Artifactory projects

Artifactory’s project feature allows you to create isolated environments for better collaboration among team members.

You can find information on how to manage projects and migration workflows on this page.

Create and Manage Projects

Here’s how you can set up and work with projects in Artifactory:

Create a New Project

📩 To create a new project in Artifactory, request the creation of a new project from your Artifactory platform administrator.

Create Project Repositories

This action can be performed by the project administrator without requiring a platform administrator.

• Select your project in the Projects drop-down menu.
• Select the Administration tab on the top menu.
• In the Resources section, select Create Repository.
• Select the type of repository you need (Local, Remote, or Virtual).
• Configure the repository settings, such as name and package type.

Please refer to the naming conventions and guidelines provided in the Artifactory Guide .

Assign Repositories to Projects

📩 This action can be done by the platform administrator at the request of the project administrator.

The request should include some details and justifications:

• Necessity to move the repository to the project.
• Proof that the requested repository is used (only) by the same team as the project.
• Confirmation that the repository is not already assigned to another project.

Once the checks are done, the platform administrator can proceed with the repository assignment:

Configure Project Members

This action can be performed by the project administrator without requiring a platform administrator. To configure project members, follow these steps:

• Within your newly created project, go to the User Management > Members tab.
• Select Add Members.
• Search for and select the users you want to add to the project.
• Assign appropriate roles.

Add Partners as Project Members

This action can be performed by the project administrator without requiring a platform administrator.

• Request a nominative account or a service account from your Artifactory platform administrator.
• Specify that the account is for a partner and should be flagged as external.
• Once created, ensure that the partner’s account is in the external user group (External_User), which can only see public repositories.
• Grant access to the account on the project by adding it to the project members list.

Share Repository

📩 This action can be performed by your platform administrator, specifying the following elements:

• The project (source) you want to share
• The repository(ies) from the source project you want to share
• The project (target) to which it will be shared

Migrate to Project

Migrate Existing Repositories

To migrate existing repositories to a new project, follow these steps:

1. Create a New Project:

   • 📩 Request the creation of a new project .

2. Create a Virtual Repository:

   • Create a new Local Repository within the project to store your artifacts.
   • Create a new Virtual Repository within the project that aggregates your newly created repository with the old one.
   • Reference this virtual repository in your CI/CD pipeline.

3. Push New Artifacts:

   • Push your new artifacts to the new repository of your project.
   • Gradually migrate your data from the old repository to the new repository.

This process will be transparent for your CI/CD pipeline since the virtual repository will serve as the facade.

Project Deletion

📩 Project deletion can be performed by the platform administrator upon request from the project administrator.

The request should include the following details:

• Reason for deletion
• Confirmation that all repositories associated with the project has been reassigned to another project or are no longer needed.
