As a user, you can request a new project once the administrator configures the required [permissions](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PCFJ/pages/717653880) for you.

Perform the following to request a new project:

1. Navigate to ***Apps > Request new project*** from the top horizontal menu. You are navigated to the screen that lists project templates preconfigured by the administrator.  
> Macro (inline-media-image)
  
2. Click **Request **next to the intended template in the *Request New Template *page to proceed further. The form for requesting new projects expands within the same page.
3. Enter the details in the project request form as follows:
  - *Project Name*: Specify a relevant name for your project.
  - *Project Key*: <span style="color: #172b4d">Specify a project key. This key is added as a prefix to each issue in your project.</span>
  - *Project Description*: Provide a brief description about your project.
  - *Copy settings from this project*: Select a project from the available list to copy the respective project settings into the newly created project.
    
  - *Project Categories*: Select a category for the project from the available list of options.
    
  - *Questions*: Provide an answer to each question configured by the administrator.
4. Click **Submit **to submit your request for approval (or **Cancel **to drop the request). A confirmation message is displayed.

Once your request is submitted, the project is created and is ready for use only after an administrator or a project approver approves your project request.
