What is the Game Manager?

The Game Manager is a web-based, dashboard that provides access to your studios and tools to manage your Titles. It is your go-to destination for managing your studio and title configuration. Most of the tutorials across PlayFab will reference how to accomplish tasks both in Game Manager and through API calls.

PlayFab’s Game Manager provides a fully integrated backend suite that puts you in the driver seat and gives you the option to pick and choose the services that work best for your game.

Use Game Manager to invite teammates to collaborate with you, grant them full or partial access to make changes, configure and manage secret keys, make encryption related settings, and set how much you want to trust your client app.
