Add developers

Collaborative development supports multiple members within an organization to participate in the development and maintenance of the same app, which is suitable for team collaboration scenarios. Through this feature, team members can view code, configuration information, and release records and perform operations based on their role permissions. The benefits of collaborative development include:
  • Clear division of labor: Different roles have different operation permissions for clearer responsibility allocation.
  • Secure and controllable: Non-collaborative members do not have access to the app by default, ensuring its security.
  • Efficient collaboration: Multiple people can configure and debug the app at the same time, avoiding single-point dependency.
The currently signed-in account must have organization admin or app management permissions.
  1. Sign in to the Developer Console and click the target app to enter its details page.
  2. Click User Management > Add User to add a collaborative member.
  3. In the Add Role Member dialog, select the user to add and the role for that user, and then click Confirm.
