Delegated Development allows designated users without a system admin role to develop or deploy applications on the ServiceNow AI Platform.

## Delegated Development overview {#exploring-delegated-development__cf-exploring-parent-overview}

If you have the application-specific admin role or the system-level admin role, you can delegate application development to designated developers at the application level.
