I'm assuming you're referring to Security Roles for managing access and permissions to various parts of the server. The default set of Roles does not include Developer (as far as I know, see here for the extent of my knowledge and experience), however, I know custom roles can be created somehow.
Per this article, you would need to assign an additional role of Content Manager or Publisher to the user(s) in question. My Reports works too but that's only good if the shared data sources whose cached parameters need to be managed are being accessed solely from within a specified developer's directory.
