Configuring settings to automatically apply schema changes
You can configure settings to automatically deploy schema changes that are in an application package that is to be deployed on candidate systems. Configure these settings so that you do not have to apply schema changes if you do not have the privileges to deploy them.
Do the following steps:

AutoDBSchemaChanges dynamic system setting to true to
enable schema changes at the system level.
- In Designer Studio, search for AutoDBSchemaChanges.
- In the dialog box that appears for the search results, click AutoDBSchemaChanges.

- Click Save.
- Add the SchemaImport privilege to your access role to enable schema changes at the user level. For more information, see Specifying privileges for an Access or Role to Object rule.
