Studio Application Access without Admin Role?

[J Benson]

Hello Experts, 

We've been tasked with creating a new group/role for developers that minimizes the amount of 'admin' permissions the members would have. We're in essence creating a new role following this KB and housing it in a newly created group (we maintain our permissions via group, not role). 

One of the requirements I'm struggling with is granting members access to the Studio Application. According to ServiceNow's documentation the required role is Admin, which is precisely what we're trying to avoid giving users. How would I go about granting a new role or group access to view/create the Studio Application?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Those users would use the App Engine Studio: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/rome-application-development/page/build/app-engine-studio/concept...

Hi James,

Allen is correct by using AES. But what if you don't want to use AES? The other way to handle it is by using Delegated Developer functionality. The only drawback is that you have to create the Scoped Application 1st before granting the delegate developer roles. You can't create a "delegate developer" group because the roles are made per application and are unique to that application.
