# Projects

***

## Managing projects using the control panel

Each organization must have at least one project. If you haven’t already created a project, a green button with the text **Create your first project** will appear at the top of the left-hand menu.

The current project is always displayed at the top of the left-hand menu. By clicking the three dots next to the project name, you can change the project's name and color or request its removal.

If you click on the project name or the downward arrow, you can create new projects.

### The project's ID number

The project's ID number is used for many purposes in Glesys, such as a prefix for usernames in various services like the VPN service. The project's ID number is also used for API calls.

You find the project's ID number in the browser's URL field. For example, the URL might look like this: `https://cloud.glesys.com/#/12345?project=cl43212`. Here, `cl43212` is the project's ID number. The number `12345` is the organization's ID number.

## Managing projects using the API

You can manage your projects using the [API](/platform/control-panel/api.md). To list your current projects, use the [customer/listprojects](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#customerlistprojects) endpoint. To create a new project, use the [customer/createproject](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#customercreateproject) endpoint.

To edit a project, such as its color, use the [project/edit](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#projectedit) endpoint. To rename a project, use the [project/rename](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#projectrename) endpoint. To delete a project, use the [project/delete](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#projectdelete) endpoint.
