Therefore, the project structure is one of the most important structures in Apinizer. API Proxies categorized under a purpose framework and their related connections and configurations make management related to the API lifecycle easier. Apinizer provides a **Default** project on first installation. This Default project cannot be edited or deleted. After project definition is made, members are generally defined according to their roles. Click [here](/en/admin/project-management/project-members) for detailed information about member definition. ## Project Creation All projects in Apinizer can be viewed from the **Management → Projects** screen or a new project can be created. A project can be created in two ways: * A new project definition can be made with the **New (Create)** button. * A project can be created by loading an existing project configuration file by clicking the **Import Project** link. **The visual containing the project list is provided below:** Project List If a user with **Project Owner** role is deleted from that project; **Admin** user becomes Project Owner for that project. **The visual containing project settings is provided below:** Project Settings The fields used for project configuration are shown in the table below. | Field | Description | | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | File Upload *(Project)* | This field appears on the screen when an exported version of an existing project will be imported as a new project via the "File Upload" link and is used to upload the .zip file to be imported. | | Name | Project name information for the created project. | | Enable Relative Path *(Enable Relative Path)* | Activated if a common prefix is desired to be used in all gateway addresses within the project. | | Relative Path *(Relative Path)* | The prefix expression that all Gateway addresses defined in the project will start with is entered in this field. An automatic UUID is given by the system.

For example; when the project gateway address is "account", the API proxy gateway address appears as: **/account/proxy1** | | Description | A description can be written to facilitate management related to the created project. |
