User permissions

Before creating apps and dev stores, you must first configure user permissions for the Dev Dashboard.

If you're a Partner, you'll configure access on the Partner Dashboard. Partner users can be added to the partner organization either as an Owner or as a Staff member. Owners automatically have full access to development tools, but staff members need to have the following permissions explicitly assigned:

• Manage apps: Enables users to create, edit, and delete apps.
• dev store access > Add, archive, and unarchive dev stores: Enables users to create dev stores.

To give a user in your store access to the Dev Dashboard assign them the Apps Developer role.

Anchor to Custom rolesCustom roles

If your store is on the Plus plan you may also create a custom role. There are two permissions that can be assigned:

• Create and manage dev stores: This permission allows users to create, edit, and delete apps. A user with this permission can edit all apps owned by the organization.
• Build and manage apps: This permission allows users to create dev stores, but not production stores. Assigning this permission lets users create dev stores to build and test apps.

A role with both permissions will allow users to access all app development features.
