Restrict blank environment creation to administrators while still allowing members to create environments from existing projects and Git URLs. Useful when:
  • You want members to start from a repository or project instead of an empty environment
  • You want to reduce ad-hoc blank sessions without blocking normal Git-based work
  • You want a lighter restriction than requiring project-based creation for all member environments
This policy affects members only, not admins.

​
Configuration

Check Only admins can start from scratch in Settings → Organization → Policies → Environment policies.

Relationship to project creation

This policy is independent from Project creation:
  • Environment creation blocks only blank environments for members
  • Project creation is broader and requires members to create environments from existing projects
If you enable both policies, the project creation policy remains the stronger restriction for members.
