To learn how to create a project, see Manage Projects.

If you created your Atlas account using a Gmail or Google Apps account, the following can cause you to lose access to your organizations and projects:

  • The Google email address with which you signed up differs from the email address associated to your account. This is most often the case with Gmail or Google Apps aliases.

  • Your username or email domain has changed in Google Apps.

To re-gain access to your organizations and projects:

You can remove a project if:

  • You have the Project Owner role for the project.

  • The project has no outstanding invoices.

  • The project has no active database deployments.

To delete a project for an organization, you can delete from the organization's Projects view or the project's Project Setting view. For details, see Delete a Project.

To delete your Atlas account, see Delete an Atlas Account.

Note

Atlas requires up to two weeks to fully process an account deletion. Until then, you can't create a new Atlas account with the email address associated with your deleted account.
