# Use Unity Studio with Unity Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

> Learn about Unity Studio's support of Unity Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and understand the limitations of this environment.

Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a self-managed version of Unity Cloud services that lets you deploy and manage your assets entirely within your own cloud infrastructure.

While Unity Studio works by default with Unity Cloud services, you can also use it with a VPC.

A VPC allows you to deploy supported Unity services within your own infrastructure. This gives you greater control over data such as 3D assets and user activity.

## Limitations of using Unity Studio with a Virtual Private Cloud

Because a VPC is a secure, isolated environment, it doesn't connect to the external public cloud services that certain features of Unity Studio rely on. As a result, using Unity Studio on a VPC comes with the following limitations:

* **No AI enhancement features**: You can't use the AI enhancement tools and features such as [AI Screenshot Enhancement](/unity-studio/develop/ai-features/ai-screenshot/.md).
* **No in-app tutorials**: Interactive tutorials aren't available to guide you through the features and functionalities of Unity Studio.
* **No templates**: You don't have access to the standard Unity Studio templates. The only available template is the default **Empty Scene**, which means you must create new drafts from scratch.
* **No access to Unity assets libraries**: You can't access the Unity Asset Store or any other online asset libraries to import assets directly into your drafts. You must upload and manage your assets manually within your VPC environment.

## Access requirements for Unity Studio on a Virtual Private Cloud

To access Unity Studio within a VPC environment, you must have one of the following roles:

* **Organization Owner**: Grants you access to all project assets across the organization.
* **Asset Manager Contributor**: Grants you access to assets on a per-project basis. You must configure this role for each specific project you want to access.

## Set up Unity Studio with a Virtual Private Cloud

Unity Studio relies on the [Unity Asset Manager](/cloud/asset-manager.md) to operate within a VPC architecture. To set up and access Unity Studio from a VPC, you must first configure your VPC environment.

For full setup instructions for your chosen cloud provider, refer to the [Unity Virtual Private Cloud documentation](/cloud/virtual-private-cloud.md).
