Manager Guide
As a Manager, your role is to oversee the day-to-day usage of sandbox environments within your team or department. You will approve or reject sandbox requests, assign the right account templates to users, and track spending and activity for accounts under your supervision.
This guide will help you set up account templates for your users, manage approvals, monitor usage against budgets, and coordinate access so that your team has the resources they need without exceeding agreed limits.
