Control who has access to build applications in App Engine Studio (AES) by adding users to AES Users group or the AES User Limited group.

## Before you begin

Role required: user_admin or admin

## About this task

Grant access to build applications in AES by adding users to the App Engine Studio Users group in your organization's development instance. Each group member is automatically assigned the sn_app_eng_studio.user role.

To restrict access so that users can work in App Engine Studio but not create apps or see templates, add users to the App Engine Studio User Limited group.

For more information about the differences between the App Engine Studio Users group and the App Engine Studio User Limited group, see [Configure AES personas and roles](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/6gTs_a3SKIF~v4ktH4NHWg "The responsibilities of your staff are controlled by roles assigned to each member. Personas aren’t explicitly part of App Engine Studio (AES) but administrators assign roles to give team members permission to configure or use AES.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllUser AdministrationGroups.
2. Add users by selecting either the App Engine Studio Users group or the App Engine Studio User Limited group.
   1. In the Group Members related list, select Edit.
   2. On the Edit Members page, move each developer from Collection to Group Members List.
   3. Select Save.
   4. On the group record, select Update.
