    what permissions would a IW have, we discovered that an IW licence even with SUPER and EXT MGT permission sets still cannot access Extension Management page

      IW is for trial. It is as powerful as super, but it has limitation in term of managing the environment. I never tested it if you can use Extension Management or not, but probably not.

    Do you have info on what the overall capabilities of an IWs license can do with respect to Production v. Sandbox? We have a client that wants to go through the whole implementation under the IWs licenses and only add the Premium licenses just prior to go-live. Can they have IWs licenses logging into a production tenant?
