Create and manage projects

A project is the basic operational unit in KakaoCloud where actual resources are created and managed. Most services — such as virtual machines (VMs), networks, storage, and data analytics resources — are created within projects. Access control to these resources is governed by IAM project-level permissions.

Create project

To use KakaoCloud resources, you must first create a project within an organization. Only users with the Organization Admin or IAM Organization Admin role can create projects.

Before creating a project, a payment method must be registered. For more information, see Manage payment methods.

1. Go to the KakaoCloud Console > Management > IAM.

2. In the left navigation, select Projects and click the [Create project] button.

3. In the popup, enter the required information and click the [Create] button.

   Field	Description
   Organization name	The organization name registered by the organization owner (auto-filled).
   Project ID	A unique project identifier used in APIs. – Cannot be changed after creation.
   Project nickname	The display name of the project.
   Description (optional)	A short description of the project.

View all projects

All projects can be viewed from the IAM menu.

Role-based access

Viewing all projects in an organization is available to users with organization-level roles — such as Organization Admin, Organization Leader, IAM Organization Admin, and IAM Organization Viewer. Users with Project Admin or Project Member roles can view only the projects to which they belong.

1. Go to the KakaoCloud Console > Management > IAM.
2. In the Projects menu, view all projects belonging to the organization.

Check project ID

When a project is created in KakaoCloud, a unique project ID is assigned to it.
You can check the project ID under Active project at the top of the KakaoCloud Console home page or in the IAM > Projects list.

Change project description

You can change the project description in the IAM menu. Only users with the Organization Admin or IAM Organization Admin role can perform this action.

1. Go to the KakaoCloud Console > Management > IAM.
2. In the left Projects menu, click the edit icon next to the project you want to modify.
   • Project information can only be edited within the organization to which the project belongs, so make sure the correct organization is selected.
3. In the Change project description popup, change the Description, and then click [Save].

Request project deletion

Currently, projects cannot be deleted directly from the console. Users with the Organization Admin role can request deletion through the Helpdesk.

caution

When a project is deleted, all resources created within it are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

1. Go to the Helpdesk and click the [Ask a question] button in the upper-right corner.

2. Select Technical inquiry as the question type, fill out the required details, and click the [Submit] button.

   Project deletion request

   Inquiry type	Select Technical inquiry for project deletion.
   Detailed type	Select Service > Project deletion.
   Project name	The name of the project to delete.
   Title	Subject of the inquiry.
   Content	Detailed description of the request. – Enable the “Private” option if needed.
   Attachment	Attach a file if necessary.
