Application collaboration

People with admin privileges can manage the permissions of developers collaborating on an application.

Collaboration descriptors

You can use the predefined collaboration descriptors that are standard with activation, or create a custom collaboration descriptor. By using a collaboration descriptor, you can assign, manage, and monitor delegated development permissions.

Tableau 1. Collaboration descriptors

Descriptors	Description
Owner	Owner of the application that manages other collaborators and can delete the application.
Editor	Standard descriptor to invite collaborators.
Custom	Non-standard (custom) descriptor created by the user.

Development permissions

By setting permissions, you can retain control over the system. You assign permissions to developers (or users who deploy applications) so that they can develop or deploy applications.

Application collaboration users

You can assign a collaboration descriptor for an individual by creating an app collaboration user. The user can only be assigned one collaboration descriptor for any application.

Application collaboration groups

You can assign a collaboration descriptor for a group of users by creating an app collaboration group. The group can only be assigned one collaboration descriptor for any application.
