App owner?

Hi all,

 

I've recently developed an App from Box and the App is created under my account. Does that mean I am the owner of the App? Can the ownership be transferred to a service account such as a non-person's account so that in the case of my account becoming inactive the App won't also become inactive? I have added my colleagues as collaborators and in the App Collaborators section it shows us all as Admins.

 

Thanks,

 

Dennis

Great question! You don't solely own the app when there are other users listed as collaborators. Adding someone as an app collaborator means that those users can see/edit application in their developer console. 

 

As long as someone is always listed as a collaborator the app will not become orphaned in the event one of the other collaborators/you are deleted. 

 

I hope that helped clarify, but please let me know if you have outstanding questions!
