What Are the Differences Between IAM Projects and Enterprise Projects?

IAM Projects

Projects are used to group and physically isolate resources in a region. Resources cannot be transferred between IAM projects. They can only be deleted and then provisioned again.

For details about how to use IAM projects, see "Projects" in the Identity and Access Management User Guide.

Enterprise Projects

Enterprise projects group and manage resources across regions. Resources in enterprise projects are logically isolated from each other. An enterprise project can contain resources of multiple regions, and resources can be transferred between enterprise projects. Enterprise Management makes it easy for you to assign permissions for specific cloud resources. For example, you can add an Elastic Cloud Server (ECS) to an enterprise project, and assign permissions to a user to manage this ECS in the project. Then the user can manage only this ECS. You cannot create projects in IAM after enabling Enterprise Management.

For details about enterprise projects, see Enterprise Management User Guide.
