Project scoping
Use Projects as resource filters within one Organization—not as a second security boundary.
On this page
A Project groups Sources, Destinations, Events, and metrics inside one Organization.
What Projects do
- filter lists and dashboards;
- organize environments such as
production,staging, anddevelopment; - group Sources and Destinations by product area or team;
- make large Organizations easier to navigate.
What Projects do not do
- They are not a separate access boundary.
- They do not grant access to a user who is not an Organization member.
- They do not isolate secrets from other Projects in the same Organization.
- They do not create separate billing or quotas.
The security boundary is the Organization. A member can access the resources their Organization role permits across its Projects.
Project settings
A Project has a display name, a URL-safe slug, and an environment. The slug uses lowercase letters,
digits, or hyphens and is used in the dashboard URL. The environment is one of production,
staging, or development; a new Project defaults to production.
Default Project
Onboarding normally creates a default Project. If an Organization has no Project, create one before creating a Source. A Source always belongs to a Project.
Filtering
Selecting a Project filters the dashboard view. It does not change your Organization access or move resources to a different Organization.
