# Create One Atlas Search Index

**POST /api/atlas/v2/groups/{groupId}/clusters/{clusterName}/search/indexes**

Only clusters running MongoDB v4.2 or later can use Atlas Search. To use this resource, the requesting Service Account or API Key must have the Project Data Access Admin role.

## Parameters

### Path parameters
- **groupId** (string)
  Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies your project. Use the [/groups](#tag/Projects/operation/listProjects) endpoint to retrieve all projects to which the authenticated user has access.

  **NOTE**: Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your group id is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.
- **clusterName** (string)
  Name of the cluster that contains the collection on which to create an Atlas Search index.

### Query parameters
- **envelope** (boolean)
  Flag that indicates whether Application wraps the response in an `envelope` JSON object. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query. Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Application adds the status parameter to the response body.
- **pretty** (boolean)
  Flag that indicates whether the response body should be in the prettyprint format.

### Body: application/vnd.atlas.2024-05-30+json (object)
