Projects

Projects allow you to separately manage your feature flags and experiments across your different business units, product lines, and applications. When you first create your account, you're provided with one project named Default. This project has two environments and one traffic type created underneath it. You can rename and edit these environments and traffic types and add more to the Default project.

The following objects are also located in a project. Refer object model map below for reference:

When you onboard different business units to Harness FME, you can add up to 20 projects within your account to allow each team to have a separated space to manage their experiments and feature flags. You can manage your projects from your Admin Settings page. Here, you can add new projects or edit existing ones.

About setting project permissions​

You can set view permissions to your projects or projects you have administrator rights to and any objects within the project. This allows you more granular control over which users, groups, and API keys can access the objects in projects to support access requirements within an account. These objects include feature flags, segments, metrics, traffic types, and environments. This also allows you to determine who can see if a certain project exists.
