Team Projects¶

Create New Project¶

There are two different ways to create a new cloud project: via the Project dashboard or the Project menu.

Create a new project from the Project dashboard by clicking the Create new project button on the top right corner of the screen.

You can also use the Project menu found within the navigation sidebar by opening the drop down menu and clicking Create new project option.

Input the project name and any email addresses of team members you would like to invite, and click Create project. (See more about inviting team members).

Delete a project¶

You can delete any project of which you are the Owner. On the project dashboard, open the settings menu on the project card and click Delete.

Any remaining balance within that project will be sent to your Unallocated funds in My Account page, see Transfer Funds.

Project billing¶

Project payment methods and billing information (including address, company name, and business ID) are always associated with the Owner of the project.

Billing information can only be edited by the project owner in their My Account page. Project admin can view this billing information in the Billing & Settings page.

Payment methods are added by the project owner. Both owner and admin can view the payment methods and choose which ones to use for topping up the account, including automatic top-up.

Project developers can create and manage resources, but do not have access to view or edit billing and payment details.

Transfer funds¶

When a project is deleted, any remaining funds from that project will be transferred to your Unallocated balance in the My Account page.

From the Unallocated balance, funds can be transferred to any other project you own.

Transfer resources¶

You can transfer active compute and storage between projects. In order to transfer resources, you must be the Owner of both the source and target projects.

Transfer compute between projects¶

You can find Transfer to new project in the Actions menu on the compute cards or in their specific pages. Compute can remain running during the transfer. There is no need to shutdown instances, unless you want to detach storage first.

Choose which project the instance will be transferred to and click Transfer compute. All attached block volumes will be transferred with the instance.

Transfer block volumes between projects¶

On the Block volumes screen, open the settings menu of the volume you would like to transfer. Click on Transfer, select the target project, and click Transfer volume.

Transfer shared filesystems between projects¶

Currently, you cannot transfer shared filesystems between projects as they may be shared to other compute. We are working hard on improving this feature.

Invite team members¶

Invite team members from the Team page. Click the invite button on the top right of the screen.

Input email addresses of the team members you would like to add. Choose a role for them using the menu. View role permissions below.

They will receive an email invitation with a link to accept and join the project. You will see when they have accepted the invitation next to their information on the Team page.

Roles¶

Team members are given different roles with various permissions:

• Owner is the user that created a project. Owners have all permissions.
• Admin have almost all permissions, except editing projects or editing billing information.
• Developer can only deploy instances, create volumes, and manage project resources.

Role Permissions¶

Changing roles¶

Project Owner and Admin can change the roles of other team members using the menu in the Team page.

Remove a team member¶

On the Team page, click on the role menu associated with the team member you would like to remove and click Remove (see image of menu above). You must confirm the removal of the team member.

For security purposes, all Cloud API keys the team member created will be deleted upon their removal. Contact us via chat or email [email protected] if you need assistance.

Leave a project¶

If you are a team member of a shared project, you can leave a project from your role menu on the Team page (see image above) or from the settings menu on the Project card.

For security purposes, all Cloud API keys you created will be deleted upon leaving. Contact us via chat or email [email protected] if you need assistance.

How to find the Project ID¶

Your Project ID is essential for troubleshooting, so please have it ready when reaching out to our support team. Project IDs can be found from the URL or copied from the Project card on the Project list screen.
