Hello,
I am testing the App Collaboration (Manage Collaborators) feature so that I manage scoped app developer permissions.
I found that delegated developers cannot see other developer’s work in App Engine Studio (AES) such as the Standard catalog item Experience. They can only see their own. According to ServiceNow docs, changes should be available to other developers after it's checked-in with Git. It is available to system-wide admins -- they can see all developer’s work.
Therefore, delegated developers would not be able to work on something that other developers worked on. The point of app collaboration should be to allow delegated developers to maintain other developer's work too, not just create new things. However, that's not how it seems to work, unless I'm missing something.
Has anyone been able to get this to work such that a delegated developer can access something created by another developer?
Error when delegated developer tries to access something created by another developer, even after it's committed to source control: unable to fetch variable values for producer (see screenshot).
Steps:
1.) Create scoped app and link to source control
2.) Manually assign user to assignment group: App Engine Studio Users
3.) User automatically inherits role: sn_app_eng_studio.user
4.) Optional: create Collaboration Descriptor
5.) Submit app collaboration request from Manage Collaborators for user
6.) User is automatically approved since they are in AES group (Developer Collaboration Task)
7.) User is automatically given role: delegated_developer
8.) User develops something in scoped app using AES
9.) Only user and system-wide admins (after user commits to source control using studio) can see work
