# Collaborator roles and Environments
You can assign specific permissions to each collaborator and customize roles for each environment as needed after you provision Environments for a customer. A collaborator's permission level determines which elements are visible to them. There are two permissions most relevant for Environments, both of which can be independent:
- Access to an environment
- Deployment permissions within an environment
For example, a collaborator could have access to an environment without having the ability to deploy a project. The following image displays the UI for a collaborator with deployment permission for the Development and Production environments, but no deployment permission for the Test environment.
Deployment permission in two environments
# Deployments tab
The Deployments tab is only visible to collaborators that have access to two or more environments with deployment permission in at least two environments they have access to.
