Friend List in Dashboard

Is there a way of seeing a players friends on the dashboard? Also when using the api calls I noticed that there is no need to put what playfabid that is assigning the friend. So when I call the GetFriendList call on the website it turns out none. There is also no way of removing a friend through the website calls. When I call the api calls in game it works but I have no way of checking.

Also is there a way of checking if a player is online? Maybe in the login calls and then having a logout call when the player logs out or gets disconnected.

In general, I would recommend that separate discussions be posted in distinct threads, to prevent confusion.

For friends in the Game Manager, there was actually one other post requesting this, here: https://community.playfab.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/206730137-Tab-for-friends-of-players. The recommendation here would be that users vote up the previous request, so that we can more easily see its aggregate votes.

For the Add/Remove friend calls in the API docs, the "Try It Now" functionality is designed for you to be able to validate the logic, and it uses a player entity with your title which, while consistent, is not going to be a specific player from your game. So if you use AddFriends and then GetFriendsList, you'll see that the player(s) you added are in the list (and so would then show up in a call to get a friend leaderboard).

For player online status,there are a couple of threads I would recommend reviewing.

Friends for the player are now in the Game Manager dashboard.
