# Changing project settings

You can change the project name and description, set consumption limits, and configure integration with other Yandex Cloud services on the project edit page:

1. Select the project in your community or on the DataSphere [home page](https://datasphere.yandex.cloud) in the **Recent projects** tab.
1. To change the project name or description, click ![pencil](../../../_assets/console-icons/pencil-to-line.svg) to the right of its current name. In the window that opens:
   * **Name**: Specify the project name.
   * Click **Add description** to add a description, if required.
   * Click **Save**.
1. To change other settings, go to the **Settings** tab.
1. Click **![pencil](../../../_assets/console-icons/pencil-to-line.svg) Edit** in the appropriate section.

   * Under **General settings**:

     * **Stop inactive VM after**: Set the inactivity period after which idle dedicated VM will be automatically stopped and deleted from the project.
     * **VM configuration for remote connection**: Select the configuration for the VM to create when [connecting](remote-connect.md) to the local IDE.

   * Under **Advanced settings**:

     * **Default folder**: Specify the default [folder](../../../resource-manager/concepts/resources-hierarchy.md#folder) for working with Yandex Cloud resources.
     * **Service account**: Specify the [service account](../../../iam/concepts/users/service-accounts.md) which DataSphere will use to create Yandex Data Processing clusters and perform other actions in Yandex Cloud services. The service account must have the required [roles](../../../iam/concepts/access-control/roles.md).
     * **Subnet**: Specify a [subnet](../../../vpc/concepts/network.md#subnet) if you need one to connect to other Yandex Cloud services. The subnet must be in the same [availability zone](../../../overview/concepts/geo-scope.md) as the community you created. Along with the subnet, make sure to specify a service account with the `vpc.user` role. To retain access to the internet and pip repositories in the project, the specified subnet must have a set up [NAT gateway](../../../vpc/concepts/gateways.md), and the service account must have the `vpc.gateways.user` role.

     {% note info %}
     
     If you specify a subnet in the project settings, the VM preparation during the first computation run may take longer.
     
     {% endnote %}

     * **Security group**: Specify a [security group](../../../vpc/concepts/security-groups.md), if used in your organization.
     * **Yandex Data Processing cluster**: Select the [Yandex Data Processing cluster](../../../data-proc/operations/cluster-create.md), if required.

   * Under **Limits**, you can set up [limits](restrictions.md) for your project.

   * Click **Save**.
