# Playbook Environments Overview

## Overview

[Multi-environment orchestration](/v1/docs/multi-environment-orchestration-executing-playbook-apps-through-a-firewall) allows ThreatConnect® users with an Environment Server behind a firewall to use their instance to communicate with that server and run [Apps](/v1/docs/parts-of-a-playbook#apps) and [Services](/v1/docs/playbook-services) inside their firewall. The Playbooks **Environments** screen provides information to Organization Administrators and higher on the Environments available to their ThreatConnect instance and allows them to administrate the Environments from within their instance.
