Overview
This is a quick overview of all the major elements in the mutexer platform. In for each account created there are four major entities environments, users, teams and projects.
To begin you will only need to do two steps.

Environments
Environments are a collections of projects, users and teams.
You can create and be invited to multiple environments. Nothing is shared between environments including billing.
INFO
Each environment has one billing tier for all devices that are contained within it. For example if the selected plan is "Starter" then every device added will be at the starter plan price. It is not possible to mix tiers within one environment.
Use-case of multiple environments
There are use-cases where you may need multiple environments. Some examples below.
Separate users
- Multiple Companies: One account linking multiple companies
