h2. Projects list

The projects list shows all active projects by default. To view all projects (active and archived projects) change the status filter to _All_. Note that there is also the project list for regular users that can be accessed by clicking on @Projects@ in the top menu. Non-administrator can create new projects in this list (and close projects within a project), but cannot do more administrative operations as it is possible in project list within the administration area that gets discussed here. Depending on the [[RedmineRoles|user permissions]] the here presented project list may be the only place to manage projects at all.

* *Public:* If the icon !/images/true.png! is present the project is public and everyone can see this project and may do things that are allowed by the roles [[RedmineRoles#System-roles|Non member and Anonymous]]. Non-public projects can be viewed only by a user who was given access by an administrator of the project.

h2. Closing a project

This sets a project to a read-only state. A closed project is still be accessible like a regular project but nothing can be changed anymore, thus it is read-only.

*The link to close a project is available on a per Project basis in the [[RedmineProjectOverview|Overview]] screen of the project itself. It is not part of the project list shown above.*

From the projects list, click the !/images/locked.png! *Archive* link to archive a project.

An archived project is no longer visible by users. It can be un-archived (with its original content) by the administrator. When archiving a project, any subproject is also archived.

Note that archiving a project does not reduce storage usage. It only hides the project but does not compress it.

h2. Deleting a project

From the projects list, click the !/images/delete.png! *Delete* link. You will be asked for confirmation on a separate screen.

This is pure deletion of the project and all its subprojects. Contrary to Archive, you can't restore a deleted project. Use it with a clear-mind.
