How to Fix “Not authorized to join this experience due to privacy setting” in Roblox

Are you getting a “Not authorized to join this experience due to privacy setting” in Roblox?

If so, it means that your content maturity setting is too low.

It can also mean that your “Private servers” setting is limited and not set to “Everyone”.

However, you can only change that setting if you’re 13 years old and above.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to fix the “Not authorized to join this experience due to privacy setting” error in Roblox.

How to Fix “Not authorized to join this experience due to privacy setting” in Roblox

To fix “Not authorized to join this experience due to privacy setting” in Roblox, you must be at least 13 years old.

If your age is set to 13 years old or above, you must change the “Private servers” setting to “Everyone”.

Step 1: Change your age to 13 years old or above

  1. Log in to your Roblox account.
  2. Select the gear icon and select “Settings”.
  3. Change your birthday so that your age is 13 years old or above.
  4. Verify your ID and take a selfie of yourself.

Note: Skip this step if you’ve already set your age to 13 years old or above—if you don’t have a valid ID, you must create a new Roblox account and set your birthday to 13 years or above instead.

Step 2: Set the content maturity to the highest

  1. Log in to your Roblox account.
  2. Select the gear icon and select “Settings”.
  3. Select “Privacy & content maturity”.
  4. Select “Content maturity”.
  5. Set the content maturity to the highest (e.g. moderate or restricted).

Step 3: Set the private servers setting to everyone

  1. Log in to your Roblox account.
  2. Select the gear icon and select “Settings”.
  3. Select “Privacy & content maturity”.
  4. Select “Visibility & private servers”.
  5. Select “Private servers”.
  6. Set the private servers setting to “Everyone”.
  7. You can now join private servers!

Note: If you don’t have the “Everyone” option, it means that you’re under 13 years old—you must change your age to above 13 years old or create a new Roblox account to do so.
