Adding users to an application
In the Creative Content application, Ren is assigned the role of author. An author is an individual who has permission to both develop and interact with an application.
A user is an individual who only interacts with an application. Ren wants to add his team members to his application as users.
Note: Adding users directly to a Pega PlatformTM application may not be available at all organizations. Please contact your App Factory Coach to learn about your organization's user access policies.
