# Delegate development and deployment permissions to personnel

# Delegate development and deployment permissions to personnel {#ariaid-title1}

* Release version: Xanadu

* Updated August 1, 2024

* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read

A system administrator can assign a non-administrator user or group as a developer or deployment resource for a specific application. You can set permissions that designate what specific actions the assigned user can perform
in the current instance, or make the user a Delegated Admin to grant access to all permissions at once.

## Before you begin

* Role required: admin or application administrator If [Application administration](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/dajbHPuwIB1mduUtm7Gvow "Protect sensitive application data by using application administration to restrict how users acquire application-specific roles.") is enabled, only an
  application administrator of the target application can delegate developers
  to an application. If application administration is not enabled, an admin
  user can delegate developers.

* Records required:
  * Application
  * User
  * Group

2. Select the name of the application to which you want to add developers.  
   The system opens the application record.

These permissions designate the specific actions the assigned user can perform for the application.").
