Add or remove people who can work on an app, or change their permissions for the app using the Manage collaborators option.

## Before you begin

Your system administrator needs to assign you the Manage collaborators permission. Admins can also manage collaborators.

## About this task

You can invite collaborators or manage collaborators depending on your permissions for each app. For example, if you have the Invite collaborators permission, you can't change the collaborator type of existing collaborators,
such as Editor or Owner.

## Procedure

1. Go to AllApp EngineCreator Studio to see all the apps on the Creator Studio home page.
2. Find the app you want to manage collaborators for.
3. Access the Collaborators with others modal in one of two ways:
   * From the Creator Studio home page, select the app's more actions icon (![Option to manage collaborators]()) and select Manage collaborators from the menu that appears.
   * Open the app, select the more actions icon (![]()) in the navigation panel, and select Manage collaborators from the menu that appears.

4. Change the permission of existing collaborators in the Collaborator section using the Select descriptor field.
   * Owner changes the user or group to be an owner for the app.
   * Editor changes the user or group to be an editor for the app.
   * Customize permissions enables you to select specific things that users can do with the app. For more information, see [Customized app collaboration permissions in Creator Studio](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/XwJCso2kfryQL4noMcAGtg "When you customize collaboration permissions, you can choose more granular actions and parts of the app that users can work with in Creator Studio.").
   * Remove revokes the user or group's access to work on the app.

   Note:  
   The collaboration descriptor must be in the global scope for it to be used by others.

6. **Optional:** Add any additional collaborators.

   2. Specify the collaboration level in the Select descriptor field.
   3. Select the Send button to start the approval process.

   You can specify as many users and groups as needed.

## Result

Unless you customized permissions, which requires the Save button, your changes are automatically saved when you close the Collaborate with others modal.

## What to do next

Your App Engine admin must then approve the changes to collaborators.
