Edit feature flag value in an environment or organization

Link to this section

It’s common practice to override feature flag values for specific environments or for specific user groups. This might be done to enable feature testing, to analyse the effectiveness of a change, or to give early access to a preferred customer.

Feature flags work hierarchically. That is to say, where a feature flag is created at the business level, the flag’s value is automatically inherited in the environments and organizations within the business. But overrides can be applied if they are available.
