## Permission Summary

Modify App Platform apps

## Required Permissions

To add a permission to a custom role, you must also add its required permissions.

For example, to add a non-read permission for a resource type, you must also add the read permission for that resource type.

The following permissions are required for `app:update`:

| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
| [`app:read`](../../app/read) | View App Platform apps |

## Associated Permissions

Associated permissions are not required, but they support full functionality of the permission they’re associated with.

For example, to create a Droplet, you need `droplet:create`. To tag a Droplet during creation, you additionally need `tag:create`, so `tag:create` is listed as an associated permission for `droplet:create`.

The following permissions are associated with `app:update`:

| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
| [`database:create`](../../database/create) | Create Managed Databases |
| [`database:update`](../../database/update) | Update Managed Databases |
| [`project:read`](../../project/read) | View projects |
