Projects
A project is a group of account resources whose management can be isolated at the account users, their types and roles level. 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 creation limit — project limits and quotas.
In projects, you can only manage resources of products-that-support-projects.
The first project (My First project) is created automatically when account registration in the control panel. If necessary, delete this project and create a new one.
The project must be selected when ordering or creating a product. Once ordered or created, you can move resources to another project. The duration of the migration depends on the product and resource you want to migrate. For example, you can migrate cloud platform disks quickly, while cloud server migration will take you longer.
Project Management: User Types and Roles
Projects can be managed by users of all types:
- control panel users and federated users — via Control Panel;
- service users — via Selectel Product API and other automation tools: OpenStack CLI, Terraform, selvpc.
To manage the project, the user must have:
- A suitable role has been assigned. It defines which operations the user has access to. You can determine which role is appropriate for the user in the Comparing project management roles subsection.
- Project added. For details on how to add a project, see the Add Project Administrator and Add Project Observer instructions.
