Environments
Environments in Ripe belong to Projects, and can have a specific value per key which is unique to the environment.
An environment has several properties you can use to customize your team’s experience.
| Name | Description | 
|---|---|
| Endpoint | This is the main service API endpoint used to connect to your Ripe configuration environment | 
| Private Keys | These are the keys intended to be used on backend servers and services to which the client should know nothing about | 
| Public Keys | These are the keys intended to use in less secure locations such as mobile apps. These only expose the keys defined with the Public visibility. |  
| Locked | This property prevents the environment from accepting any changes outside of a promotion | 
| Limit Member Access | This property enables a dialog allowing you to define users as Allow or Deny. Users that are set to Deny cannot see anything about an environment, including keys, regardless of their role. |  
| Restrict Network Access | This property enables a dialog allowing you to define ip addresses that are allowd to access this environments configuration through the endpoint. Warning: Make sure that your ip addresses are accurate, as a mis-typed ip address will return 403 Forbidden |
