# Create new project

When you log in to the BetterBugs dashboard for the first time, you'll see "**My Project**" as the default project in your current workspace (default: My Workspace). 

You can also create project(s) in your workspace or edit an existing one (from [project settings](/dashboard/project-settings.md)).

#### Create New Project in Your Current Workspace

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

Hit "**Next**".&#x20;
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Set Access Permissions for Project Accessibility (set who can access the project)

  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Set Access Permissions for Sessions (set who can view the project reports)

Next, select between:
