User access management in the Developer Dashboard

You can use the Roles and access page in the Developer Dashboard to enable team members to manage your developer account or specific apps within it. A role gives a user a set of one or more permissions to complete specific tasks in your account. Each role has an access level, which determines whether the user can complete tasks for all the apps in your account or just one or more selected apps.

For example, the app management role lets users manage and publish one or more apps, the financial reports role lets users view transaction and sales activity reports for one or more apps in the account, and the administrative role lets users complete all tasks for all apps in the account.

Adding users

To add a user to your developer account and assign them roles and permissions, follow these steps:

In the Developer Dashboard, click User Access from the left sidebar, and then click Invite a user.

In the Invite a user page, enter the following information:

Field	Description
Email	The email address of the user to be added to your developer account.
Organization	The name of the company associated with the Roku developer.
Roles	Select the checkboxes for one or more roles and permissions:

Click Invite.
If the user already has a Roku developer account, they are immediately granted access to your account with their specified role.

If the user does not have a Roku developer account, they receive an email notification from Roku informing them that they have been granted access to your account.

Once the user clicks the accept invite link in the email, they are taken to the Roku Launchpad, where they accept the invite and then select your account. The user can access your account and take actions permitted by their specified role.
