Status of age verification via UDON
Elreen
For better management of invite-only instances, it would be desirable to integrate an Player API call for UDON so that one could query the status of the age verification and have it displayed on a tablet, for example.

Definitely yes

No, this kann be abused to get a persons exact birthday.
When the Status for example switches from Verified to 18
Elreen
SaphiGoat this function is already available on the website, I am interested in the status Hidden, Verified and Verified 18+ or you introduce verified lobbies for all instance types
SaphiGoat
Elreen I don't understand what you mean.
You want the ability to read the hidden age verification status of a user?
Elreen
SaphiGoat No, definitely not, I just want to be able to access the status that you see on the VRC page via udon.
We have to see what the VRC team has planned for the future but 18+ only for groups is semi optimal
18+ for all instance types would also take care of my request
SaphiGoat
Elreen Still, you can use this determine a users real age, so this might a privacy violation.
Since 18+ lobbies are a thing, there's no need for this.
Elreen
SaphiGoat I think you misunderstand me, so far there is only for groups this option not for all other instance types and currently it is not really good to manage events (we are talking about an invite only lobby)
I currently have to look at each user profile individually to check whether 18+ or not, which is extremely time-consuming to simplify this, there are two possibilities: either you set 18+ for all instance types or you give the world creators the opportunity to make the status that you can already see on the website available in game!!!!
SaphiGoat
Elreen Then make just host a Group instance?
The missuse and abuse potential is way to huge.
No profile information, private or public, should ever be readable via UDON or its successor.
Elreen
SaphiGoat then the status should not be readable via the website either!!!
Group instances are not an option as we do not have the possibility to change the group rights at runtime
but I agree with you the data should not be readable so 18+ must be introduced for all instances
SaphiGoat
Elreen there is a difference if you show it in your profile, or you read the profile via script.
The first is the users choice, the second is a privacy violation.
Further up you mentioned: "(we are talking about an invite only lobby)".
Why is there the need then anyways? this makes totally no sense. If you invite the users, then you might already checked them beforehand?

Yes!
Elreen
Or you introduce 18+ lobby options for all instance types
