* Separate development, staging, and production environments
* Isolate different projects or clients
* Create dedicated testing environments

### Best Practices

* Use clear, consistent naming for accounts
* Document the purpose of each account
* Regularly review and manage account access
* Set up specific configurations for each account as needed

Remember, each new account starts fresh, allowing you to tailor its setup to your specific needs.
