Overview
JFrog Projects is a management entity for hosting your resources (repositories, builds, Release Bundles, and Pipelines), and for associating users/groups as members with specific entitlements. As such, using projects helps Platform Admins to offload part of their day-to-day management effort and to generate a better separation between the customer products to improve customer visibility on efficiency, scale, cost, and security. Projects simplifies the onboarding process for new users, and create better visibility for LOBs and project stakeholders.
The Platform and Project Admins create and manage projects in a dedicated Projects section in the Administration module. Platform Admins first set up the initial projects and assign Project Admins to the project, who can then assign RBAC roles to the Platform users. The projects will then serve as filters and are not visible to the users in the Platform but allow users to view resources based on their project membership and permissions.
Projects Support in the JFrog Platform
From Artifactory 7.31.10, the JFrog Projects feature is now supported on all JFrog Subscriptions but varies on the number of projects, according to the following subscription types:
Pro/X subscription: Up to 3 projects (No option to extend this subscription).
Enterprise subscription: Up to 30 projects (No option to extend this subscription)
Enterprise+ subscription: Up to a total of 300 unique projects for each subscription with the option to increase the number of projects by purchasing an additional License Bucket. Each bucket supports an additional 100 projects.
Project Allocation for Enterprise+ Subscriptions
For Enterprise+ subscriptions, the number of Projects is per subscription and not per JPD and is managed by Mission Control.
The number of Projects applies to all your instances and is not related to the number of servers in your deployment. Mission Control manages the Project allocation for each connected JPD, and counts the allocated projects separately.

Before You Begin
When using projects, you will encounter new terminology and concepts. Before you begin planning and working with projects--and before creating your first project--it is important that you read the following topics carefully:
Getting Started with Projects
After familiarizing yourself with the terminology and concepts, follow these steps according to your status:

The project-related features in the JFrog Platform UI are:
 |
Number | Project-Related Feature |
|---|---|
1 | In the Administration module, Platform Admins and Project Admins can view a Projects dropdown on the taskbar. The All dropdown lists all the projects created by the Platform Admin, including an All entry, displaying the global project settings for the entire platform. |
2 | A Projects tab is displayed in the Administration module left pane. The Platform Admin has access to this page and can view and create projects. |
3 | The Global Roles sub tab is added under Identity and Access to the Administration module. The Platform Administrator can define Global roles that will be available across the projects. |
