Add projects and assign users for Tanzu Platform hub

Projects allow you manage permissions for users so that they have one set of permissions for resources associated with one project but different permissions in another project.

You can create projects in Tanzu Platform hub or in the Tanzu Platform cloud services console. In the console, you can assign users but you cannot associate resources. In Tanzu Platform hub, you can assign users and resources. Adding projects in Tanzu Platform hub is more efficient.

When you log in to Tanzu Platform hub, you only see the projects to which you are assigned. You can change between projects from the drop-down Context list in the header. When you switch between projects, you only see the resources that are assigned to that project. Switching to All Projects will allow you to see all resources across all of your projects.

Note

Some features require you to be in a specific project and if you are in All Projects you will be notified to select a project. You cannot switch between projects when you are using Insights.

Before you begin

• Verify that you added the users to the organization. See Add users.
• Make sure you understand how service roles and project roles interact. See How service roles interact with project roles.
