EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hello, and thank you for reading my post.

I recently started up a corporation with some friends I know from my school. We'd like to begin some introductory mining work, in order to get everyone (including myself) familiarized with EVE. I am the CEO of the corporation that we'll be operating in, and with that title comes the responsibility of ensuring that permissions and access rights are copacetic.

This is the area that I've encountered some trouble in. I've searched through page after page of google results, on every EVE wiki there is, I've thumbed through archived forum posts galore and although I've been able to gather that it is possible (source: http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Roles_and_access_rights "Checking a box for a particular wallet division for a pilot will allow that pilot to take ISK from that wallet division or otherwise use that wallet division as per his other roles. "), I have yet to learn how to actually do it.

So, my question to you, most philanthropic forum-surfer, is: How do I go about giving one member specific access to corporation wallet and hangar divisions, without using the vulgarly broad and clunky predetermined roles that are available to me?

Thank you for your time, and I hope to one day bring my organization up to a level at which it can contribute to the expansion of this deeply intriguing game.

You have 2 options:


1.) You make premade titles firs in your corporation window. Then you give these titles to members.

For instance: Factory Worker (title gives acces to: Rent factory slot, Ability to take stuff from Hangar 1 and 2 and acces to wallet division 2)

Now anybody with the title Factory worker have acces to run corporation production, can take stuff from Hangar 1 and 2 and have acces to 2nd division in corp wallet.

2.) You right click a corp member and give him different roles manually. So you have to tick anything you want to enable him to do. There are general roles (accountant, personal manager etc.), Hangar acces (take - ability to take stuff, querry - see what is in the hangar but not take) and wallet acces (again 2 options, look only or full access)

As for hangar acces there are 3 different options (Headquarters, Base, Other). Headquarters is self explaining, it means if your corp has a office at your headquarters it means people can take stuff there but not from other offices (corp hangars). Base (you can assign to players where they are based from) and limits them to only that office (so no headquarters access)
last is other, it means anything that is not Headquarter.


You can give somebody roles or a title by right clicking them and select edit member.


But personally I would suggest that you and your friends join a corporation that holds more experienced characters, as a corporation filled with new player usually don't last long. As none of the members really have experience in all the stuff EVE has to offer. Best to get into touch with people who do know it and can help you get on your way, you can always later on make your own corp and go there together. This also enables you to see how others run a corp and what problems there might come along the way and if you are in a friendly corp, the CEO might even help you out with questions etc about running a corp.

Running / owning a corp in EVE comes with a lot of work and responsibility. Theft, spies, war decs are only a small portion of stuff you have to worry about. And as new players already have their hands full with learning EVE and all its possibilities, best to let a more experienced player do the hard work.

Thanks for the informative reply, and I've got it all worked out now!

Thanks again, very useful, and I appreciate the instructions on how to actually navigate the game panels.
