# Create collaboration descriptors to assign permissions

Create descriptors in the collaboration application so that you can assign
permissions to users or groups.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

Note:  
You should create collaboration descriptors in addition to Owner and Editor in the global scope. If you want collaboration descriptors to appear and be used in AES, you should also set them to <kbd class="ph userinput">standard = TRUE</kbd>. AES doesn't support collaboration descriptors that are created in custom scopes, and non-standard collaboration descriptors don't render in AES.

Use the predefined collaboration descriptors that are standard with activation, or
create a custom collaboration descriptor. Collaboration descriptors enable you to
assign, manage, and monitor delegated development permissions for each application
or uniformly across multiple applications. You can assign each collaborator with one
collaboration descriptor for an application. However, users can have multiple
collaboration descriptors simultaneously if they belong to groups where
collaboration descriptors have been assigned.
