Steam workshop visibility and Admin Tag

Questions & Answers
1

Hi! I’m implementing workshop upload function to my unreleased game.

For testing I’ve created new steam account, added it to my steam group and added this group to “Developers & Testers” in workshop Visibility State. In general workshop settings I’ve enabled only "Enable Ready-To-Use Content" and "Enable ISteamUGC for file transfer". Im working with Steamworks.net library.

  1. From my testing account I’m creating an item with function SteamUGC.CreateItem() with EWorkshopFileType.k_EWorkshopFileTypeCommunity option. Then I’m updating this item with SteamUGC.SubmitItemUpdate() function with previously set title, description, content, tags, preview and set visibility with SteamUGC.SetItemVisibility() function with ERemoteStoragePublishedFileVisibility.k_ERemoteStoragePublishedFileVisibilityPublic option. Then I can see that this item "Current visibility: Friends-only". Also I cant make it visible to public from my test account in browser (but can from my admin account). If I run the exact same code from my admin account, item automatically visible to public. Is it normal behavior?
    Should not it be visible to public because of k_ERemoteStoragePublishedFileVisibilityPublic option or regular users just cant make publicly visible items?

  2. I’ve created an Admin Tag and enabled "Allow admin tags to be queried by normal users." Then I marked an item with this tag from admin account. With my test account I cant see anywhere this admin tag and I cant sort any items by this admin tag in browser in workshop. With my test account I can see it only by code with SteamUGC.GetQueryUGCMetadata() function. Is it correct behavior of "Allow admin tags to be queried by normal users."? If so, is there any method to mark workshop item from my admin account that all users can see this mark in browser and only admin can make this mark?
