Upsun Environment Type API is one of 50 APIs that [Upsun](https://apis.io/providers/upsun/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Environment Type. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

Environment Types is the way Upsun manages access. We currently have 3 environment types: * Development * Staging * Production Each environment type will contain a group of users and their accesses. We manage access, adding, updating and removing users and their roles, here. Each environment will have a type, pointing to one of these 3 environment types. See `type` in [Environments](#tag/Environment). In general: * Production will be reserved for the default branch, and cannot be set manually. * An environment can be set to be type `staging` or development manually and when branching. Dedicated Generation 2 projects have different rules for environment types. If your project contains at least one of those Dedicated Generation 2 environments, the rules are slightly different: * All non-dedicated environments in your project can be `development` or `staging`, but never `production`. * Dedicated Generation 2 environments can be set either to `staging` or `production`, but never `development`. * The default branch is not considered to be a special case.
