OpenShift Container Platform 4.5 Applications 6 CHAPTER 1. PROJECTS 1.1. WORKING WITH PROJECTS 1.1.1. Creating a project using the web console 1.1.2. Creating a project using the Developer perspective in the web console Procedure NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE A  project  allows a community of users to organize and manage their content in isolation from other communities. Projects starting with  openshift-  and  kube-  are  default projects . These projects host cluster components that run as pods and other infrastructure components. As such, OpenShift Container Platform does not allow you to create projects starting with  openshift-  or  kube-  using the  oc new-project  command. Cluster administrators can create these projects using the  oc adm new-project  command. You cannot assign an SCC to pods created in one of the default namespaces:  default ,  kube-system ,  kube-public ,  openshift-node ,  openshift-infra , and  openshift . You cannot use these namespaces for running pods or services. If allowed by your cluster administrator, you can create a new project. Projects starting with  openshift-  and  kube-  are considered critical by OpenShift Container Platform. As such, OpenShift Container Platform does not allow you to create Projects starting with  openshift-  using the web console. You cannot assign an SCC to pods created in one of the default namespaces:  default ,  kube-system ,  kube-public ,  openshift-node ,  openshift-infra , and  openshift . You cannot use these namespaces for running pods or services. You can use the  Developer  perspective in the OpenShift Container Platform web console to create a project in your cluster. 1.
