If you do not have permission to do this, you may need to seek your SMS administrator.

    prod: https://ebs-live.organisation.domain/Rest/
    testingurl:
        test: https://ebs-test.organisation.domain/Rest/
        dev: https://ebs-dev.organisation.domain/Rest/
    checkendpoint: Modules/15866/Screens/u_webservicescreen/Data/datalink
```

.env

```
EBSUSERNAME="myebsusername"
EBSPASSWORD="mypassword"
EBSLOCATION="https://ebsOneWebServices-dev.myorganisation.org/Rest/"
