Roles
You often see Citizen Developer vs. Professional Developer. The Citizen Developer is usually someone at an organization who knows the business and who uses low-code tools to create business applications which support business processes, takes away manual work and make the business more productive. A Professional Developer typically is someone who writes code using an IDE (integrated development environment) and writes traditional code and extends with code where the low-code takes you no further.
A Maker is someone who uses the low-code tools and create apps, chat bots, automations etc. An Admin typically manages environments, settings and Users etc.
