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, and development;
  • 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.
