Developer Teams & Developer Apps

What is a Developer Team and Developer Team Apps?

 

Developer vs Developer Team Diagram

 

Developer Teams are enabled for developer portal users who need to share client credentials securely when building solutions that may require setting up a service account.  

Developer Team Apps are available to Developer Teams, granting any Member access to your Client Credentials. In contrast to Developers Apps that have a one-to-one relationship to that user who created the app.

As a Member you can:

  • Add members to your Team by sending an invitation. Invitations are sent to email addresses registered at developer.uscis.gov
