OpenStack projects group VMs together and provide a quota out of which VMs and related resources can be created. A project is unique to a particular cloud. All accounts which are members of a project have the same level of permissions, meaning anyone can create or delete a VM within a project they are a member of. You can view the projects you are a member of by logging into an OpenStack dashboard for the cloud(s) you have access to (see [[Cloud#Using_the_Cloud|using the cloud]] for a list of cloud URLs). The active '''project name''' will be displayed in the top left of the dashboard to the right of the cloud logo. If you are a member of more than one project you can switch between active projects by clicking on the drop down menu and clicking a project name. | OpenStack projects group VMs together and provide a quota out of which VMs and related resources can be created.
