Projects
The Projects view is used to manage projects within the current tenant. Projects provide an access-controlled boundary for organizing and sharing resources created in the platform.
Use the "Show hidden projects" and "Only show favorite projects" checkboxes on the Projects view to filter hidden and favorited projects. These filters persist across sessions.
To create a new project, click the "New Project" button from the Projects view.

createproject-1
Click the Save button to finish creating the project. The project will be visible from the Projects view.
During project creation, select the "I want to manage my own storage" checkbox to use a Storage Configuration as the data provider for the project.
createproject-2
With a storage configuration set, a project will have a 2-way sync with the external cloud storage provider: any data added directly to the external storage will be sync'ed into the ICA project data, and any data added to the project will be sync'ed into the external cloud storage.
Illumina software applications built on top of ICA (ie, BSSH) use externally-managed projects to store resources, where the project is owned by the application and users in the tenant are limited to read-only access when accessing the project directly through ICA.
Projects are indicated as externally-managed in the projects overview screen by a project card with a light color and a lock symbol followed by "managed by app".
