Creating a new project#

In Allegra, a project corresponds to a workspace. Subprojects are represented by sub-workspaces. To be able to create a project at the top hierarchy level, you must have the system role “System Administrator” or “System Manager”. To create subprojects, it is sufficient if you have a workspace role with project administrator rights in the parent project. You have three ways to create a new project:

  • You create a new project from scratch (see:ref:newProject)

  • You copy an existing project

  • You create a new project from a workspace template (project template)

Each project is of a certain workspace type, from which it inherits many of its configuration settings. Through the configuration of workspace types, you can centrally change the configuration of all dependent projects or workspaces at any time.

  • Creating a new project from scratch

    Since every item must be assigned to a workspace or project, you can only use the system if at least one such workspace has been created and you have a role in it with appropriate rights.

  • Creating a Project by Copying

    Since every item must be assigned to a workspace or project, you can only use the system if at least one such workspace has been created and you have a role in it with appropriate rights. You can create a new project by copying an existing one.

  • Create a Project from a Template

    You can create a new workspace based on a workspace template. The procedure is the same as copying a project.

  • Registration of Team Members

    Before someone can work on a project, they must be known to the system as a user. Registration can be done by a system manager. If self-registration is allowed, users can also register themselves.

  • Assign Roles

    Before someone can do something in a workspace or project, they must be assigned at least one role for this workspace. Roles are associated with permissions such as being able to change items or create new items.
