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 with the app management permissions lets users manage and publish one or more apps, the monetization role with the financial reports permission 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.

Managing user accounts

You can use the Roles and access page to edit, re-invite, and remove users and view their activity logs.

The page lists the email, name, and organization of each user who has been invited to your developer account, their roles, and their current status.

You can search the listed user accounts by email address or user name.

Editing users

You can edit the organization and roles of existing users. To edit a user, click anywhere in the user’s row, update the properties, and then click Save.

Re-sending users invites

If you have the Admin role (or are the root account owner), you can re-send an invite to a user. To do this, click the menu icon on the right-hand side of the user’s row, and then click Resend invite in the shortcut menu.

If you have the Admin role (or are the root account owner), you can remove a user from the developer account. To do this, click the menu icon on the right-hand side of the user’s row, click Remove user in the shortcut menu, and then click Yes in the confirmation dialog.

Removing a user does not affect the user's own Roku developer account. If you need to add the removed user in the future, you must re-invite them.

Viewing user activity logs

If you have the Admin role (or are the root account owner), you can access the user activity log, which tracks the actions taken by each user in the developer account.

The log lists the user’s email address, page they accessed, action taken, subject app, and the date and time of the action.

You can search log entries by email address, page name, action, or app name, and you can sort the entries by clicking the Email, Page, and Channel, and Date headers.
