Access to Sitecore XM Cloud applications, including the Deploy app, is governed by roles assigned within the Sitecore Cloud Portal. For a developer to gain access, a user with higher privileges must assign them an appropriate role. The official documentation specifies that both the 'Organization Owner' and 'Organization Admin' roles have the necessary permissions to manage users and their roles. This management task is performed exclusively within the Sitecore Cloud Portal's user management interface, not within the Deploy app itself. Therefore, an Admin or Owner must update the developer's role in the portal to grant them login rights.

B. Organization Admins, in addition to Organization Owners, have the authority to manage user roles and permissions.

C. Role management is a function of the central Sitecore Cloud Portal, not the Deploy app, and is not restricted to only the Owner.

D. User role assignments and updates are managed through the Sitecore Cloud Portal, not directly within the XM Cloud Deploy app.
