    • Govern app development on the ServiceNow AI Platform.

    Source control

    To enable simple, future proof collaboration for applications, use source control integration. Source control allows an organization to adopt industry standard tool sets while following modern application development and team management paradigms. See the Source Control Integration documentation for more information.

    Source control platforms, such as GitLab and GitHub, align an organization with current and future best practice trends in ServiceNow application development and management. However, some organizations may not be ready to adopt the current source control integration.
    • Branch merging is not currently supported.
    • Corporate Git repositories behind a firewall cannot be directly integrated without additional firewall configuration.

    Delegated development

    Delegated Development allows designated users without the admin role to develop or deploy applications on the ServiceNow AI Platform. Users with the application-specific admin role or the system-level admin role can delegate application development to designated developers at the application level. Delegated developer roles have fewer privileges than admin roles but are still allowed to develop applications.
    Note:
    Delegated development is only available to privately scoped applications.
