Entity Designers

Entity Designers develop and enhance the entities over their lifecycle. Like Entity Owners, different entities can have different Entity Designers. Entity Designers work with stakeholders to design and develop the entities.

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.

Entity Designers

(Permission Group)

Entity Designers configured in Data Entities is a permission group for users or groups who have access rights to change specific entities.

Entity Designers can be assigned at the global level or for an individual entity:

  • If Entity Designers are assigned in Manage Center, they have access to all entities.
  • If Entity Designers are assigned in Page Builder, they have access to the individual entities where they are assigned.

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

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

Permissions:

Entity Designers have these permissions:

  • View an entity in Data Entities.

    This only applies to entities where the user has Entity Designer permissions or higher. An Entity Designer assigned at the level of a specific entity can not view entities where they do not have Entity Designer permissions.
