Projects
The ChaosCenter comes with a project management system which can be used for working on chaos workflows with multiple different projects across different agents.
Prerequisites#
Before learning abpout the concept of projects, it is important to note that a project signifies a separation between Agents,Schedules, Visualization, and Teams (discussed in the next section) configurations, and prior knowledge of these will prove fruitful in understanding the concept of projects in-depth.

The project management feature is the second level of privilege layer delivered by the ChaosCenter and a breakdown can be observed in the below diagram:
The specifics of project management with respect to different first layer privilege levels (Admin/non-admin users) are discussed below:
The Admin user of the portal has a default project (named as admin’s project) created on the initial login, and by default has the owner privileges in this project.
The Admin can create a user (these users will be treated as non-admin users), and each of these users will have their own projects created on completion of their initial login. The Owner of a project can invite multiple users to their project, and a user can be a part of multiple projects, these features are covered under the teaming section.
Summary#
Projects can be imagined as separations between multiple different configurations for your chaos and help you manage collaborations between multiple teams.
