Allow developer to change app settings and manage workflows

Description of the feature request

I think that managing app settings and managing workflows are more technical than managing team member roles, so they should be separated.

Use case / for what or how I would use it

Now I need to grant admin access for developers who want to, for ex. clear build cache. And if I do, then they’ll also be able to manage other people roles.

Hi @smartpatient,

So you basically suggest to make the developer the same as admin except the team management feature? Should developers be able to change all other configs/settings of an app (the options which are available on the Settings tab of the app)?

Hi @viktorbenei,

thanks for getting back. Let me rephrase our requirement from a completely different angle.

We separate technical and administrative roles.
Administrative roles usually have access to billing/invoices and user management - ideally, they cannot mess with the setup of workflows.
Technical roles can do basically everything except billing/invoices and user management. Most important, they cannot add new members.
Testers can only use the result of a workflow. Most likely the compiled build.

In the end we don’t care if the roles are called “admin”, “technical”, … We care about keeping developers productive and applying changes when necessary, while not being able to manage users.

Developers should at the very least be able to manage workflows.
Often feature may have a workflow modification component.
Perhaps they need to add a key or an environment variable and update a script in the workflow.
There should be a developer class that can do this.

The should not be able to manage the team

Any news regarding this? This is a much needed feature! Basically just let developers manage workflows but without access to secrets and credentials

Thank you for your patience and for reviving this topic. We are in the middle of taking another look at the Roles and Permissions and Access Control in general, and then we should be able to address this request soon.

I am interested in meeting with customers to understand their needs more, if you are interested please contact me and I can arrange a call to discuss.
