Understand your DigiCert ONE account
Your DigiCert ONE account is your organization's top-level space for accessing and managing DigiCert services. It provides a central place to manage users, permissions, subscriptions, global settings, and environments.
Each user signs in to the same DigiCert ONE account using their own identity. Assigned permissions determine which environments, products, and settings they can access.
How your account is organized
A DigiCert ONE account contains one or more environments. Each environment is an isolated workspace where you deploy products, configure trust sources, and manage certificate workflows. Each environment is either production or demo and associated with a data residency region.
