Manage Projects

Introduction

A project in ZEDEDA Cloud is a logical grouping of edge nodes, edge app policies, attestation policies, and others. These are grouped together so that when an edge node joins a project, the project has all the policies predefined, and the edge nodes can be more easily managed.

When you create an edge node in your enterprise, you are prompted to assign a project to the edge node. Some planning must be done in advance to determine which policies you want your project to contain before you apply it to your edge nodes. 

This article explains how to manage your projects using the ZEDEDA GUI, including viewing, updating, and deleting the projects.

View your Projects

After you create projects, you can view them.

1. Hover on the Administration dropdown menu.
2. Select Projects from the options.
3. This page displays basic information about your projects, for example:
   Name, Type (Standard or Deployment), Profile (Regular or Azure), Edge Node Attestation, Edge App Policy, Network Instance Policy, and so on.
4. Click a target project. This page displays a more detailed view, with separate tabs for Basic Info (Name, ID, Title), Policies (policies in this project), and Events (Timestamp, Severity, Description and other information).
   
   

Update a Project

After you create a project, you can update it when things change.

1. Navigate to your Projects list view  (Admin > Projects) and select a project.
2. Click on the Basic Info tab and click the pencil icon. From here you can update the Title, Description, or Tags.
3. Click on the Policies tab and click the pencil icon. From here, you can select or clear the checkboxes to add or remove policies from your project (for "Standard" type projects). For example, you could add a ‘configuration lock policy’ or remove an ‘edge node attestation policy’.
4. Make your changes.
5. Click Save. A toast notification appears.
   
   

Delete a Project

After you create a project, you can delete it when you no longer need it.

1. Navigate to your Projects list view (Admin > Projects) and click a target project.
2. Click on the Basic Info tab.
3. From the details page, click the ellipsis in the upper right of the page.
4. Select Delete from the dropdown options.
5. Confirm the deletion. A toast message will appear.

NOTE: Projects cannot be deleted if attached to more than one deployment.
