Release managers
On Bitrise, Release managers are the only ones who can do any end-user-facing actions in Release Management. App admins can add other users as Release managers.
Release Management is open to all team members of an app's team. However, not all members can access all functions. To make sure your release process is in trusted hands, use the Release manager role.
Release manager permissions
Release managers are the only ones who can do any end-user-facing actions in Release Management. This means that only Release managers can:
-
Submit the app for review in the App Store Review stage. This only applies to iOS apps.
-
Release the app on both App Store and Google Play in the release stage.
Team member permissions
All members of an app's team can:
-
Create, configure, and delete a release in Release Management.
-
Upload a release candidate to Google Play or TestFlight.
-
Distribute for testing in TestFlight testing groups and Google Play Testing tracks.
Granting Release manager rights
Apps share permission settings
All of your store apps connected to the same Bitrise app share settings for release managers.
By default, all Admins on an app's team are Release managers. Only Admins can grant the Release manager role to other users on the app's team. To do so:
-
Log in to Bitrise as an Admin on the app's team.
-
From the left sidebar, select Releases.
-
From the Connected apps list, select your app.
-
On the left sidebar of the app's page, select Release managers
-
Find the name of the team member, and toggle the switch on in the Release manager column.
