# Adding Projects to CodeScan

This document provides a description about how to create a project in CodeScan.

### Salesforce Permissions

The minimum permissions required in the Salesforce profile to add a Salesforce project in CodeScan are listed below:

1. API Enabled (mandatory)
2. Modify Metadata Through Metadata API Functions (mandatory)
3. View All Data
4. Author Apex (Needed when IncludeContentsOfPackages is enabled)

You can find all these permissions under Profile > Administrative Permissions in Salesforce.

### Prerequisites <a href="#prerequisities" id="prerequisities"></a>

You will need a CodeScan organization to add a project to it. When signing up with [CodeScan Cloud](https://www.codescan.io/products/cloud/), an organization is created automatically under your username. New organizations can be created at any time using the '**+**' icon at the top-right corner of the screen.
