# Create a project

Create a project in Supria Workspaces by providing its basic information, organizational context, and project ownership.

### Before you begin

Before you create a project, the Workspace Administrator needs to set up the permissions required for the profile that will create it.

#### Permission to create projects

The profile type of the person who will create the project must have the create-projects permission enabled in the workspace.

To grant this permission:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
In Supria Workspaces, click **Settings** in the left sidebar, or click the icon next to your user photo in the top-right toolbar.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Workspace Permissions** on the settings bar.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the profile type of the person who will create the project, then click **Edit**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the **Projects** section, select **Create projects**, then click **Save**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Learn more:** see [Profiles and permissions](/home/get-started/core-concepts/profiles-and-permissions.md) for more information on the permissions available in the workspace.
{% endhint %}

#### Project type

The **Workspace Administrator** needs to create at least one project type before anyone can create a project.

To create a project type:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
In Supria Workspaces, click **Settings** in the left sidebar, or click the <i class="fa-gear">:gear:</i> icon next to your user photo in the top-right toolbar.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Project Types** on the settings bar.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **New** to create a new project type.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Enter a name for the project type. If needed, add an approver.

{% hint style="info" %}
Names in the list of available approvers come from Access Directory.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Save**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

#### Organizational Structure and Strategic Category

**Organizational Structure** and **Strategic Category** are metadata that Supria configures when the workspace is created.

The **Workspace Administrator** can edit this metadata as the organization's needs change.

To edit a metadata item:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
In Supria Workspaces, click **Settings** in the left sidebar, or click the icon next to your user photo in the top-right toolbar.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Metadata** on the settings bar.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the item you want to edit (Organizational Structure or Strategic Category), then click **Edit**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Make the changes you need, then click **Save**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Create a project

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Fill in the project's main information. **Additional fields may be available, depending on your organization's configuration.**

{% endhint %}

{% step %}

The page refreshes and takes you directly to the new project, where you can fill in any remaining information and submit it for approval.
{% endstep %}
