Projects

Concepts

Projects are resource containers within your organization. Use them to manage your resources with fine-grained access control.

Users, service accounts and teams can be related to a project and thereby gain access to the project's resources. API Keys (deprecated) and S3 users are owned by a project.

Ownership and Access Control

Projects are owned by an organization. The visibility of projects follows these principles:

• Regular users (member affiliation) can see and access only the projects they have been granted access to (e.g. when they created it, or when they were granted specific permissions, or when they were added to a team that has been granted specific permissions). Regular users with the permission Become Project Administrator can see and manage ALL projects within the organization.
• Users with the organization owner or admin affiliation can see and manage ALL projects within the organization
