Step 1: Log in to Your Roku Developer Account

Login to your Roku developer account

Step 2: Navigate to User Management

The Account section in the Developer Dashboard includes two user access management options: User access and Switch account. The User access option is used to grant access to the channels in your account to other users.

Step 3: Grant Admin Access

To grant access to a channel in your account, click User Access, and then click Add a User in the Manage User Access page. If the user being added already has a Roku developer account, they are granted access to the channel immediately.

Roku - Manage User Access

Select Administrator level access

We will require Administrator access to apps@ventunotech.com

Note: An Administrator/owner can empower another developer immediately: just click the Create button after setting the several parameters that are described in the table below:

Email address

Any valid email address can be used. It is ideal to use the address that belongs to an existing Roku developer account.

Roles

A list of roles this user can play. Note that a single user can have more than one role in a given account.

Channels

If one or more Roles being assigned have Channel-level access, this field is used to determine which of the Channels associated with the root account the empowered user should be granted access to. A single user can have access to more than one of the root account's Channels.

Organization

Identifies the affiliation of the empowered user.

Note: When we publish the app on your behalf, you need to verify our developer email ID, when an email notification is sent to you from Roku.

How to Remove Users From Your Roku Developer Console

If you have the Admin role (or are the root account owner), you can remove a user from the developer account.

  • Click the menu icon on the right-hand side of the user’s row

  • Click Remove user in the shortcut menu, and then click Yes in the confirmation dialog.

Removing a user does not affect the user's own Roku developer account. If you need to add the removed users in the future, you must re-invite them.
