Delegated development allows designated users without a system admin role to develop or deploy applications on the ServiceNow AI Platform.

## Delegated Development overview {#exploring-delegated-development__cf-exploring-parent-overview}

If you have the application-specific admin role or the system-level admin role, you can delegate application development to designated developers at the application level.

## Delegated Development users {#exploring-delegated-development__cf-exploring-parent-users}

| User | Description |
|-|-|
| Admin | Admin user can delegate developers. |
| 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. |
