If you have a [Scaleway account](/account/how-to/create-an-account/), and subsequently an [Organization](/iam/concepts/#organization), you will also automatically have a [default Project](/organizations-and-projects/concepts/#default-project), that contains all your existing [resources](/iam/concepts/#resource). You can also create additional Projects, allowing you to group your resources.

<Message type="note">
  The default Project inherits the Organization ID. Therefore, the **default** status cannot be transferred to other Projects.
</Message>

<Requirements />
