Creating, editing, or deleting a project

Notes

When a project is used to share an environment, the usage is charged against the environment owner, not the person using the environment.
Your company account can have up to 1,500 projects.

Creating a project

Any Skytap standard user, user manager, and administrator can create a project.

Restricted users can’t create projects but an administrator or project owner can make a restricted user the owner of a project. For more information about changing the owner of a project, see Changing the owner of an environment, template, project, or asset

From the navigation bar, click Projects. The Projects page displays.
Click .
Type a Project name (all others fields are optional).
- To automatically add all new users to the project:
  1. Click Automatically assign every new user added to your account to this project.
  2. Select the project role that new user accounts are automatically granted. For a description of the project roles, see Understanding project roles.
    Notes
    - This applies only to new Skytap user accounts that are created after this setting is enabled. It doesn't automatically add existing users to the project.
    - This is usually only configured one time for an account. In most cases, you don't need to configure this.
    - For more information, see Automatically adding new users to a project.
- To give any project user access to view the other users in the project, click Allow editors, participants, and viewers to see the user list; otherwise, this information is only available to users with the Manager project role.

- Adding and removing resources for a project
