Question
What impacts we will have by setting production level to 2 in production
please, can you one pinpoint the impacts we will have on setting production level to 2 for prod environment.
Thank you BradTrainter, as our application is internal not exposed to users, management is not convincing with security issues, I am trying to get any document that will convince to make changes
Both the install guides and performance guide states production should be set to 5:

Production Level — Enter a production level. The production level affects many security features of your system. Both the system name and production level can be changed after the system is running. Depending on the type of installation, choose: 5 for a system that will be used in production
Set the system's production level according to whether it is a test or production environment. Use a production level of 2 for development systems and 5 for production systems
Hi Vishnu,
As was pointed out in this article that you opened, there are possible security compromises that may occur: https://pdn.pega.com/community/product-support/question/production-level-2-changing-5-will-improve-any-performance
IN addition, this prevents draft flows from running as well: https://pdn.pega.com/community/pega-product-support/question/production-level-and-draft-mode
Again, would recommend you change production to be a production level of 5 and review the links provided in https://pdn.pega.com/community/product-support/question/production-level-2-changing-5-will-improve-any-performance.
