Unable to grant access to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles

Question

I bought an apple developer account and I'm trying to add a user as admin and grant access to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. But the checkbox is disabled I'm unable to tick it.

Answer 1

I think you have created Apple Developer account as Individual.

To Add other user as Admin with (Certificate, Identifiers & Profiles) access you just need to change your Apple Developer account from Individual to Company / Organisation and then you will be able to grant above access to your added users.

Answer 2

TL;DR:

• You need to enrol on the Apple developer program as an organization, and to do this,
• you need to be legally registered as an organized, because
• you need your "DUNS" number.

Organization account required

Your apple developer account must be an organization to have other developers added via App Store Connect to create their provisioning profiles. It doesn't cost more, it just requires more information / setup.

As per the apple documentation:

Note: If you’re enrolled as an individual and add users in App Store Connect, users receive access only to your content in App Store Connect and are not considered part of your team in the Apple Developer Program.

and

Management of users and roles is done in App Store Connect.

Therefore, you have to be an organization. This does not cost anything extra.

As everyone else, I found Kuldeep's answer useful, but wanted more official documentation.

Although another apple page under "Enrolling in the Apple Developer Program as an individual" says:

If you're an individual or sole proprietor/single-person business, follow these steps to enroll

Company registration required

I called the Apple support team, and the mentioned that they do migrations to Organization accounts for sole proprieters all the time.

You can "try" to find your organization on the DUNS lookup page with valid details. If it doesn't succeed in finding it, it can submit for you.

However, a few days after I submitted the form, I was not given a DUNS number. Instead, I got a reply saying no business exists for this organization. This concludes that you need a business registration. You can see the email at Applying for DUNS Number: 'Apple Tracking Number' and 'Purpose'.

After being on the phone with Apple support, I gave them some constructive feedback: we should have a "team" account, not just "Individual" and "Organization".
