Control who is permitted to use or edit your application by configuring roles in App Engine Studio (AES).
Working with roles
You add security to your application by defining roles. A role is used to limit and control access to your application. The access that you define for a role is granted to all users who are assigned to the role.
An administrator assigns a role to the appropriate user based on the kind of work that the role permits. For example, to enable a manager to read and approve employee requests, an administrator would assign a role that has access to read and update records from the relevant table. The role may also need access to the portal or workspace where the manager would see the request.
Application templates automatically add security to your application. If you use a template to create your application, you can edit the roles that were added or add different roles.

App Engine Studio includes default roles that you can use for your application. Alternatively, you can build custom roles for your application. After you submit your application, an administrator on-boards the requesting team by assigning the roles that you've defined. |
