How would one implement collaborator rights that are different between the Development and Live modes of a bubble app? For example, I need a collaborator to view and edit data in Development but that same collaborator should not have access to any data in the Live environment. Unless I am missing something - which is quite possible - the settable options on the collaboration tab do not seem to distinguish between Development and Live modes. I appreciate any insights. ---

@Emmanuel, may I direct my question to you? I am getting close to going live and need to restrict my collaborator to seeing development data only. I need to ensure that He/she cannot see what users enter and upload in Live/Production. ---

You could potentially copy the app each time, and swap the Domain. A bit hacky, but it would mean dev/test on one App, with collaborators, and then copy to Live with none. ---

I much appreciate the workaround idea. That might work for us initially. A little concerned about the “each time” piece; I anticipate ongoing deployments and human error conspiring with Murphy’s Law. Thank you for the quick response! ---

So this is not something we currently support, but we’ll look at what we can do in the coming weeks, that’s a reasonable thing to add. ---

That would be terrific. Thank you. ---

We just added this > [@\[New Feature\] Development Only Permission](http://forum.bubble.io/t/new-feature-development-only-permission/26296): > > Hello, We just added an evolution to the permissions section of the settings tab. You can now, if you are an admin on an app, restrict a user’s permissions to only see and modify the Development version of the application. ---
