# Project settings
NOTE: **Note:**
Only project Maintainers and Admin users have the [permissions] to access a project
settings.
You can adjust your [project](../index.md) settings by navigating
to your project's homepage and clicking **Settings**.
## General settings
Under a project's general settings you can find everything concerning the
functionality of a project.
### General project settings
Adjust your project's name, description, avatar, [default branch](../repository/branches/index.md#default-branch), and topics:
![general project settings](img/general_settings.png)
The project description also partially supports [standard markdown](../../markdown.md#standard-markdown). You can use [emphasis](../../markdown.md#emphasis), [links](../../markdown.md#links), and [line-breaks](../../markdown.md#line-breaks) to add more context to the project description.
### Sharing and permissions
Set up your project's access, [visibility](../../../public_access/public_access.md), and enable [Container Registry](../container_registry.md) for your projects:
![projects sharing permissions](img/sharing_and_permissions_settings.png)
### Issue settings
Add an [issue description template](../description_templates.md#description-templates) to your project, so that every new issue will start with a custom template.
### Merge request settings
Set up your project's merge request settings:
- Set up the merge request method (merge commit, [fast-forward merge](../merge_requests/fast_forward_merge.html)).
- Merge request [description templates](../description_templates.md#description-templates).
- Enable [merge request approvals](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/merge_request_approvals.html#merge-request-approvals). **[STARTER]**
- Enable [merge only of pipeline succeeds](../merge_requests/merge_when_pipeline_succeeds.md).
- Enable [merge only when all discussions are resolved](../../discussions/index.md#only-allow-merge-requests-to-be-merged-if-all-discussions-are-resolved).

### Service Desk
Enable [Service Desk](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/service_desk.html) for your project to offer customer support. Service Desk is available in [GitLab Premium](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/).
### Export project
Learn how to [export a project](import_export.md#importing-the-project) in GitLab.
### Advanced settings
Here you can run housekeeping, archive, rename, transfer, or remove a project.
#### Archiving a project
NOTE: **Note:**
Only project Owners and Admin users have the [permissions] to archive a project.
Archiving a project makes it read-only for all users and indicates that it is
no longer actively maintained. Projects that have been archived can also be
unarchived.
When a project is archived, the repository, issues, merge requests and all
other features are read-only. Archived projects are also hidden
in project listings.
To archive a project:
1. Navigate to your project's **Settings > General > Advanced settings**.
1. In the Archive project section, click the **Archive project** button.
1. Confirm the action when asked to.
#### Renaming a repository
NOTE: **Note:**
Only project Maintainers and Admin users have the [permissions] to rename a
repository. Not to be confused with a project's name where it can also be
changed from the [general project settings](#general-project-settings).
A project's repository name defines its URL (the one you use to access the
project via a browser) and its place on the file disk where GitLab is installed.
To rename a repository:
1. Navigate to your project's **Settings > General > Advanced settings**.
1. Under "Rename repository", change the "Path" to your liking.
1. Hit **Rename project**.
Remember that this can have unintended side effects since everyone with the
old URL will not be able to push or pull. Read more about what happens with the
[redirects when renaming repositories](../index.md#redirects-when-changing-repository-paths).
#### Transferring an existing project into another namespace
NOTE: **Note:**
Only project Owners and Admin users have the [permissions] to transfer a project.
You can transfer an existing project into a [group](../../group/index.md) if:
1. you have at least **Maintainer** [permissions] to that group
1. you are an **Owner** of the project.
Similarly, if you are an owner of a group, you can transfer any of its projects
under your own user.
To transfer a project:
1. Navigate to your project's **Settings > General > Advanced settings**.
1. Under "Transfer project", choose the namespace you want to transfer the
project to.
1. Confirm the transfer by typing the project's path as instructed.
Once done, you will be taken to the new project's namespace. At this point,
read what happens with the
[redirects from the old project to the new one](../index.md#redirects-when-changing-repository-paths).
NOTE: **Note:**
GitLab administrators can use the admin interface to move any project to any
namespace if needed.
