# What is a project?

### Description:

A project holds a label configuration and is connected to one or multiple datasets that need to be labeled with the given label configuration.

In order to label images, a label configuration has to be defined and the images must be assigned to the project. This assignment is done within the project. There's a 1:1 relation between a project and its label configuration. However, many images can be assigned to the project through the connected [datasets](https://docs.datagym.ai/documentation/dataset/what-is-a-dataset). 

The combination of the label configuration and one image is managed as a task. These [tasks ](https://docs.datagym.ai/documentation/tasks/what-is-a-task)are managed within the project and can be managed by the administrator.
