Environments are used to aggregate project resources (like repositories and Pipeline sources) to simplify their management.

Artifactory contains two default environments - DEV (Development) and PROD (Production), and additional custom environments can be created for specific projects, or for all projects, as needed. Each repository can be assigned to one environment only. Multiple repositories can be assigned to the same environment.

Custom Environments

Artifactory release 7.53.1 introduces custom environments, a feature that enables you to allocate repositories in ways that best serve the needs of your organization. 

You can create custom environments at the global level, where they are available for users of all projects, or at the project level for the members of that project. At the project level, specific roles can be assigned to custom environments, which enable you to implement a more granular permissions model for that project.

Environment Management Workflow

The following workflow shows how you can create and manage environments.
