Add to applications as developer

This help page is for users in Creator 6. If you are in the older version (Creator 5), click here. Know your Creator version.

Developers are users who have been granted permission by the super admin or admins to edit the application schema in Zoho Creator. Besides editing applications, developers can also be given access to test and publish applications by enabling environment access. You can share an application with developer access either by directly adding a user and assigning them the application with developer access, or by promoting an existing solution-specific user. Follow the steps below to grant developer access to specific applications for users in your Zoho Creator account.

  1. Click on the Users option under the Manage section in the left pane.
