Create a Project

A project is your self-contained IoT environment. It holds your devices, the apps running on them, all associated settings, and the privilege structure for each asset.

Each project is fully independent — devices, apps, and permissions cannot be shared across projects. You can create as many projects as you need.

Create a New Project

1. Click the project dropdown in the top-left corner of the navigation. This shows all projects visible to you.
2. Click Create Project.
3. Enter a name and a short description.
4. Click Create.

Your new project appears in the dropdown immediately. Select it to enter your device management environment where you’ll add devices, build device groups, install apps, and monitor everything.

At this point, the project has no devices and no device groups — that’s expected. You don’t need any devices or other setup before creating a project.

Project Ownership

Every project has a single owner — the user who created it. The owner is the super user of the project: they have full control over all devices, apps, groups, and settings within it. All devices in the project belong to the owner.

Project Settings

Click Settings inside your project to configure:

• Project information — Change the project name and description.
• Project privileges — Invite other users to collaborate and assign granular permissions.

Sharing Your Project

Projects are private by default and only visible to the owner and explicitly invited users. To collaborate with others:

1. Go to Settings → Project Privileges.
2. Click Invite User and enter a username of an existing IronFlock user, or any email address.
3. Assign permissions: update, create device, create group, grant privileges, or delete.
4. Click Invite.

An invitation email is sent to the specified address — regardless of whether the recipient already has an IronFlock account. If they don’t, they can sign up through the invitation link. Once accepted, they can access your project with the permissions you assigned.
