# Protected environments API **(PREMIUM)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/30595) in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 12.8.
## Valid access levels
The access levels are defined in the `ProtectedEnvironment::DeployAccessLevel::ALLOWED_ACCESS_LEVELS` method.
Currently, these levels are recognized:
```plaintext
30 => Developer access
40 => Maintainer access
60 => Admin access
```
## List protected environments
Gets a list of protected environments from a project:
```shell
GET /projects/:id/protected_environments
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user. |
```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/protected_environments/"
```
Example response:
```json
[
{
"name":"production",
"deploy_access_levels":[
{
"access_level":40,
"access_level_description":"Maintainers",
"user_id":null,
"group_id":null
}
]
}
]
```
## Get a single protected environment
Gets a single protected environment:
```shell
GET /projects/:id/protected_environments/:name
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user |
| `name` | string | yes | The name of the protected environment |
```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/protected_environments/production"
```
Example response:
```json
{
"name":"production",
"deploy_access_levels":[
{
"access_level":40,
"access_level_description":"Maintainers",
"user_id":null,
"group_id":null
}
]
}
```
## Protect repository environments
Protects a single environment:
```shell
POST /projects/:id/protected_environments
```
```shell
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/protected_environments?name=staging&deploy_access_levels%5B%5D%5Buser_id%5D=1"
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user. |
| `name` | string | yes | The name of the environment. |
| `deploy_access_levels` | array | yes | Array of access levels allowed to deploy, with each described by a hash. |
Elements in the `deploy_access_levels` array should take the
form `{user_id: integer}`, `{group_id: integer}` or `{access_level: integer}`.
Each user must have access to the project and each group must [have this project shared](../user/project/members/share_project_with_groups.md).
Example response:
```json
{
"name":"staging",
"deploy_access_levels":[
{
"access_level":null,
"access_level_description":"Administrator",
"user_id":1,
"group_id":null
}
]
}
```
## Unprotect environment
Unprotects the given protected environment:
```shell
DELETE /projects/:id/protected_environments/:name
```
```shell
curl --request DELETE --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/protected_environments/staging"
```
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user. |
| `name` | string | yes | The name of the protected environment. |
