# Create a Project

In Harbor, you create different projects to which you assign users so that they can push and pull image repositories. You also configure project-specific settings. When you first deploy Harbor, a default public project named `library` is created. 

## Prerequisites

Log in to Harbor with a Harbor administrator or project administrator account.

## Procedure

1. Go to  **Projects** and click **New Project**.
1. Provide a name for the project.
1. (Optional) Check the **Public** check box to make the project public.

   If you set the project to **Public**, any user can pull images from this project. If you leave the project set to **Private**, only users who are members of the project can pull images. You can toggle projects from public to private, or the reverse, at any moment after you create the project.
   
   ![create project](../img/new_create_project.png)  
   
5. Click **OK**.

After the project is created, you can browse repositories, members, logs, replication and configuration using the navigation tab.

![browse project](../img/new_browse_project.png)

There are two views to show repositories, list view and card view, you can switch between them by clicking the corresponding icon.

![browse repositories](../img/browse_project_repositories.png)

Project properties can be changed by clicking "Configuration".

* To make all repositories under the project accessible to everyone, select the `Public` checkbox.

* To prevent un-signed images under the project from being pulled, select the `Enable content trust` checkbox.

## Searching Projects and Repositories
Entering a keyword in the search field at the top lists all matching projects and repositories. The search result includes both public and private repositories you have access to.
