Manage access and API keysDeveloper preview

Use the Stripe Dashboard to grant users access to your sandbox.

Manage access

You can manage access to your sandbox using Team management in your live account’s settings or from within a sandbox.

You can assign a role directly to give a user access to a specific sandbox. You can also assign a role in a sandbox different from the role the user has in other sandboxes, or in your live account. You must also assign a user a role in the live account to assign them a role in a sandbox.

Manage API keys

Stripe uses the API keys associated with a sandbox to authenticate API requests made to the applicable sandbox environment. We raise an invalid request error if you don’t include a key and an authentication error if the key is incorrect or outdated.

Use the Developer Dashboard within the sandbox to reveal, revoke, and create API keys. Learn more about API keys.

Grant users access to all sandboxes

When you assign the Sandbox Administrator role to a team member, you give them access to every sandbox linked to your live business account.

To add more team members to all sandboxes connected to your live business account:

1. Navigate to your live account in the Dashboard.
2. Click Settings in the top right corner.
3. Click Team and security > + Add member, then enter one or more email addresses. Select the Sandbox Administrator role.
4. Click Send invites.

Grant users access for testing only

When you grant a team member the Sandbox User role, you’re granting them access to create sandboxes associated with your live business account and delete sandboxes they’ve created.

To invite additional team members to only sandboxes associated with your live business account without any access to your live business details:

1. Navigate to your live business account in the Dashboard.
2. Click Settings in the top right corner.
3. Click Team and security > + Add member, then enter one or more email addresses. Select the Sandbox User role.
4. Click Send invites.

Grant users access to a specific sandbox

To invite additional team members to a specific sandbox associated with your live business account, or to invite a user to a specific sandbox that they didn’t create:

1. Navigate to your live account in the Dashboard.
2. Click Settings.
3. Click Team and security > + Add member, then enter one or more email addresses. Select a Sandbox role.
