Project Dashboard

The project dashboard is where you can perform administrative actions, view project metrics, set project variables, and view deployments.

Project Settings

You can manage project specific settings under the Settings page.

General Actions

Under the Settings > General tab you can change the project's name and description as well as retrieve the projectId.

Project Member Management

Under the Members tab, you can invite members to access the project.

There are three scopes for project members

Owner: full administration of the project
Editor: adminstration and can make deployments to the project, sans the ability to remove the Owner from the project
Viewer: Read only access to the project. Viewers can not make deploys.

Only project owners are charged for project usage.

Project Invite Links

Each project generates a project invite link. To invite someone via a link:

Select the desired invited member scope
Copy link and send to the invitee

Transferring Projects

Users can transfer projects to other users.

Under the members list in the members tab - click the 3 dots menu at the end of the user you'd like to transfer the project to.

The transferee receives an email with the current owner requesting to transfer the project to the user. Once that user accepts the transfer, they become the new owner of the project.

Monorepo Support

Monorepos are a common and popular way to organize code that allows teams to maintain context for complex applications. Railway has limited support for Monorepos by offering the ability to Deploy from Subdirectory.

On project creation, below the branch selection menu, if a subdirectory is specified- Railway will clone into that project and deploy the directory.
