This feature is currently available in Heroku Enterprise.
App permissions enable you to grant fine-grained permissions to team members and collaborators on a per-app basis. They provide access controls for:
- Guarding and monitoring changes to production apps
- Restricting which changes can be made to an app
- Managing the types of resources that users can access
See App Permissions for a list of actions allowed by each permission. This article covers how to assign permissions to users.
View and Set App Permissions
To set app permissions, you must either:
- Already have the
managepermission for the app - Have the
adminrole for your team
You can view and assign app permissions to team members or collaborators using the Heroku Dashboard or the Heroku CLI.
