Anypoint Platform enables you to create and use different environments, such as production, QA, or
Dev, to manage your deployments. Regardless of the deployment option you use, you deploy an
application into a specific environment.

Servers and applications are always associated with a particular environment and are visible only
from within the environment where they are created. Each environment requires a different set of
[permissions](https://docs.mulesoft.com/access-management/managing-permissions), enabling you to divide roles clearly
between the different teams of your organization.

After an application is tested in a sandbox environment and is ready for production, you can promote
it directly to a production environment, without uploading the application again.

## Switch Environments Using Runtime Manager

If you have multiple environments in your organization, you can switch between them. From any
application in Anypoint Platform, you can switch to a different environment.
