When you set a resource to **Production only**, Vercel removes non-production access and protects credentials as [Sensitive environment variables](/docs/environment-variables/sensitive-environment-variables), so secret values are not readable from the dashboard or CLI. ## Related pages > **For AI agents:** Follow these links to understand how this page connects to the rest of the Vercel ecosystem.

The CLI currently supports > `remove`, `disconnect`, and `create-threshold` for integration resources. See > [`vercel integration-resource`](/docs/cli/integration#vercel-integration-resource). ## Secure your resource with Production-only access To secure a resource: 1. From your Vercel [dashboard](/dashboard), open [**Integrations**](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%7E%2Fintegrations\&title=Go+to+Integrations). 2. Select **Manage** for the integration, and then open the installed product resource. 3. Open **Settings** and find **Allowed Environments**. 4. Select **Production only**. 5. Review the affected Development and Preview connections. 6. Check the acknowledgment that non-production connections will be removed. 7. Select **Save**. After save completes, Vercel removes Development and Preview targets from existing connections. Connections that include Production remain connected in Production only, and connections that do not include Production are disconnected. ## What Production-only mode changes When a resource is secured with **Production only**: - New connections to Development or Preview are blocked - Existing Development or Preview targets are removed when you save - Connection rows without a Production target are disconnected - Resource credentials are protected as sensitive values and are not readable in the dashboard or CLI ## Allow Development or Preview again If you need broader access later: This operation requires the **Owner** role. 1. Open the resource **Settings** page. 2. In **Allowed Environments**, select an option that includes Development and Preview. 3. Select **Save** and complete the required multi-factor authentication (MFA) challenge. 4. Reconnect any projects that were fully disconnected from the **Projects** tab. ## Troubleshooting If save is blocked: - Confirm you selected the acknowledgment checkbox - Review the listed Development and Preview connections before retrying - Reopen the resource page and verify your latest Allowed Environments setting --- [View full sitemap](/docs/sitemap)
