Get Started with On-Demand Sandboxes

To access on-demand sandboxes, you must purchase sandbox credits, set up user roles, configure an API client key, and obtain your realm ID. Then you can provision and manage on-demand sandboxes as a self-service feature using the Sandbox API.

  1. Purchase On-Demand Sandbox Credits
    To use on-demand sandboxes, you must purchase sandbox credits. Contact your Account Executive for more information.
  2. Set Up User Roles for On-Demand Sandboxes
    An administrator uses Account Manager to assign appropriate roles to on-demand sandbox users. For each role, configure a scope filter and set it to All Sandboxes in the realm. Users assigned to the Sandbox API User role can consume credits and affect costs, so this role is typically not appropriate for developers. Developers can use all other roles to fully access on-demand sandbox features.
  3. Configure an API Client ID
    To allow users access to the Sandbox API, the administrator uses Account Manager to create an API client ID. If you plan to use scripts to automate API calls, the API Client ID requires the password for authentication.
  4. Get Your Realm ID
    To create and manage sandboxes, you must know the ID of your realm.
  5. Create an On-Demand Sandbox
    Use the POST/sandboxes method of the Sandbox API to create an on-demand sandbox.
