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.
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.
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".
Same issue here,
Client add me as as Admin in Appstore, but they missed to give access for
Access to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles
Once they give Admin access then need to give access for
Access to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles
Or else they delete your account and add it again, that time give access for all.
The details about all the access and user roles are explained at https://developer.apple.com/support/roles/

Is there any difference (e.g. in functionality or anything else) between an Apple Developer Account as Individual and an Apple Developer Account as Company/Organization, except the name in the developers name in the App Store?
1. User access
If you or your client has Organisation account, he can give access to various users (through their email address) without disclosing the credentials of the main account and those users can get access to developer.apple.com too. On the other hand, Individual account do not allow to add any users so one will have to give the main account credentials to developers in order to build an application(create certificates, profile, etc). One can add various users by assigning different roles listed here
Also, 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.
2. Testers
Adding multiple internal testers is possible with organisation program but not with Individual one.
3. Store listing
With individual account, apps are listed with Developer's personal name while in Organisation, they are listed under organisation name. eg Company name LLC
I try to add new account as role admin, I already use an account with role Account Holder but when dialog add admin I can't check to option Access to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles in Developer Resources sector and when I hit Invite it show error like image below.
Does anybody know this error, please help me? I research from google but no luck.
Thanks.
It seems that you are using an Individual Account, aren't you?.
If that, please check on here.
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.

I am trying to beta test my app, but for some reason I can't seem to find the technical role. I am logged in and am the admin and Legal role.
Technical has been replaced with App Manager.
If you look at user in iTunes Connect who has the Technical role it says:
Note: the Technical role will become App Manager. Please remove users from the Technical Role
Well, it might not be strictly about code, but you can't release your app via TestFlight until you get past this mystifying problem.
The problem is caused because Apple will not allow an Apple ID that is associated with a developer account to be used for TestFlight (except for the account owner themselves). In other words, because my Apple ID is associated with my developer account, none of my developer friends can invite that Apple ID to be a TestFlight user. I must instead create a new Apple ID and ask them to invite that one.
The worst part of this particular bit of nonsense is that you use the same mechanism to invite developers and other team mates to work in iTunesConnect with you, and for those roles a developer account is irrelevant. Only being a TestFlight user seems to be affected by whether or not you are using an Apple ID associated with a developer account.
I have an Apple Developer iOS Membership. I have hired a developer to write an iOS app for me. They said they don't have their own account so in order for us to test the app using ad-hoc provisioning we'll need to use my account. When I go to invite users into my account from the Member Center I am given 2 options to add this user as, 1) Admin, 2) Member. Is the correct way to give a developer access and which option should I give them? I want to give the least amount of privileges as possible. I don't want them to access any sensitive account information, just allow them to develop the app and allow for testing.
This is the overview of the roles but I am still not sure which is correct

It depends on what level of involvement you want to have with the project. In order to manage the full development life-cycle for an app you need to create provisioning files, generate certificates for distribution, generate App IDs ect. You can add you developer as a member but in that case many of these functions will have to be done by you as the admin. In the case of certificates (for distribution, push notifications etc) the 'member' can request them but they still need to be approved by an 'admin'.
So, if you want to give the least amount of privileges stick with the 'member option with the understanding that you will need to be involved periodically.
I guess Member is what you should go for.
Our company had contracted out an agency to develop an app. We decided to create an apple developer account and got the agency to transfer out the app to our itunes connect once they had completed the development. I had given them access to manage the application throughout our iTunes Connect and gave them role access as 'Technical'
But they had recently requested us to make them Admin so they can manage our provision profiles so when they ship out more updates to us (not sure if this proper reason or them being sketchy). I am hesitant to make this change because they have access to our apps sales and financial reports (as our app generates revenue on initial app purchase)
Is it a safer to leave the role privilege as-is, 'Technical' and I can simply just provide them the provision profile information if its required? As a developer, what is the pros and cons of having 'Technical' role access? Is there any major limitation?
The provisioning profiles are created via http://developer.apple.com/ , not iTunes Connect, and as far as I am concerned there are three levels of access over there: Admin / Member / Agent, and this is managed via separate admin panel, which can be found in 'Member Center'.
With 'Technical' privileges in iTC you can do everything needed to perform updates on your app/adding new apps/sending messages to App Review team. The only thing I found missing when compared to 'Admin' account was ability to generate promo codes (of course except of all the sales / iAD / Newsstand subscribers data stuff)
