> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/6303) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.3.

## Overview
[Environments](../environments.md) can be used for different reasons:
- Some of them are just for testing.
- Others are for production.

Since deploy jobs can be raised by different users with different roles, it is important that
specific environments are "protected" to prevent unauthorized people from affecting them.
2019-07-07 11:18:12 +05:30
By default, a protected environment does one thing: it ensures that only people
with the right privileges can deploy to it, thus keeping it safe.
NOTE: **Note**:
A GitLab admin is always allowed to use environments, even if they are protected.
To protect, update, or unprotect an environment, you need to have at least
[Maintainer permissions](../../user/permissions.md).
## Protecting environments
To protect an environment:
1. Navigate to your project's **Settings > CI/CD**.
1. Expand the **Protected Environments** section.
1. From the **Environment** dropdown menu, select the environment you want to protect.

1. In the **Allowed to Deploy** dropdown menu, select the role, users, or groups you
want to give deploy access to. Keep in mind that:
- There are two roles to choose from:
- **Maintainers**: will allow access to all maintainers in the project.
- **Developers**: will allow access to all maintainers and all developers in the project.
- You can only select groups that are already associated with the project.
- Only users that have at least Developer permission level will appear in
the **Allowed to Deploy** dropdown menu.

1. Click the **Protect** button.
The protected environment will now appear in the list of protected environments.
## Modifying and unprotecting environments
Maintainers can:
2019-07-31 22:56:46 +05:30
- Update existing protected environments at any time by changing the access in the
**Allowed to Deploy** dropdown menu.
- Unprotect a protected environment by clicking the **Unprotect** button for that environment.

<!-- ## Troubleshooting
Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
questions that you know someone might ask.
Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g. `### Getting error message X`.
If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->
