5. Setting Up A Project

When logging in for the first time as an admin you will likely see the following screen as there will be no existing projects.

After selecting Create Project fill out the form as below, noting the following things;

  • The Name and Description can be changed at a later date whereas the Project Key cannot.
  • The Project Key will be used in the URL of the project and all of it's resources (notebooks & sites) hence it is important to pick something unique and clear.

create project

Once you have submitted this, you should be able to browse into the project and see information such as the current members, as well as a number of options on the sidebar for creation of resouces as wellas administering the project. See other tutorials for creation of resources, however importantly from this page you can add additional users as well as change information about the project itself such as its Name and Description.

In order to add a new user to the project, enter their e-mail address (they should have logged in previously in order to do this) into the Add User box and assign them a permission before pressing Add. In this case user2@ceh.ac.uk has been made an admin of the project.
