Delegated Developer cannot see "create new spoke" in Workflow Studio

[brianthomas24]

Hi,

I have a group that is for developers who would be able to create a spoke. This is to use a DemoHub Narrative for Spoke Generation. This group is designed to be non-admin but they are power users and have many of the power roles, sub-admins etc. Whatever I do, I cannot seem to get members of this group to be able to see create new Spoke under Workflow Studio. Any advice?
The users have a lot of roles including delegated_developer, connection admin, all the roles for Flow Designing that I am aware of but this one part still shows as missing from the menu. See picture.
Thank you!

Hi @brianthomas24 

The below Details is from Community and product documentations:

Key Facts about Spoke Creation

1. Only system administrators (admin) can create spokes by default.

   • This is intentional — a spoke is a global app extension and can impact the platform.

2. To delegate spoke creation, you need App Engine Studio / Flow Designer App Creator entitlements.

   • Specifically, roles like:

     • spoke_creator (added in recent releases)

     • sn_fd_spoke_write (older releases)

   • Without these, the “Create Spoke” option is hidden in Workflow Studio.

3. Delegated Developers can:

   • Create/update Flows, Actions, Subflows.

   • Work on existing spokes if they have access.

   •  But they cannot generate a new spoke unless given the spoke-creator entitlement.

4. DemoHub Narrative / spoke generation features are still gated behind the same permission check.

What to Do

• Check roles on the group:

  • Add spoke_creator (if you’re on San Diego+ release)

  • Or add sn_fd_spoke_write (for older releases).

• Confirm the Studio app scope:

  • Users must have access to the application scope where they’re creating the spoke.

  • Add them as developers to that scope via Studio > Manage Developers.

• If still hidden → check system property:

  • com.glideapp.app_creator.spoke_creation.enabled must be true.

  • Sometimes in non-admin environments, this is off.

Summary

Even with delegated_developer + Flow Designer roles, Create Spoke won’t show unless you explicitly grant spoke_creator (or sn_fd_spoke_write) + app developer access.

I found your explanation to be excellent. If I have any follow up questions I will come back.
