Key Project Elements

The following key elements of a project are important to keep in mind when creating, configuring, and organizing projects:

• Materials to scan or analyze—Each project has an uploaded codebase or a configured remote scan location (such as on a build server, artifact repository, or version control system).

• Scan profile—Each project has an associated scan profile with a set of scan settings that are applied when the project is scanned. (The profile can be one of the default scan profiles or a custom scan profile).

• Policy profile—Each project has an associated policy profile with a set of intellectual property or security policies that are applied when project inventory is published to the project (such as during the first scan or when manually published by a project user).

• Project visibility—Each project has an associated visibility configuration that specifies which logged-in users have the ability to view or change the project.
