If you are the Technical Contact you can reorder the environments by dragging and dropping:
Actions
For flexible environments there is only one action you can take :
- Details of the selected environment – information about the details available are documented here: Details
There is no concept of staging, and you need to deploy your app directly to the target environment.
2.2.3 Setup Studios Deployment
If you are the Technical Contact for an app, you will be see the Setup Studios Deployment button which enables you to set the target environment to which apps will be deployed from Studio and Studio Pro. For more information, see Studio Deployment Settings.
2.3 Activity
If you are the Technical Contact you will see the Download to CSV button and can download a copy of the activity log as follows:
- Click Download to CSV.
Choose the period for which you want to download log entries. If you choose Custom Period you will need to enter a valid period using Start Date and End Date.
Click Download.
Operations carried out by the Mendix Operations Desk are not currently logged on the activity log.
These are activities which are performed on a customer’s behalf only with written approval through a Mendix Support ticket.
3 Custom Domain
In this tab you can manage your custom domain certificates on an application level.
When your Mendix app needs to be accessible via your own URL (for example, https://myapp.mycompany.com/), you have to provide a custom domain certificate (an SSL/TLS certificate) so that we can keep serving your Mendix app via a secure connection.
There is also a section with an overview of linked custom domains.
For more information, see Custom Domains.
4 Access Restriction Profiles
In this tab you can manage custom access restriction profiles. These profiles can combine IP range filters and client certificate verification, then any match on either the IP range or the client certificate will grant access. Access restriction profiles can be applied to path-based access restrictions in specific environments of the application.
For more information on setting up access restriction profiles, see Restrict Access for Incoming Requests
5 Permissions
Here, the Technical Contact and other team members who can Manage Permissions can manage various permissions to the environments for each team member. Team members who have permission to Deploy, Publish, and Monitor can view the permissions.
For more information on managing node permissions, see Node Permissions.
