Apple Developer Program Roles Overview

Apple Developer Program Roles Overview

There are three roles that can be assigned to Apple Developer Program members: Team Agent, admin, or member. These roles are used to assign certain responsibilities to a developer, such as accepting program agreements, inviting additional members, creating certificates, and submitting apps to iTunes Connect. The admin and member roles are only available to developers enrolled as an organization, since they may have multiple people on their team.

Team Agent

The Team Agent (the original enrollee) is the primary contact for the development team, and is responsible for accepting all Apple Developer Program agreements as well as renewing memberships.

Admin (company/organization only)

Admins serve as a secondary contact for teams enrolled as an organization. They can invite members to the team, assign roles, and access membership resources and benefits.

Member (company/organization only)

Members have access to membership resources and benefits, such as development certificates, pre‑release software, and technical support.

There is also a "No Access" designation, prohibiting team members from accessing the resources and benefits of a specific program. This allows the Team Agent or an admin to delineate responsibilities between multiple program memberships. Learn more about adding and managing team members
