# Manage Projects

**Note:**

Groups are now projects.

In Ops Manager, MongoDB deployments are associated with projects.

You can create multiple projects in an organization. Each project has its own Monitoring, Backup and Automations associated with the project.

## Working with Multiple Environments

For a project, the Monitoring must be able to connect to all hosts it monitors. If you have multiple MongoDB deployments in distinct environments and cannot monitor all deployments with a single agent (for instance, if your environments are separated by firewalls), you will need to add new projects.

You can also use multiple projects and agents if you want to separately monitor different MongoDB deployments that run in the same environment.

## Create One Project

**Important:**

- To create a project for an organization, you must be either an [`Organization Owner`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/reference/user-roles.md#mongodb-authrole-Organization-Owner) or an [`Organization Project Creator`.](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/reference/user-roles.md#mongodb-authrole-Organization-Project-Creator)

- When you create a project, you are added as an [`Project Owner`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/reference/user-roles.md#mongodb-authrole-Project-Owner) of the project.

- When you create a project, Ops Manager automatically assigns a set of default [alert configurations](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/tutorial/manage-alert-configurations.md) to the project.

1. Navigate to the Create a Project page.

   If it is not already displayed, select the organization that contains your desired project from the  Organizations menu in the navigation bar.

   Click the Leaf icon in the upper left corner of the page.

   Click New Project.

   You can also expand the Projects menu in the navigation bar, then click + New Project.

   **Note:**

   To create a new project when LDAP is the authentication method:

   1. Go to the Admin Console.

   2. Select Organizations.

   3. Click New Project for the Organisation for which you wish to create the project.

2. Provide a name and default server type for your Project.

   | Name | Enter the name for this project. |
   | --- | --- |
   | Default Project Server Type | Select the default server type to be applied to all hosts added to this project. This default type overrides the default type set for the parent organization. You can change the server type for individual hosts. You can modify this setting in [Edit Project Settings.](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/tutorial/manage-project-settings.md) Server IntentionEnvironment PurposeLicense RequirementProduction ServerHosts your application to your internal or external end users.If an end user might use an environment, it functions as a Production environment.

3. Optional: Configure LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) options.

   **Note:**

   Starting with MongoDB 8.0, LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) authentication and authorization is deprecated. The feature remains available and supported in Ops Manager and continues to operate without changes. LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) will be removed in a future release.

   For details, see [LDAP Deprecation.](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/LDAP-deprecation.md#std-label-ldap-deprecation)

   If managing Ops Manager users through LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), enter values for the following **Optional LDAP Configuration** fields .

   **Important:**

   **Multiple LDAP Groups Can Map to One Role**

   Ops Manager roles can include more than one LDAP group. Type multiple LDAP group names in the relevant role fields separated by two semicolons (`;;`).

   | Field | Action |
   | --- | --- |
   | LDAP Groups for Project Owner Role | Type the LDAP group(s) to which the Project Owners of the Ops Manager project belong. You can type multiple LDAP groups into this field if they are separated by two semicolons (`;;`). |
   | LDAP Groups for Automation Admin Role | Type the LDAP group(s) to which Ops Manager project's Automation Administrators belong. You can type multiple LDAP groups into this field if they are separated by two semicolons (`;;`). |
   | LDAP Groups for Backup Admin Role | Type the LDAP group(s) to which Ops Manager project's Backup Administrators belong. You can type multiple LDAP groups into this field if they are separated by two semicolons (`;;`). |
   | LDAP Groups for Monitoring Admin Role | Type the LDAP group(s) to which Ops Manager project's Monitoring Administrators belong. You can type multiple LDAP groups into this field if they are separated by two semicolons (`;;`). |
   | LDAP Groups for User Admin Role | Type the LDAP group(s) to which Ops Manager project's User Administrators belong. You can type multiple LDAP groups into this field if they are separated by two semicolons (`;;`). |
   | LDAP Groups for Read Only Role | Type the LDAP group(s) to which Ops Manager project's Read Only Users belong. You can type multiple LDAP groups into this field if they are separated by two semicolons (`;;`). |

4. Add members to your project.

   For existing Ops Manager users, enter their username. Usually, this is the email the person used to register.

   For new Ops Manager users, enter their email address to send an invitation.

5. Specify the access for the members.

6. Click the Create Project button to create the project.

## Move One Project from One Organization to Another

**Important:**

- To move a project between Organizations, you must have the [`Organization Owner`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/reference/user-roles.md#mongodb-authrole-Organization-Owner) on the source and target Organization.

- When you move the Project, Ops Manager removes users that don't belong to the target Organization.

1. Navigate to the Projects page for your organization.

   If it is not already displayed, select your desired organization from the  Organizations menu in the navigation bar.

   Click the Leaf icon in the upper left corner of the page, or click Projects in the sidebar.

2. Choose the Project to move.

   Click  to the right of the project you want to move.

   Click Move Project.

   The Move Project modal displays.

3. Choose the target Organization.

   Click the target Organization to which you want to move your project.

   Click Confirm and Move.

## Delete One Project

**Important:**

Deleting a project removes all the project's artifacts, including all monitoring data. Ops Manager no longer displays the project in selection lists. You can't delete a project that has managed deployments.

You can delete a project if:

- You have [`Project Owner`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/reference/user-roles.md#mongodb-authrole-Project-Owner) access for the project.

- The project has no backups. To terminate your backups prior to removing the project, see [Terminate a Deployment's Backups.](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/tutorial/stop-restart-terminate-backup.md#std-label-terminate-backup)

1. View all of your projects.

   If it is not already displayed, select the organization that contains your desired project from the  Organizations menu in the navigation bar.

   Click the Leaf icon in the upper left corner of the page. You can also expand the Projects menu in the navigation bar, then click View All Projects.

2. Delete the project.

   Click the  button for the project you wish to delete to open the Delete Project modal.

3. Confirm that you want to delete this project.

   Click Delete Project.

   If [Manage Your Two-Factor Authentication Options](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/core/two-factor-authentication.md) is enabled, enter the verification code.

   Click Delete Project again.

   If prompted for authentication, enter the verification code. After verifying, click Delete Project again.

4. Stop the MongoDB Agents.

   | Agent | Procedure |
   | --- | --- |
   | Automations | Stop the agent's process on each server. |
   | Monitoring | See [Stop the Monitoring Agent](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/tutorial/start-or-stop-monitoring-agent.md#std-label-stop-monitoring-agent) and [Remove Monitoring Agents from Ops Manager.](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/tutorial/delete-monitoring-agent.md) |
   | Backup | See [Stop the Backup Agent](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/tutorial/start-or-stop-backup-agent.md#std-label-stop-backup-agent) and [Remove the Backup Agent from Ops Manager.](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/tutorial/delete-backup-agent.md) |
