> On the Prediction Environments page, you can view your organization's DataRobot prediction environments; edit, delete, or share external prediction environments; and deploy models directly to prediction environments.

# Manage predictions environments

On the Prediction Environments page, in addition to viewing your organization's DataRobot prediction environments and creating new external environments, you can edit, delete, or share external prediction environments. You can also [deploy models to prediction environments](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/classic-ui/mlops/deployment/prediction-env/pred-env-deploy.html).

## Edit a prediction environment

To edit the prediction environment details you set when you created the environment and to assign a Service Account, navigate to the Deployments > Prediction Environments page and click the row containing the prediction environment you want to edit:

- Name: Update the external prediction environment name you set when creating the environment.
- Description: Update the external prediction environment description or add one if you haven't already.
- Platform: Update the external platform you selected when creating the external prediction environment.
- Service Account: Select the account that should have access to each deployment within this prediction environment. Only owners of the current prediction environment are available in the list of service accounts.

> [!NOTE] Note
> DataRobot recommends using an administrative service account as the account holder (an account that has access to each deployment that uses the configured prediction environment).

## Share a prediction environment

The sharing capability allows [appropriate user roles](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/reference/misc-ref/roles-permissions.html#custom-model-and-environment-roles) to grant permissions for prediction environments.

When you have created a prediction environment and want to share it with others, select Share ( [https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/images/icon-share.png](https://docs.datarobot.com/en/docs/images/icon-share.png)) from the dashboard.

This takes you to the sharing window, which lists each associated user and their role. To remove a user, click the X button to the right of their role.

To re-assign a user's role, click on the assigned role and assign a new one from the dropdown.

To add a new user, enter their username in the Share with field and choose their role from the dropdown. Then click Share.

This action initiates an email notification.

## Delete a prediction environment

To delete a prediction environment, take the following steps:

1. Navigate to theDeployments > Prediction Environmentspage.
2. Next to the prediction environment you want to delete, click the delete icon.
3. In theDeletedialog box:
