# Environments

The Environments page lists the environments that can be managed with your Portainer installation. Here you can add new environments either [manually](/2.33-lts/admin/environments/add.md) or through [auto onboarding](/2.33-lts/admin/environments/aeec.md), as well as manage which users and groups have [access](/2.33-lts/admin/environments/access.md) to individual environments.

To see the details of an existing environment, click on the environment's name in the list. The below options are generic to all environment types, but some environment types will have additional information displayed as well.
