This is the new Sandbox environment we just created.A couple of important notes on creating new Sandboxes: Provisioning a Sandbox grants all current Dev Account users the “SuperAdmin” role on that Sandbox, which means they can modify the Sandbox within Dev Center and Admin . However, if we invite a user to the Dev Account after provisioning a Sandbox, the user is denied access to that Sandbox. The Dev Account Owner or Project Manager roles should administer user access to Sandboxes from within the designated project, if applicable.Creating a new “Site” in a Sandbox may take up to 30 minutes before the cache refreshes and the Site’s settings are available for configuration.
