Delegating deployment permissions

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

Before you begin

• Role required: admin or application administrator

  If Application administration is enabled, only an application administrator of the target application can delegate deployment resources to an application. If application administration isn’t enabled, an admin user can delegate deployment resources.

• System properties control the visibility of the Publish To Update Set and Manage Update Sets permissions. By default, both deployment permissions for update sets are hidden. See Delegated Development System Properties.

• Records required:
  • Application
  • User
  • Group

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > System Applications > My Company Applications.
2. Select the name of the application to which you want to add deployment resources.
   The system opens the application record.
3. Select Manage Developers.
   Note:

   If the App Collaboration Component is installed, the link appears as Manage Collaborators.
   The system displays the Developer Permissions window.

   Note:

   Developer permissions are available only for scoped apps, not global apps.
4. Select the type of developer (or user without system admin roles) you want to assign.

   Option	Description
   Developers	To add individual users as deployment resources.
   Groups	To add all members of a group as deployment resources.

5. In Developer Name or Group Name, enter the name of the user or group you want to grant deployment permissions.
6. Select custom deployment permissions for the application, or select Delegated Admin to grant access to all permissions for the application.
   For details, see Developer permissions.
7. Select Save.
   The system assigns the designated deployment permissions for the application.
