Can I grant developers read permissions on a scoped application in App Engine Studio?

[senon]

Hi Experts！

Is it possible to set read-only access permissions to application files for developers in AES for scope applications?

A developer wants to develop application XXX based on application YYY. However, to prevent unintended changes to the YYY application files, the developer wants to set read-only access permissions to application files for the YYY application.

Best regard.

Thank you for your reply.

The snc_read_only role forces read-only access, which means developer will not be able to create application files.
In other words, developer will not be able to develop application XXX.

Unfortunately, we have found that a role to resolve this issue does not exist in the current version (Yokohama).

We consulted with the person in charge of App Engine at ServiceNow, and they confirmed that there is no role that grants read-only access to application files of a specific application for delegated developers.

While delegated development allows permissions to be configured via source control based on specific functionalities, granting development permissions just to reference an application also enables the creation and modification of application files.

At this time, neither App Engine nor delegated development provides functionality that meets the requirement of developing an application by referencing other applications.
