Creating a project

A Crucible project provides a way to group and manage related reviews – typically reviews that are all involved with the same software project. A Crucible project allows you to

• define default moderators, authors and reviewers for the reviews in that project.
• define which people are eligible to be reviewers for the reviews in that project.
• use permission schemes to restrict who can perform particular actions (e.g. 'Create Review') in that project.

Every Crucible review belongs to a project. Each project has a name (e.g. ACME Development) and a key (e.g. ACME). The project key becomes the first part of that project's review keys, e.g. ACME-101, ACME-102, etc:

By default, Crucible contains one project. This default project has the key 'CR' and the name 'Default Project'.

To create a new project:

1. Click the 'cog' menu in the Crucible header, and choose Administration. You need to be logged in as an administrator to see this.

3. Click Add a new project (at the top-right corner).
4. Complete the fields in the 'Edit Project' page (described below).
