Change the collaboration access that a user or group has to work on an app in ServiceNow Studio by modifying or customizing their collaboration descriptor.

## Before you begin

Customers that don't have Collaboration installed will not be able to manage delegated development permissions in ServiceNow Studio. Existing delegated development permissions will still be respected within ServiceNow Studio.

Role required: admin or delegated developer

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllApp EngineServiceNow Studio.
2. Find and select the app where you want to modify permissions for collaborators.
3. Access collaboration settings by selecting the collaborators icon (![collaborators icon]()).  
   Figure 1. Access collaboration in ServiceNow Studio
4. Choose the new permission level for the user or group in the Collaborators section of the modal.
5. **Optional:** Customize what the collaborator can do by creating custom permissions.
   1. Select Customize permissions for the user or group in the Collaborators section.  
      Figure 2. Customize collaboration permissions
   2. Choose the permissions you want the group or user to have.  
      For more information on permissions and descriptions, see [Collaboration permissions for ServiceNow Studio](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/lMKSAANTDsBtNTIMpnejlQ "Collaboration permissions determine what delegated developers can do when working on an app in ServiceNow Studio. They can be set by an admin or the app owner.").Figure 3. Customize collaboration permissions
   3. Select Save.

## Result

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. For more information, admins should 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.").
