PDFs
Within the NetApp Console, you organize your NetApp resources using projects and folders. A project represents a workspace in the Console that organization members access to manage resources (for example, a Cloud Volumes ONTAP system). A folder groups related projects together. After you organize your resources into folders and projects, you can grant granular access to resources by providing organization members with permissions to specific folders and projects.
Add a folder or project
When you create your organization, it includes a single project. Add projects to manage resources and folders to group related projects.
Your organization's resource hierarchy can have up to seven levels, with folders nested six levels deep and projects at the seventh.
