Creating Project

A project is a container that isolates and secures the project information such that it can be viewed by only those who have access to the project. By design, an admin or owner of the organization must create a project so that the same can be used by members for pushing data to the platform.
When an admin or an owner in FactoryTalk Hub, creates an organization, a project is provisioned in FactoryTalk DataMosaix. After the admin or owner in FactoryTalk Hub creates the organization, for the very first time when the user clicks FactoryTalk DataMosaix tile in FT Hub, or if the admin tries to sign-in to FactoryTalk DataMosaix, the admin is able to see a message prompting that creating a project is necessary to continue.
Creating a project is a one-time activity. You can create only one project per organization.
