Setting Up Dev and Prod Environments with a Single Discourse Account

I am looking for advice on setting up both development and production environments using a single Discourse account. Our forum users can only access the forum through Single Sign-On (SSO) via our platform.

Here are the details of our setup:

We have separate Discourse Connect URLs for the development and production environments.

Given this configuration, how can we properly manage user authentication and seamless access between these two environments? What best practices should we follow to ensure smooth transitions and consistent user experiences?
