Configure the Environment Hub

Enable the Environment Hub in your org, and then configure it to give other users access. If you’re an ISV partner, the Environment Hub is already installed in your Partner Business Org.

User Permissions Needed
To set up and configure the Environment Hub: Manage Environment Hub
  1. To open a case to enable the Environment Hub in your org, contact Salesforce Customer Support.

    If you’re an ISV partner, you can skip this step.

  2. Log in to the org where the Environment Hub is enabled.
  3. Assign users access to features in the Environment Hub by creating or updating a permission set or profile.

    Be sure to assign users the Salesforce or Salesforce Platform license.

    • “Delete”—Disconnect an org from the Environment Hub and delete its corresponding Hub Member record and Service Provider record (if SSO was enabled for the member).

    Service Providers Service Provider Access

    When configuring the Environment Hub in a new org, this section is empty.

    If you enable single sign-on (SSO) in a member org, new entries appear in this section. Entries appear in the format Service Provider [Organization ID], where Organization ID is the ID of the member org. Users who don’t have access to the service provider sometimes see this message when attempting to log in via SSO: User ‘[UserID]’ does not have access to sp ‘[Service Provider ID]’.
