When viewing an intake request in AEMC, add a user to one or more AES and Creator Studio user groups. Manage which AES and Creator Studio user groups are active in your instance by updating records on the User Groups Permission Types [sn_app_intake_permission_type] table. Test AEMC on a non-production instance to ensure everything works as expected before moving to your production instance. As of Xanadu Store Release 2, open an application in ServiceNow Studio directly from a banner link in App Engine Studio to explore the more advanced application development environment ServiceNow Studio offers. |

As an App Engine Admin, use the App Readiness and Compliance report in AEMC to check if the apps you’re making are ready to go live. You can run an instance scan suite that looks for any issues that can impact app deployments. This feature helps determine if the app is prepared for use in the real world. |
