## 1.1. WORKING WITH PROJECTS 

## CHAPTER 1. PROJECTS 

A project  allows a community of users to organize and manage their content in isolation from other communities. 

## NOTE 

Projects starting with openshift-  and kube-  are default projects . These projects host cluster components that run as pods and other infrastructure components. As such, OpenShift Container Platform does not allow you to create projects starting with openshift-  or kube-  using the oc new-project  command. Cluster administrators can create these projects using the oc adm new-project  command. 

## NOTE 

You cannot assign an SCC to pods created in one of the default namespaces: default , kube-system , kube-public , openshift-node , openshift-infra , and openshift . You cannot use these namespaces for running pods or services. 

## 1.1.1. Creating a project using the web console 

If allowed by your cluster administrator, you can create a new project. 

## NOTE 

Projects starting with openshift-  and kube-  are considered critical by OpenShift Container Platform. As such, OpenShift Container Platform does not allow you to create Projects starting with openshift-  using the web console. 

## NOTE 

You cannot assign an SCC to pods created in one of the default namespaces: default , kube-system , kube-public , openshift-node , openshift-infra , and openshift . You cannot use these namespaces for running pods or services.
