How do I add a project in Automation Pipelines

You create a project and add administrators and members to it. Project members can use features such as creating a pipeline and adding an endpoint. To create, delete, or update a project for a development team, you must be a Automation Pipelines administrator.

A project must exist before you can create a pipeline. When you create a pipeline, you select a project that groups all your pipeline information together. Definitions for endpoints and variables also depend on an existing project.

Prerequisites

• Verify that you have the Automation Pipelines administrator role. See What are Roles in Automation Pipelines.
• If you do not have the Automation Pipelines administrator role, but you are an administrator in Automation Assembler, you can use the Automation Assembler UI to create, update, or delete projects. See How do I add a project for my Automation Assembler development team in Using Automation Assembler.
• If you are adding Active Directory groups to projects, verify that you configured Active Directory groups for your organization. See How do I enable Active Directory groups in VMware Aria Automation for projects in Using Automation Assembler. If the groups are not synchronized, they are not available when you try to add them to a project.

Procedure

1. Select Projects, and click New Project.
2. Enter the project name.
3. Click Create.
4. Select the card for the newly created project, and click Open.
5. Click the Users tab and add users and assign roles.
   • The project administrator can add members.
   • The project member who has a service role can use services.
   • The project viewer can see projects but cannot create, update, or delete them.
   For more information about project roles, see How do I manage user access and approvals in Automation Pipelines.
6. Click Save.

What to do next

Add endpoints and pipelines that use the project. See and Connecting Automation Pipelines to endpoints and Creating and using pipelines in Automation Pipelines.

After you create a pipeline, the name of the project that groups all your pipeline information together appears on pipeline cards and pipeline execution cards.
