You could actually benefit from getting this practice correct in dev.

You're correct when you point out that there are two high level user types. Basic Users and System Administrators.

I'm a proponent permissions granularity, and you can achieve this with Appian.
We scrape the surface of this in a this Appian World presentation.

All of your developers, even in your primary dev environment can be basic users. It's possible to be effective with very few sysadmins.

As Mike Schmitt correctly points out, create your devs as basic users, then layer in the permissions they need to do their work.

For the most part, this is all possible via making your developers Basic users and then using the appropriate Appian groups for permission management, i.e. by adding them to the Designers group, etc.
