# Granting Project Creation Rights to a User

## Overview: grant project creation rights

Project creation is controlled by the user's **company role**. Assigning **Moderator** or **Admin** in **Users** lets that person create projects, which is used when a team member must start new projects without asking a Company Admin each time.

Project roles such as **Manager** or **Contractor** only apply inside a project and do not grant project creation.

* Your role must be **Company Admin**.
* You can find the menu at Profile icon - **Users**.
* This changes whether the user can see and use **Create Project**.

|| Only users with the company role **Admin** can grant project creation rights to other users.

## How to grant project creation rights

1. Click your **profile icon** in the top right corner.
2. Select **Users**.
3. Add the user if they are not already in the company user list.
4. Change their **company role** to **Moderator** or **Admin**.
