Do Players have access to the Token Selection Tool?
As DM I can access the Token Selection Tool, but when my players right-clicked on an image they couldn't. We're looking for a way they can select multiple tokens -- e.g., targeting for a fireball or something.
The Wiki says, "Token Selection Tool: Use the token selection tool to select a group of tokens. The token selection tool can be activated via the Image window toolbar or by right clicking on the image and selecting the Selection Modes->Token Selection Mode. Click and drag the box around the tokens to select. SHIFT-click and drag to drag a freehand region around the tokens to select." but doesn't specify it's GM only.
A follow on... do players also have access to the Image window toolbar? Again, they tried to unlock the image to access the toolbar but couldn't. I'm guessing the answer to both is a setting I, the GM, have to change, but unsure.
My thanks!

CTRL left click is how Ido it. Never used the token selection tool :0

When I was playing in a game from one of the GM‘s in our gaming group, I remember it is possible for players to e.g. select all adventurers at once, e.g. for healing by clicking on the icons on the top of the map. I‘m sure others can describe it better.

The players can access the token selection tools, but the GM must unlock the image for the players to see it. Without unlocking the image, the players can click on the first token, then Shift-Click on the next, and Shift-Click on the next, and so on.

As Andraax says, the players will only get the "Selection Mode" button (3x3 square dots, usually in the top left) if the toolbar is visible. It isn't available to players via the right-click menu, only the toolbar. This will only be visible to the players if the GM also has the toolbar visible visible (unlocked the image).
Also, the Selection Mode button will only allow players to select creatures tagged as Friendly on the combat tracker - they can't select any other tokens, manually or with multi-select.Private Messages: My inbox is forever filling up with PMs. Please don't send me PMs unless they are actually private/personal messages.

The selection tool in general is poorly implemented, it's more of a GM tool given players can't "select" enemy tokens as they're meant only to target them.
The visual indicator is also pretty bad as it's a backing graphic vs one that actually surrounds the token.
I use a work-around, but tbh I hope Jen puts the UI in order. I'd grab a bag of popcorn though and see how to she gets lost in a tangle of lua/xml though
