Cognite Projects API
Projects are used to isolate data in CDF from each other. All objects in CDF belong to a single project, and objects in different projects are generally isolated from each other.

security:

description: 'Create a project in the specified organization, in the given cluster. The project is immediately available
for login in Cognite applications, for example through Cognite Data Fusion.
#### Cluster placement
The chosen cluster must be one of the allowed clusters for the organization.
The project cannot be moved to a different cluster after creation, so make sure to choose the correct one
with respect to data locality requirements.
#### Project OIDC configuration
The OIDC configuration will be copied from the immediate parent organization.
The caller can, and should, set an initial admin group ID for the project. That group is managed by the external
identity provider, as for the organization.
If that group is not set, the project will inherit the admin group ID of the organization it''s created in.
See the `projectAdminGroupId` field in the request body for more details on this behavior.
#### Access control
Requires the caller to be an admin in the organization, or any of its ancestors.
In addition, the flag `adminsCanCreateProjectsInSubtree` must be set to `true` in that organization.
_Example:_ Assume an organization hierarchy like: `org-a` -> `org-b` -> `org-c`.
To create a project in `org-c`, which means calling ''POST /api/v1/orgs/org-c/projects'', the caller must be an admin in
`org-a`, `org-b` or `org-c`.
Also, `adminsCanCreateProjectsInSubtree` must be `true` in that same organization.'

#### Access control
If `includeAdminProperties` is true, it requires the caller to be an admin in the organization, or any of its ancestors.
Otherwise, it requires the caller to be a member of the organization.
_Example:_ Assume an organization hierarchy like: `org-a` -> `org-b` -> `org-c`.
To list projects in `org-c`, which means calling ''GET /api/v1/orgs/org-c/projects?includeAdminProperties'',
the caller must be an admin in `org-a`, `org-b` or `org-c`.'
