Projects
Projects are used to isolate resources (including compute, storage, and network resources) among physical regions. A project is provided for each region by default, and permissions are assigned based on projects.
For more refined access control, create subprojects under a project and create resources in the subprojects. Then, provide users with permissions to access resources in specific subprojects.

Resources cannot be transferred across IAM projects.
Creating a Project
- In the left navigation pane on the IAM console, choose Projects and click Create Project.
- Select a region in which you want to create a subproject.
- Enter a project name.
- The project name will be in the format "Name of the default project for the selected region_Custom project name". The name of default projects cannot be modified.
- The project name can only contain letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). The total length of the project name cannot exceed 64 characters.
- (Optional) Enter a description for the project.
- Click OK.
Granting a User Group Permissions for a Project
You can assign permissions based on projects to control access to resources in specific projects.
- In the user group list, click Authorize in the row containing the target user group.
- On the Authorize User Group page, select the policies or roles to be attached to the user group and click Next.
- Specify the authorization scope. If you select Region-specific projects, select one or more projects.
- Click OK.
For more information about user group authorization, see Creating a User Group and Assigning Permissions.
Switching Regions or Projects
For project-level services, switch to a region or project in which you have been authorized to access cloud services. You do not need to switch regions or projects for global services.
- Log in to the management console.
- Go to a project-level cloud service page. Click the drop-down list box in the upper left corner of the page and select a region.
