        A project defines the scope of resources in a policy statement. Resources can be in more than one project.


        When a project is created, the system also creates three policies associated with the new project,

        one for each of the following roles: editor, viewer, and project owner.

        You can optionally pass the `skip_policies` flag set to `true` to skip the creation of these policies.
