# Projects FAQ

## Who can create a project?

The Owner, an Admin, or a Project Manager. See [Create a project](/tir/projects/how-to/create-a-project/).

## Can a Project Lead delete a project?

No. A Project Lead can change the name and description. The Owner, an Admin, or a Project Manager can delete
a project. See [Update or delete a project](/tir/projects/how-to/update-or-delete-a-project/).

## What happens to my resources when I delete a project?

Deleting a project permanently removes all its resources in all regions. See
[Update or delete a project](/tir/projects/how-to/update-or-delete-a-project/#delete-a-project).

## Can a Member change a project's settings?

No. A Member works with the project's services that their policy allows. A Project Lead changes the name and
description, and the Owner, an Admin, or a Project Manager also creates and deletes projects. See
[Roles and permissions](/tir/tir-iam/concepts/roles-and-permissions/).

## How long can a project name and description be?

A name can have up to 50 characters, and a description up to 300. You add a description when you create a
project from the **Projects** list. See [Create a project](/tir/projects/how-to/create-a-project/).

## Where do I see what a project has cost?

On the **Resource Usage** tab of **Project Settings**, one kind of resource at a time. To compare every
project's usage together, use **Account Usage** under **Billing & Usage** in the account menu; see
[Analyse usage](/tir/tir-billing/how-to/analyse-usage/). For one project, see
[View resource usage and activity](/tir/projects/how-to/view-resource-usage-and-activity/).

## Where do I see what was done in a project?

On the **Activity Timeline** tab of **Project Settings**, which lists each action with its status. For the
actions across the whole account, use [Audit Logs](/tir/tir-iam/how-to/view-audit-logs/).

## Why can I not see the Policies tab?

The **Policies** tab appears only for roles that can see policies. Ask a Project Manager, a Project Lead, or an Admin to make the policy change you need. See
[Roles and permissions](/tir/tir-iam/concepts/roles-and-permissions/).

## Can I move a resource to another project?

No. A resource stays in the project you create it in, so create each resource in the project where you
will use it. To switch the project you are working in, see
[Switch between projects](/tir/projects/how-to/switch-between-projects/).
