| 15 | +This article shows you how to create a project. A project is used to store discovery, business case, assessment, and migration metadata collected from the environment you're assessing or migrating. Within a project, you can track discovered assets, create business cases, conduct assessments, and orchestrate migrations to Azure. |

| 20 | +Classic Azure Migrate is retiring in Feb 2024. After Feb 2024, the classic version of Azure Migrate will no longer be supported and the inventory metadata in the classic project will be deleted. If you're using classic projects, delete those projects and follow the steps to create a new project. You can't upgrade classic projects or components to Azure Migrate. View [FAQ](./resources-faq.md#i-have-a-project-with-the-previous-classic-experience-of-azure-migrate-how-do-i-start-using-the-new-version) before you start the creation process. |

| 27 | +Ensure you have the correct permissions to create a project using the following steps: |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +1. In the Azure portal, open the relevant subscription, and select **Access control (IAM)**. |
| 30 | +2. In **Check access**, find the relevant account, and select it and view permissions. You should have *Contributor* or *Owner* permissions. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +## Create a project for the first time |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +::: moniker range="migrate" |
| 35 | + |

| 37 | + |
| 38 | +1. In the Azure portal, search for *Azure Migrate*. |
| 39 | +1. In **Services**, select **Azure Migrate**. |
| 40 | +1. In **Get started**, select **Discover, assess and migrate**. |

| 47 | +1. In **Project Details**, specify the project name and the geography in which you want to create the project. |
| 48 | + - The region is only used to store the metadata gathered from on-premises servers. You can assess or migrate servers for any target region regardless of the selected region. |
| 49 | + - Review supported regions for [public](supported-geographies.md#public-cloud) and [government clouds](supported-geographies.md#azure-government). |

| 90 | +## Create a project in a specific region |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +In the portal, you can select the geography in which you want to create the project. If you want to create the project within a specific Azure region, use the following API command to create the project. |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +```rest |
| 95 | +PUT /subscriptions/<subid>/resourceGroups/<rg>/providers/Microsoft.Migrate/MigrateProjects/<mymigrateprojectname>?api-version=2018-09-01-preview "{location: 'centralus', properties: {}}" |
| 96 | +``` |

| 99 | + |
| 100 | +After you have created the project, perform the following steps to try out the new agentless dependency analysis enhancements: |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +Ensure that you have installed Az CLI to execute the required commands by following the steps provided in the documentation [here](/cli/azure/install-azure-cli). |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +After you install the Az CLI (in PowerShell), open PowerShell on your system as an Administrator and execute the following commands: |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +1. Log in to the Azure tenant and set the Subscription. |
| 107 | + - az login --tenant <TENANT_ID> |
| 108 | + - az account set --subscription <SUBSCRIPTION_ID> |
| 109 | +1. Register the Dependency Map private preview feature on the Subscription. |
| 110 | + - az feature registration create --name PrivatePreview --namespace Microsoft.DependencyMap |
| 111 | +1. Ensure that the feature is in registered state. |
| 112 | +- az feature registration show --name PrivatePreview --provider-namespace Microsoft.DependencyMap |
| 113 | + - Output contains - "state": "Registered" |
| 114 | +1. Register the new Dependency Map resource provider. |
| 115 | + - az provider register --namespace Microsoft.DependencyMap |
| 116 | +1. Ensure that the provider is in registered state. |
| 117 | + - az provider show -n Microsoft.DependencyMap |
| 118 | + - Output contains - "registrationState": "Registered" |
