Using same solution publisher names in different environments

I have multiple sandbox environments and in each one I have created a publisher called 'testpublisher'

Example:

Environment1: publisher=testpublisher

Environment2: publisher=testpublisher

Would creating a security role in Environment1 and importing it in to Environment2 cause a problem because the publisher name is the same in both environments? Is there anything more to a publisher than just the name? Perhaps it will think it is it's own publisher given the names match.

I have the same question (0)

Every solution has a publisher. The default solution has a publisher named “Default Publisher for <your organization name>”.

The publisher record contains a Prefix value. The default value of this prefix is “new”. When you create new solution components, this prefix will be appended to the name. This is a quick way that allows people to understand what solution the components are part of.

for more information see the link : https://community.dynamics.com/crm/b/dynamicscrmbestpractices/posts/how-is-crm-solution-publisher-important

Before you start customizing the system we recommend that you change the prefix value for the default publisher to something that identifies your company.

To change the solution publisher prefix

Go to Settings > Customizations.

Select Publishers.

If there is more than one publisher, open the one with the Display Name that starts with Default Publisher for <your organization name>.

At the bottom of the form, update the Prefix field to change the default value of “new” to something that identifies your organization.

When you change the value, make sure to tab to the next field. The Option Value Prefix will automatically generate a number based on the customization prefix. This number is used when you add options to option sets and provides an indicator of which solution was used to add the option.

Yes I understand all of that but the question is about whether two environments can have the same publisher name and then import each other's solutions without having a conflict.

Yes, it should not be a problem, you just need to have different names for the solutions.
