Creating projects

You can create and manage projects within a tenant in webMethods Integration to structure and configure your integrations.

Procedure

  1. Click New Project, and then click Create to create a new project in webMethods Integration.
    Note: You can import a project by clicking Import after clicking New Project. For more information, see Importing projects.
  2. In the dialog that opens, enter a suitable name for the project that you want to create.
    Note: Default and All are reserved keywords and cannot be used as project names.
  3. In Source Control - Git server/account, select the source control name of the Git account that has access to the repository. For more information, see Linking Git repository to projects.
  4. In Access, select one of the options to define project permissions.
    Only shared members
    Select this option to create a project in private visibility mode.
    Anyone in the environment
    Select this option to create a project in public visibility mode.
    Note: Starting with the June 2026 release, a project is created in private mode by default. You can set the project access to public, but for better control, keep the project private and share it with specific users. Projects created before the June 2026 release are public by default. For more information, see Convert public project to private.
  5. Choose a color and an icon to represent the project on the dashboard.
    These visual identifiers help distinguish projects in both card and list views.
  6. Click Create.
    A new project is created. You can now create workflows and flow services inside this project.

Results

New projects appear as cards on the dashboard by default. To view them in a list, click the List view icon on the page. To switch back, click the Card view icon.

Each project card displays the following details:
  • An ownership icon project ownership details indicates the project ownership details.
  • The number of workflows and flow services, visible on hover through the gear icon.
  • A Git icon with a green dot indicates that the project is linked to an external Git repository.
  • A rocket icon indicates that a new deployment is available for the tenant. A New tag for projects that have not yet been deployed. For more information, see Deploying projects.
Persistent search
When you search for a project and navigate inside it, your search term remains intact upon returning to the dashboard.
Persistent view state
The platform remembers the last accessed project and the scroll position.
  • The previously opened project appears with a blue border.
  • The dashboard returns to the last viewed position automatically, which eliminates the need to scroll back manually.
Note:
  • Starting with the October 2025 release, new tenants will no longer have a Default project provisioned automatically. Create a project manually after logging in for the first time.
  • Existing tenants retain their current Default project, and you cannot delete or rename it as before.

What to do next

You can manage the project by selecting the respective option in the overflow menu on the project card. The menu displays the owner information, followed by the available project management actions.

Edit project information
Modify the project details.
Publish projects
Publish the project to a tenant environment. For more information, see Publishing projects.
Delete
To delete a project, in the Confirm Delete Project dialog, you need to enter Delete <project_name> to confirm and proceed with the deletion. Make sure that the project name exactly matches the original name that you used when you created the project, including the correct case.
Important: The deletion is irreversible. Once deleted, the project and all its associated data, including workflows, flow services, and assets, are permanently removed.
Roles and permissions
For information on how to manage roles and project permissions, see Managing roles.
Convert public project to private
A project owner or an administrator can make a public project as private if required for a new project only. After a project is created or converted to private, its visibility cannot be changed back to public. To convert a public project to a private one, open the project card’s overflow menu and select Switch to private. The project is converted to private. Any user who previously had access lose access to the project and its assets unless the project is explicitly shared with them with write permission.
