Invite and add Members to an Application

You can set up WSO2 App Factory on premise or use the readily available WSO2 App Cloud. In this use case, let's assume you want to install the App Factory on premise. If you want to use the App Cloud, see the App Cloud documentation.

You invite and add members to your on-premise App Factory instance in 3 steps:

Follow the steps below to install App Factory, invite members and then add them to your application.

1. Follow the steps in Installing On-Premise to install the App Factory.
2. Log in to the organization that you created. You have admin rights to it.

3. Click the Members menu item to add members to your current organization.

4. Give the user names of each member, specify one or more roles and invite. Ideally, you should add application owners, developers, QAs and DevOps members to your organization.
   

   The App Factory's user roles are given below:

   Role Name	Permissions
   CxO	Has all super admin permissions and also the ability to view statistical dashboards.
   Application Owner	All permissions except visibility and configuration capability of databases/data sources in production environment and capability to promote to production.
   Developer	Log in Develop permission Read/write to repository Build Branch repository Deploy to development environment Configure databases in development environment Subscribe to APIs Configure development resources Create, update and delete datasources Promote to testing Visibility to development and testing resources
   QA	Log in Deploy to testing environment Configure databases in testing environment Configure resources in testing environment Update datasources in testing environment Promote to production environment Demote to development environment Visibility to testing environment
   DevOps	Log in Deploy to production environment Configure databases in production environment Configure resources in production environment Update datasources in production environment Promote to production environment Demote to testing environment Retire applications in production environment Visibility to production environments

   Tip: You can assign multiple roles to the same member.

   Tip: If you have a multi-tenanted App Factory setup, the users list is specific to each tenant. There can be different users with the same user name in different tenants.

5. Note that the member is sent an invitation e-mail, which has to be accepted by him/her in order to be added to the Cloud as a registered member.

6. Log in to the Cloud as application owner.
7. The console opens. Click the Add New Application button and create a new Web application.
   
8. Click on the application to open it, go to its Team tab and note that it initially has only one member (you, as the app owner). Click Add Members to add other members.
   
9. Add the other members (typically, developers, QA and DevOps) that you need in your application as follows:
   
   • Provide the username (e-mail) and click Add to List
   • Once all members are added to the list, click Invite to add them all to the application at once
   

10. Refresh the Teams page to see that the members are now added to the application.
    

    Tip: You can delete any member from the application except the application owner.

11. Note that when the newly added members log in to the Cloud, they will see the application you created in step 7 in their dashboard.

You registered an organization and invited its members as the admin, and then added members into your application as the application owner.
