Where a project comes from

Projects are not created autonomously in 4HSE. There are two ways one comes into existence, and which one applies decides how the project bills and who reaches it.

Who creates it

Situation	Who creates the project
You have a multi-company panel	an Admin of the panel — see Create a multi-company project
You do not have a panel	4HSE, at the time of activation

There is no third way: a user cannot open a new project on their own.

The two kinds of project

	Corporate project	Multi-company project
Billing	valid for a single VAT number, that of the invoice holder	part of the multi-company plan
Access for panel users	not shared: each user has to be added by hand	automatic on every linked project
Where it appears	in the desktop of whoever has access to it	in the multi-company panel

Why it matters

The difference becomes apparent when someone looks for a project and cannot find it. A corporate project does not appear in the panel, and the colleagues enabled on the panel do not reach it: their access has to be granted project by project, like on any other entity — see Set permissions.

If you manage several companies and want them all under one roof, that is what the panel is for — see The multi-company panel.
