About this task

An administrator grants the app_template_admin role to users who will manage template activation, deactivation, and sharing. This role should be granted on non-production instances where App Engine Studio users author and use templates.

To create apps and work with templates in AES, users must be an admin or in the App Engine Studio Users group. If they are in the AES User Limited group, they can only edit existing apps, not create new ones.

  3. On the Roles related list, select Edit.
