Public Preview: please provide feedback at: Creates one project.

Projects group clusters into logical collections that support an application environment, workload, or both. Each project can have its own users, teams, security, tags, and alert settings. To use this resource, the requesting Service Account or API Key must have the Read Write role.

This command is autogenerated and corresponds 1:1 with the Atlas API endpoint https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/reference/api-resources-spec/v2/#tag/Projects/operation/createProject.

For more information and examples, see the referenced API documentation linked above.

Description

--envelope

envelope

false

Flag that indicates whether Application wraps the response in an envelope JSON object. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query. Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Application adds the status parameter to the response body.

string

false

path to your API request file. Leave empty to use standard input instead - you must provide one or the other, but not both.

-h, --help

false

help for createProject

--output

string

false

preferred api format, can be ["json", go-template] This value defaults to "json".

--output-file

string

false

--pretty

false

Flag that indicates whether the response body should be in the prettyprint format.

--projectOwnerId

string

false

Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the MongoDB Cloud user to whom to grant the Project Owner role on the specified project. If you set this parameter, it overrides the default value of the oldest Organization Owner.

string

false

api version to use when calling the api call [options: "2023-01-01"], defaults to the latest version or the profiles api_version config value if set This value defaults to "2023-01-01".
