Groups are now projects.

In Cloud Manager, MongoDB deployments are associated with projects.

You can create multiple projects in an organization. Each project has its own Monitoring, Backup and Automations associated with the project. Projects within the same organization share the same billing settings.

Working with Multiple Environments¶

For a project, the Monitoring must be able to connect to all hosts it monitors. If you have multiple MongoDB deployments in distinct environments and cannot monitor all deployments with a single agent (for instance, if your environments are separated by firewalls), you will need to add new projects.

You can also use multiple projects and agents if you want to separately monitor different MongoDB deployments that run in the same environment.

Create a Project¶

Important

To create a project for an organization, you must be either an Organization Owner or an Organization Project Creator.
When you create a project, you are added as an Project Owner of the project.
When you create a project, Cloud Manager automatically assigns a set of default alert configurations to the project.

Procedure¶

1

Add new project to an organization.¶

In the Context, either:

Select the organization for which you wish to create a project and then select + New Project, or
Select + New Project to create a project for the current organization.

2

Select either Cloud Manager or MongoDB Atlas and click Next.¶

For more information on MongoDB Atlas, see https://www.mongodb.com/cloud.

3

Enter a name for the Project.¶

If you selected an MongoDB Atlas project, enter a name for the Organization.

4

(Optional) Configure LDAP options.¶

If managing Cloud Manager users through LDAP, enter values for the following Optional LDAP Configuration fields .

Important

Multiple LDAP Groups Can Map to One Role

Ops Manager roles can include more than one LDAP group. Type multiple LDAP group names in the relevant role fields separated by two semicolons (;;).

Field	Action
LDAP Groups for Project Owner Role	Type the LDAP group(s) to which the Project Owners of the Cloud Manager project belong. You can type multiple LDAP groups into this field if they are separated by two semicolons (`;;`).
LDAP Groups for Automation Admin Role	Type the LDAP group(s) to which Cloud Manager project’s Automation Administrators belong. You can type multiple LDAP groups into this field if they are separated by two semicolons (`;;`).

For new Cloud Manager users, enter their email address to send an invitation.

6

Specify the access for the members.¶

Click Create Project.¶

Delete a Project¶

Important

Deleting a project removes all the project’s artifacts, including all monitoring data. Cloud Manager no longer displays the project in selection lists.

You can delete a project if:

You have the Project Owner access for the project.
The project has no backups. To terminate your backups prior to removing the project, see Terminate a Deployment’s Backups.

Procedure¶

1

In the Context, select the project’s organization to view the organization’s Projects.¶

2

Delete the project¶

Click the trash icon button for the project you wish to delete.

3

Continue by clicking Delete Project¶

If prompted for authentication, enter the verification code. After verifying, click Delete Project again.

4

Click Done.¶

Cloud Manager deletes the project, and users no longer have access to it.

5
