================================= Manage projects, users, and roles ================================= As an administrator, you manage projects, users, and roles. Projects are organizational units in the cloud to which you can assign users. Projects are also known as *tenants* or *accounts*. Users can be members of one or more projects. Roles define which actions users can perform. You assign roles to user-project pairs. You can define actions for OpenStack service roles in the ``/etc/PROJECT/policy.json`` files. For example, define actions for Compute service roles in the ``/etc/nova/policy.json`` file. You can manage projects, users, and roles independently from each other. During cloud set up, the operator defines at least one project, user, and role. You can add, update, and delete projects and users, assign users to one or more projects, and change or remove the assignment. To enable or temporarily disable a project or user, update that project or user. You can also change quotas at the project level. Before you can delete a user account, you must remove the user account from its primary project. Before you can run client commands, you must download and source an OpenStack RC file. See `Download and source the OpenStack RC file `_. Projects ~~~~~~~~ A project is a group of zero or more users. In Compute, a project owns virtual machines. In Object Storage, a project owns containers. Users can be associated with more than one project. Each project and user pairing can have a role associated with it.
