How to manage developer user accounts?

Modified on Mon, 23 Sep at 11:52 AM

In this guide, we'll explain how to manage users within your developer account using our Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system. This feature allows you to add users to your marketplace account and assign them appropriate roles with specific permissions.

Understanding Roles and Permissions

Our RBAC system categorises developer users into three roles: Owner, Admin, and User. Each role has a distinct set of permissions to ensure appropriate access levels within your developer account.

Roles and Their Permissions:

Owner:

The initial user who signs up is designated as the Owner.
Only one Owner per account.
Full access to all features and settings.
Cannot transfer ownership.

Admin:

Similar to the Owner but cannot modify the Owner's details.
Can manage other Admins and Users.

User:

Restricted access compared to Admins and Owners.
Limited to certain actions as detailed below.

Maximum allowed permissions for each role:

Permission	Owner	Admin	User
View apps	Yes	Yes	Yes
Create and manage apps	Yes	Yes	Yes
Delete apps	Yes	Yes	No
Submit for review	Yes	Yes	Yes
View app earnings	Yes	Yes	No
Create & manage users	Yes	Yes	No
View app dashboard	Yes	Yes	Yes

Managing User Roles and Permissions

Adding Users:

Navigate to Account > User Management
Click on the Add User button.

Enter the new user's details including their email and assign a role (Admin or User).
Adjust the permissions as needed by toggling the available options
Click Submit to add the user.

The user will receive an email containing the activation link. After clicking the link, they will be prompted to set a password. Once the password is set, the developer account will be ready to use.

Editing User Permissions:

As an Owner or Admin, you can modify the permissions for any user (Admins cannot modify Owner details).
Navigate to the user's profile in the Users section and click on 'Edit User' from the menu options.
Adjust the permissions as needed by toggling the available options.
Click Save to apply changes.

Deleting Users:

To delete a user, navigate to the user's profile in the Users section and click on 'Remove User' from the menu options.
Note: Only Owners and Admins can delete users. Users cannot delete other users.
