Manage Environments

Environments are isolated containers within your Stairwell organization that hold assets, detection rules, and threat intelligence. Use environments to segment data by business unit, team, or use case.

What Is an Environment

An environment is a logical boundary inside your Stairwell organization. Each environment has its own set of assets, YARA rules, tags, and configurations, allowing teams to work independently without affecting each other's data.

Create an Environment

1. Go to https://app.stairwell.com and log in.
2. Click the Settings icon in the left menu.
3. Select the Managed environments tab under the Organization section.
4. Click Add Environment.
5. Enter the desired environment name.
6. Select the environment type:
   • Normal -- the most common type, suitable for standard operations.
7. Click Create.

The new environment will appear in the Managed environments list and is immediately available for use.

Find Your Environment ID

The environment ID is required for API calls, CLI commands, and File Forwarder configuration.

1. Go to https://app.stairwell.com and log in.
2. Click the Settings icon in the left menu.
3. Select the Managed environments tab under the Organization section.
4. Locate your environment in the list and check the value in the Identifier column.

Copy this identifier for use in API requests, CLI flags, or forwarder configuration files.

Delete an Environment

Environment deletion is not available through the Stairwell UI. To delete an environment, contact your Customer Success Manager. Provide the environment name and identifier, and the CSM team will process the request.

Caution: Deleting an environment permanently removes all assets, rules, and data within it. Make sure you have exported or backed up any data you need before requesting deletion.
