Cara is also a player and she has the DMs guide and monster manual. Alan creates the campaign and invites the other players, Brian has a master tier subscription with an available slot for sharing, so he enables that. Alan, Brian and Cara now all have access to the players handbook, volo's guide to monsters, the dms guide and the monster manual.
With shared access, you can all read the books and use all the functions as if you'd bought them yourself, the only limitation is that when using the character builder, you have to use it from within the campaign to have the extra character options available.
Same thing I said. Someone has to buy a resource. If you have it, you can share it in private. You can't share it to the general public. Try to make a homebrew item and see. If it's got links to something protected you can't publish it.

This is exactly what I was thinking about. Thanks much!
