Environments
Each project has prod environment by default. All project members have access to it.
A project administrator can create additional environments and give a project member access to that environment.
Creating additional environments is optional
For example, if you have a test instance of a data warehouse, you can create a test environment and run queries against it.
Environment Connections
Mprove models refer to connections by name. Each connection is tied to one environment. Two or more connections can have the same name but belong to different environments.
Connection names are not unique across environments.
Users with FilesEditor role can switch between environments in UI while working in their Dev repositories.
Environment Variables
If you need environment variables for your use case, please let us know on Github.
