Set up custom collaboration descriptors

Customize the set of development collaborators you list in App Engine Studio (AES) using Guided Setup.

Before you begin

Role required: admin

About this task

Owner and Editor collaboration descriptors are provided out of the box in AES and have special capabilities. Development permissions included in each descriptor can be configured to your platform needs. You can create custom descriptors as well, in the global scope, so they can be used in AES.

Note:

You should create collaboration descriptors in addition to Owner and Editor in the global scope. If you want collaboration descriptors to appear and be used in AES, you should also set them to standard = TRUE. AES doesn't support collaboration descriptors that are created in custom scopes, and non-standard collaboration descriptors don't render in AES.

Admins or delegated developers who invite collaborators can use these descriptors to delegate different types of work.
