Managing projects
Projects are a group of database clusters within a BigAnimal organization. Access to projects is controlled by a user's role. With projects, you can separate workflows to provide secure and isolated environments and assign different users to different projects. See Managing portal access for more information.
Projects actions are available from the left navigation bar. The actions apply to the project in focus. You can switch between projects using the Projects menu.
Adding a user to a project
Before adding a user to a project:
The user must be added to the organization through the organization's identity provider.
The user must log in to the BigAnimal portal at least once.
You must be an organization owner or the project owner of the project.
To add a user:
Select the project you want to add a user to from the Projects menu.
Select Users from the left navigation bar.
Select the edit icon for the user.
Select Assign Roles.
Depending on the level of access you want for the user, select the appropriate role.
Select Submit.
Creating a project
Before creating a new project:
You must have an organization owner role.
You must create a new Azure subscription or AWS account to create a new project.
To create a new Azure subscription, see Create a Microsoft Customer Agreement subscription.
To create a new AWS account, see Creating an AWS account in your organization.
Notes
You can only use a single Azure subscription or AWS account for one project at a time. For example, if you have two projects and only need to deploy your clusters in AWS, you need to connect a different AWS account for each project.
To reuse an Azure subscription or AWS account, you have to first delete the project that was previously connected with that account.
To create a new project:
On the Projects menu, select New Project.
Enter a unique name for the project.
Select Create Project.
Select Project > See All Projects.
Select your new project.
Set up the cloud provider for the project. See Connecting your cloud.
Activate the region for the project. See Activating regions.
Select Create Project.
