App Designers (permission group)

App Designers develop and enhance the AgilePoint NX apps over their lifecycle. Different apps can have different App Designers. App Designers work alongside App Owners and other stakeholders to design and develop apps. These users are also responsible for working with a configuration management team to move apps and the corresponding entities, access tokens, and shared variables from one environment to another.

Note: The Application Designers and Citizen Developers roles apply to all apps and entities in a tenant. The App Designers and Entity Designers permission groups apply to specific apps and entities. If the AgilePoint NX Portal settings for permission groups are enabled for an AgilePoint NX tenant, the Application Designers and Citizen Developers roles are ignored, and only the App Designers and Entity Designers permission groups are considered for access to an app or entity. This means that if permission groups are enabled, you must configure permission groups in both App Builder and Data Entities.

"App designer" is sometimes also used as a general term for any AgilePoint NX user who uses App Builder. For more information, refer to app designer.

App Designers

(Permission Group)

App Designers is a permission group for users or groups who have access rights to create, change, or delete a specific app in App Builder.

App Designers can be assigned at the global level or for an individual app:

  • If App Designers are assigned in Manage Center, they have access to all apps.
  • If App Designers are assigned in App Builder, they have access to the individual apps where they are assigned.

An AgilePoint NX tenant can have App Designers assigned at both the global level and assigned to individual apps.

If a specific app has one or more App Designers, this permission group overrides the App Designers configured in Manage Center.

Note: If the AgilePoint NX Portal settings for permission groups are enabled for an AgilePoint NX tenant, the Application Designers and Citizen Developers roles are ignored, and only the App Designers and Entity Designers permission groups are considered for access to an app or entity. This means that if permission groups are enabled, you must configure permission groups in both App Builder and Data Entities.
