Want to work on an app but don't have access to it? No problem. We'll show you how to ask for access.

## Before you begin

First things first, you need the right access to get involved. Your system administrator must give you the role of sn_creatorstudio.user or sn_creatorstudio.restricted_user.

## About this task

Getting permission to work on an app delegates you to its development, which means you can start pitching in and making things happen. For more information, see [Delegated development and deployment](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/vDKOixlDEFKFULbsD2GEgg "Delegated development allows designated users without a system admin role to develop or deploy applications on the ServiceNow AI Platform.").  
Note:  
Admins don't see the Request access option because their permissions enable them to access all apps.

## Procedure

1. Head over to Creator Studio by going to AllApp EngineCreator Studio.  
   You'll see a list of all the apps built in Creator Studio right there on the home page.
2. Look for the app you want to help with and select its Request access link.  
   Figure 1. Request access
3. **Optional:** Use the Enter an optional message field if you want to leave a little note explaining why you're interested in joining the app. Maybe you've got some great ideas, or just want to learn the process.
4. Once you're ready, select the Request access button.

## Result

With any luck, the App Engine admin will approve your request, and you'll be in! Then, it's time to roll up your sleeves and start working on the app.  
Note:  
Users with a delegated developer role are automatically approved for collaboration.

## What to do next

Important:  
After your request to join an app gets approved, you must sign out of the ServiceNow AI Platform and then sign back in to access the app.

If your organization uses App Engine Management Center (AEMC), App Engine admins approve collaboration requests there.

If your organization doesn't have AEMC, admins approve requests to join apps in the Collaboration Tasks table. For more information, see [Approve a collaboration request](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/iOsA9I7MI5bjoy0HeoYX2A "Admins and App Engine admin can review and approve (or reject) people's requests to join an app's development in Creator Studio.").
