Manage Developer Access

To create, update, or delete an App, you must have access to the MongoDB Atlas project that contains the App. App Services determines developer access permissions for a given MongoDB Cloud user based on their assigned project roles.

The following table describes the access permissions associated with a given project role:

Project Role
Access Permissions
Project Owner
Full read-write access for all Apps associated with the project.
All Other Roles
Read-only access for all Apps associated with the project.

Note

For more information about adding users and teams to Atlas, see Atlas Users and Teams.

You cannot directly modify an App without the Project Owner role in your Atlas project. However, this role includes broad permissions that may be too permissive for your organization.

To allow non-owners to modify an App, you can proxy the changes through a source control system or CI/CD pipeline with more fine-grained permissions. For example, you could enable Automatic GitHub Deployment and have developers push changes to the repository instead of directly to the App.
