To use Team Development, application developers must have a set of credentials for each
instance in the Team Development hierarchy.
An instance's placement in the [team development
hierarchy](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/bNy7f5KQYFCrsO535IUFdw "Set up an instance hierarchy that best supports your development life cycle.") determines the credentials it requires.

| Desired Access | Credential Requirements |
|-|-|
| Access to the Team Development application | A user with the admin role on the instance you are accessing |

[Table 1. Credentials for Team Development access]

{#r_GrantingAccessRightsToDevelopers__table_vnz_5jb_bq}  
Note:  
The teamdev_user role does not grant access to the Team Development application and is not intended for developers to work on local development instances. It is intended to grant developers non-admin access to remote instances such as the parent instance or a peer development instance.
