# What is a Project?

A **Project** is a shared workspace where authorized users can manage data analysis in Experiments. Consider a project as a dedicated workspace designed for managing specific tasks or initiatives. Projects are created by linking a billing account and setting user preferences. During setup, the creator can assign **Copy**, **Delete**, and **Download** access to members. Copy and Download permissions can be granted or restricted for specific individuals (Contributors), while Delete access can be limited to Admins or extended to all Contributors.

Three steps constitute Project creation:

1. **Create Project:** Provide a name and description for the project.
2. **Billing and Access:** Configure billing settings and assign access permissions (Copy, Delete, Download) to project members.
3. **Add Members:** Invite users by their username or email address and define their roles as Admin, Contributor, Viewer, or Uploader.
