Where can you set up a direct connection to another environment?

Setting up a direct connection to another environment requires access to specialized administrative functions that are typically found in the Admin Console. The Admin Console is designed for managing settings and configurations that affect the entire Appian environment, including connections to other environments, user permissions, and system settings. This centralized management interface provides the necessary tools to configure environment settings, ensuring a secure and effective way to establish these connections.

Other options do not facilitate this type of system-level connection. The Appian Designer focuses mainly on application design and development tasks, whereas User Settings relate to individual user preferences and customizations. The System Health Check is intended for monitoring the performance and status of the environment but does not involve configuring external connections. Hence, the Admin Console is indeed the appropriate location for setting up a direct connection to another environment.
