Hello,
Regulated Industry accounts are often deployed according to best practices around having separated sandbox | staging | production accounts, to allow for readily following least-access principles around production data, and protect validated data environments against intrusion from invalidated usage.
This is great! This feature has been very useful for us. However, these environments look almost indistinguishable from each other visually. We include a “DEV” badge for our sandbox so there’s visual evidence, but it doesn’t really standout. As an account owner, this gives me a low-level anxiety that one day due to too-little caffeine I will go in to clean up test content, and accidentally delete production data.
I would really like a way to create some very obvious visual element in the Factory environment, that can be used to inform users whether they are in production, staging, or development. I have no strong preferences, but some good candidates seem like:
- Allow customization of some colors used in the Tulip cloud UI, to support running dev or staging accounts in different colors.
- Allow admins to add visual banners to the UI, that can support short text strings like “TESTING” or “DEVELOPMENT”
- Allow adding an account-level watermark to high criticality elements like tables, apps, machines, or automations, that can display short text like “DEV”, “TESTING”, etc. Bonus points if this appears on app printouts.
