Request

Parameters

Name	In	Type	Description
`project`	body	object	A `project` object.
`name`	body	string	The unique name of the project within the owning domain.
`is_domain` (Optional)	body	boolean	Indicates whether the project also acts as a domain. If set to `true`, this project acts as both a project and domain. As a domain, the project provides a name space in which you can create users, groups, and other projects. If set to `false`, this project behaves as a regular project that contains only resources. Default is `false`. You cannot update this parameter after you create the project. New in version 3.6
`description` (Optional)	body	string	The description of the project.
`domain_id` (Optional)	body	string	The ID of the domain for the project. For projects acting as a domain, the `domain_id` must not be specified, it will be generated by the Identity service implementation. For regular projects (i.e. those not acing as a domain), if `domain_id` is not specified, but `parent_id` is specified, then the domain ID of the parent will be used. If neither `domain_id` or `parent_id` is specified, the Identity service implementation will default to the domain to which the client’s token is scoped. If both `domain_id` and `parent_id` are specified, and they do not indicate the same domain, an `Bad Request (400)` will be returned.
`enabled` (Optional)	body	boolean	If set to `true`, project is enabled. If set to `false`, project is disabled. The default is `true`.
`parent_id` (Optional)	body	string	The ID of the parent of the project. If specified on project creation, this places the project within a hierarchy and implicitly defines the owning domain, which will be the same domain as the parent specified. If `parent_id` is not specified and `is_domain` is `false`, then the project will use its owning domain as its parent. If `is_domain` is `true` (i.e. the project is acting as a domain), then `parent_id` must not specified (or if it is, it must be `null`) since domains have no parents. `parent_id` is immutable, and can’t be updated after the project is created - hence a project cannot be moved within the hierarchy. New in version 3.4
`tags` (Optional)	body	array	A list of simple strings assigned to a project. Tags can be used to classify projects into groups.
`options` (Optional)	body	object	The resource options for the project. Available resource options are `immutable`.
