--- title: Create and manage projects description: Find, create, manage, and delete projects in Azure Migrate. author: ankitsurkar06 ms.author: ankitsurkar ms.service: azure-migrate ms.topic: how-to ms.date: 03/20/2025 ms.reviewer: v-uhabiba ms.custom: - engagement-fy23 - sfi-image-nochange # Customer intent: "As a cloud operations manager, I want to create and manage migration projects in Azure, so that I can efficiently track and orchestrate the discovery, assessment, and migration of assets into the cloud." --- # Create and manage projects ::: moniker range="migrate" This article shows you how to create, manage, and delete projects. A project is used to store discovery, business case, assessment, and migration metadata collected from the environment you're assessing or migrating. Within a project, you can track discovered assets, create business cases, conduct assessments, and orchestrate migrations to Azure. ::: moniker-end ::: moniker range="migrate-classic" Classic Azure Migrate is retiring in Feb 2024. After Feb 2024, the classic version of Azure Migrate will no longer be supported and the inventory metadata in the classic project will be deleted. If you're using classic projects, delete those projects and follow the steps to create a new project. You can't upgrade classic projects or components to Azure Migrate. View [FAQ](./resources-faq.md#i-have-a-project-with-the-previous-classic-experience-of-azure-migrate-how-do-i-start-using-the-new-version) before you start the creation process. A project is used to store discovery, assessment, and migration metadata collected from the environment you're assessing or migrating. In a project, you can track discovered assets, create assessments, and orchestrate migrations to Azure. ::: moniker-end ## Verify permissions Ensure you have the correct permissions to create a project using the following steps: 1. In the Azure portal, open the relevant subscription, and select **Access control (IAM)**. 2. In **Check access**, find the relevant account, and select it and view permissions. You should have *Contributor* or *Owner* permissions. ## Create a project for the first time ::: moniker range="migrate" Set up a new project in an Azure subscription. 1.

If you want to create the project within a specific Azure region, use the following API command to create the project. ```rest PUT /subscriptions/<subid>/resourceGroups/<rg>/providers/Microsoft.Migrate/MigrateProjects/<mymigrateprojectname>?api-version=2018-09-01-preview "{location: 'centralus', properties: {}}" ``` ::: moniker range="migrate" After you have created the project, perform the following steps to try out the new agentless dependency analysis enhancements: Ensure that you have installed Az CLI to execute the required commands by following the steps provided in the documentation [here](/cli/azure/install-azure-cli). After you install the Az CLI (in PowerShell), open PowerShell on your system as an Administrator and execute the following commands: 1. Log in to the Azure tenant and set the Subscription. - az login --tenant <TENANT_ID> - az account set --subscription <SUBSCRIPTION_ID> 1. Register the Dependency Map private preview feature on the Subscription. - az feature registration create --name PrivatePreview --namespace Microsoft.DependencyMap 1. Ensure that the feature is in registered state.  - az feature registration show --name PrivatePreview --provider-namespace Microsoft.DependencyMap - Output contains - "state": "Registered" 1. Register the new Dependency Map resource provider.  - az provider register --namespace Microsoft.DependencyMap 1. Ensure that the provider is in registered state. - az provider show -n Microsoft.DependencyMap - Output contains - "registrationState": "Registered" ::: moniker-end ## Create additional projects If you already have a project and you want to create an additional project, do the following: ::: moniker range="migrate-classic" 1.
