General information on projects
Project — a group of account resources whose management can be isolated at the level of account users, their types and roles. Resources from the same project may be located in different regions, availability zones and pools. For some resources in a project, you can set a limit on the creation of — project limits and quotas.
In projects, you can only manage the resources of those products that support project work.
The first project (My First project) is created automatically at account registration in the control panel. If you must, delete this project and create a new.
You must select a project when ordering or creating a product. After ordering or creating a product, you can transfer resources to another project. The duration of the transfer depends on the product and the resource you want to transfer. For example, migrate cloud platform disks or migrate a dedicated server you can quickly, uh. cloud server migration will take you longer.
Project management: types and roles of users
Projects can be managed by users of all types:
- control panel users and federated users — through the control panel;
- service users — through Servercore Product API and other automation tools: OpenStack CLI, Terraform.
To manage a project, a user must be assigned a role with access to the project — the role defines what operations the user has access to. To determine which role is appropriate for a user, see subsection Comparison of roles in project management.
If a user does not have access to the project, you can add them to the project, more details in the instructions Add project administrator and Add a project observer.
