User roles on app teams

Abstract

Bitrise apps have user roles defined on their team. They limit what you can and cannot do with an application. The same user can have different roles on different apps.

Roles are very important on Bitrise. They limit what actions a user can and cannot perform on an application.

Roles work on an app basis: the same user can have different roles on different applications.

Workspace members - both viewers and managers - can be assigned to an app’s team either individually or in a Workspace group.

There are four types of roles that you can assign to a user on an app's team:

In addition, each app has Owners.

Owners

Bitrise apps are owned by Workspaces. On the app's team, users who are owners in the Workspace have the owner access right to the app.

Owners have unlimited access to apps. Only owners can destroy apps or transfer the ownership of apps, and only they have access to payment information.

Admins

Here’s the role cheatsheet for admins of an app's team:

An admin cannot delete an app but can invite other members to work on the app. The admin can also give admin rights to other users - however, they cannot transfer ownership of the app!

Release manager role

Admins are also granted the Release manager role by default. They can also grant Release manager acccess to other users: Granting Release manager rights.

Developers

Here’s the role cheatsheet for developers:

Developers cannot change team member roles, add new team members, remove existing team members or create, edit or delete workflows. They can, however, run builds and view build logs.

They have no access to sensitive data such as payment information, access tokens or even webhooks.

DevOps Engineers

Here's the role cheatsheet for DevOps Engineers:

DevOps Engineers can do everything that Developers can, and in addition to that, they can also edit Workflows. They can't access the app settings, manage team members or billing, and they can't delete the app.

Testers/QA

Here’s the role cheatsheet for testers/QA:

Testers can only view builds. They cannot access build logs and they cannot modify the app in any way or form.
