For example, you can: + +- Manage permissions for your projects. +- View all of the issues and merge requests for the projects in the group. +- View all unique users in your namespace, across all projects. +- Manage usage quotas. +- Start a trial or upgrade to a paid tier. This option is important if you're + impacted by the [changes to user limits](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2022/03/24/efficient-free-tier/), + and need more users. + +However, if you're working in a [personal project](../user/project/working_with_projects.md#view-personal-projects), +you can't use these features. Personal projects are created under your +[personal namespace](../user/group/index.md#namespaces). They're not part of a group, +so you can't get any of the benefits and features of a group. + +But don't worry! You can move your existing personal project to a group. +The next steps show you how. + +## Steps + +Here's an overview of what we're going to do: + +1. [Create a group](#create-a-group). +1. [Move your project to a group](#move-your-project-to-a-group). +1. [Work with your group](#work-with-your-group). + +### Create a group + +To begin, make sure you have a suitable group to move your project to. +The group must allow the creation of projects, and you must have at least the +Maintainer role for the group. + +If you don't have a group, create one: + +1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Groups > Create group** +1. Select **Create group**. +1. In **Group name**, enter a name for the group. +1. In **Group URL**, enter a path for the group, which is used as the namespace. +1. Choose the [visibility level](../user/public_access.md). +1. Optional. Fill in information to personalize your experience. +1. Select **Create group**. + +### Move your project to a group + +Before you move your project to a group: + +- You must have the Owner role for the project. +- Remove any [container images](../user/packages/container_registry/index.md#limitations) + and [NPM packages](../user/packages/npm_registry/index.md#limitations). + +Now you're ready to move your project: + +1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Projects** and find your project. +1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > General**. +1. Expand **Advanced**. +1. Under **Transfer project**, choose the group to transfer the project to. +1. Select **Transfer project**. +1. Enter the project's name and select **Confirm**. + +You are redirected to the project's new page. +If you have more than one personal project, you can repeat these steps for each +project. + +NOTE: +For more information about these migration steps, +see [Transferring your project into another namespace](../user/project/settings/index.md#transferring-an-existing-project-into-another-namespace). +A migration might result in follow-up work to update the project path in +your related resources and tools, such as websites and package managers. + +### Work with your group + +You can now view your project in your group: + +1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Groups** and find your group. +1. Look for your project under **Subgroups and projects**. + +Start enjoying the benefits of a group! For example, as the group Owner, you can +quickly view all unique users in your namespace: + +1. In your group, select **Settings > Usage Quotas**. +1. The **Seats** tab displays all users across all projects in your group. |
