I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable with MineCraft Realms can assist me.
If you *delete* someone from the Whitelist, are they simply not able to log in? Or does it delete their character profile from the server as well (Ie: Their inventory, login/log off position, etc)?
My dilemma is this: I'm a Twitch.TV streamer and first started using MineCraft Realms to get something setup quick. I reached the maximum number of invitations, but when people leave for the day during the stream I wanted to allow other people online - of course I cannot do this unless I remove people from the Whitelist to add the new users. If their player data is deleted, well, then it's not an option.
I also see that you can backup your world. Assuming I cannot "abuse" the Whitelist by removing and adding users at whim, can I backup the world, download it, and upload it to a new server host with everything intact?
MY best suggestion and i think this is the direction you are going is to first notfy the person u are temporarily removing from white list and let them back when you are done rotating people... alll of there stuff will stay on the realm as long as its in chest dont know about if there inventory will stay, but yeah if u remove from white list they cannot login until they are added back on and i think that will be the only way to do what you are trying to to do

Thank you. Although I fully understand that, while not on the whitelist they cannot log in, I am specifically looking for "If I remove them from whitelist, does their inventory/character data get deleted."
On normal servers, the answer is no. But since this is Realms, where a forced limit of 20 on a whitelist is imposed, it may be possible that character data is deleted when removed from the whitelist.
I did some preliminary testing last night and the data was *not* deleted, so this may be a viable option.
