Manage Project Access
Groups are now projects in the organizations and projects hierarchy.
You can create multiple projects in an organization.
By having multiple projects within an organization, you can:
Isolate different environments (for instance, development/qa/prod environments) from each other.
Associate different users or teams with different environments, or give different permissions to users in different environments.
Maintain separate cluster security configurations. For example:
Create/manage different sets of database user credentials for each project.
Isolate networks in different VPCs.
Create different alert settings. For example, configure alerts for Production environments differently than Development environments.
Create a Project
Prerequisites
To create a project for an organization, you must be either an
Organization Owner or an
Organization Project Creator.
When you create a project, you are added as an
Project Owner for the project.
Procedure
To create a new project using the Atlas CLI, run the following command:
atlas projects create <projectName> [options]
To learn more about the command syntax and parameters, see the Atlas CLI documentation for atlas projects create.
To create a project for an organization using the Atlas UI:
In Atlas, go to the Projects page for your organization.
If it's not already displayed, select your desired organization from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar.
Do one of the following steps:
Click the Leaf icon in the upper left corner of the page.
Click the Organization Settings icon next to the Organizations menu, then click Projects in the sidebar.
Expand the Projects menu in the navigation bar, then click View All Projects.
The Projects page displays.
Name your new project.
Enter the name for your new project.
Important
The project name has the following limits:
Can't exceed 64 characters.
Restricted to letters, numbers, spaces, dashes, and underscores.
Don't include sensitive information in your project name.
Click Next.
View Projects
Prerequisites
To view a project, you must either:
Be an
Organization OwnerorProject OwnerReceive an invitation that grants access to the project. An
Organization OwnerorProject Ownercan invite users to projects.
Important
Project Invitation Deprecation
The Atlas release on September 13, 2023 deprecates project invitations.
When you invite an organization member to projects within the organization, the user is automatically granted access to those projects and doesn't receive any invitations. When you invite a user to projects in an organization that the user doesn't belong to, the user receives a single invitation to the organization, which includes access to all of the projects that you grant them access to. Invitations expire after 30 days.
Procedure
To list all projects using the Atlas CLI, run the following command:
atlas projects list [options]
To return the details for the project you specify using the Atlas CLI, run the following command:
atlas projects describe <ID> [options]
To learn more about the syntax and parameters for the previous commands, see the Atlas CLI documentation for atlas projects list and atlas projects describe.
To view projects in the Atlas UI:
In Atlas, go to the Projects page for your organization.
If it's not already displayed, select your desired organization from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar.
Do one of the following steps:
Click the Leaf icon in the upper left corner of the page.
Click the Organization Settings icon next to the Organizations menu, then click Projects in the sidebar.
Expand the Projects menu in the navigation bar, then click View All Projects.
The Projects page displays.
A Backup Compliance Policy icon appears next to each project name that has a Backup Compliance Policy enabled.
Move a Project
When you move a project to another Atlas organization, Atlas copies the project users and their respective roles to the same project in the destination organization. However, Atlas doesn't carryover teams assigned to the project because you define teams at the organization level.
When you move projects across organizations, your changes take effect immediately. The move doesn't:
Impact cluster uptime or current cluster configuration.
Cause downtime for your cluster or changes to your connection string.
Important
Atlas removes existing API Keys after moving the project. You must create a new API Key after moving the project.
Atlas does not migrate any existing App Services applications to the project in the new organization. After you move the project, your applications remain, but certain services such as Triggers and Device Sync might not be supported. To use your applications again, you must copy the application's configuration files and port them to the new project.
Prerequisites
To move a project to another Atlas organization, you must be an
Organization Owner for both the current and the destination
organization.
Procedure
To move a project for an organization:
In Atlas, go to the Projects page for your organization.
If it's not already displayed, select your desired organization from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar.
Do one of the following steps:
Click the Leaf icon in the upper left corner of the page.

Click Confirm & Move.
Note
Billing a Moved Project
An Organization Owner of two different Organizations
can move projects between those Organizations at any time. Usage in
any particular project during any particular hour is accrued to the
Organization under which the project was at that time.
For example, an Organization Owner owns the Telecomm and
Storage Organizations in Atlas. They decide to move
their Backup project from Telecomm to Storage at
11:40 am.
The Telecomm project is billed for the full 11:00 to 11:59 am hour. Storage starts getting billed at 12:00 pm.
