  • A system administrator can assign a non-administrator user or group as a developer for a specific application. You can set permissions that designate what specific actions the assigned user can perform in the current instance. You can also make the user a Delegated Admin to grant access to all permissions at once.

    Before you begin

    • Role required: admin or application administrator

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

    • Records required:
      • Application
      • User
      • Group
