Help with allowing players to participate in combat without GM present

I am running some PBP games right now and attempting to use Foundry on the Forge for combat. We will use Discord for RP and exploration, then for combat, players can sign in to the Froge, make their move, and sign out.

I’m using an unpause macro so that the PCs can unpause the game when I’m not there. However, it appears that they are having issues attacking the other token without me signed in. It’s weird because it seems like it worked once or twice but now it doesn’t let them do any attacks without me present.

I can bump their permission to assistant gm and it seems to fix it but then obviously they have way too many permissions available to them at that point.

Does anyone have a recommendation in getting around this and making it work?
