Step	Explanation	Reference
Set up security.	For developing and customizing PeopleSoft applications, you need access to the definitions involved, such as fields, records, pages, and so on. Your administrator can provide access by adjusting your definition security settings. Your administrator also might need to grant general PeopleTools permissions for maintaining and upgrading data. These permissions include Build and Data Administration, Change Control, and Upgrade.	See Security Administration: Setting PeopleTools Permissions.
Set up workstations.	PeopleSoft Application Designer is a Microsoft Windows-based program. To run PeopleSoft Application Designer, you must have a supported version of Windows with ample CPU and memory resources. Also, you must use PeopleSoft Configuration Manager to configure your workstation with connectivity to the appropriate database and to set all required environment variables.	See System and Server Administration: Configuring Developer Workstations.
