Note
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 One Project

To create a project for an organization, you must be either an
Organization Owneror anOrganization Project Creator.When you create a project, you are added as an

Navigate to the Create a Project page.
If it is not already displayed, select the organization that contains your desired project from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar.
