# Getting started with Yandex Resource Manager

When a user registers with Yandex Cloud, a _cloud_ is created for the user. The cloud is a separate workspace with this user as the owner. In this cloud, the `default` folder and `default` network will be created.

The owner can create new folders and resources in this cloud, and manage access rights to them.

1. To create a folder in the cloud:

    1. In the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud), in the top panel, click ![image](../_assets/console-icons/layout-side-content-left.svg) or ![image](../_assets/console-icons/chevron-down.svg) and select the [cloud](concepts/resources-hierarchy.md#cloud).
    1. To the right of the cloud name, click ![image](../_assets/console-icons/ellipsis.svg).
    1. Select ![image](../_assets/console-icons/plus.svg) **Create folder**.
    
       ![create-folder1](../_assets/resource-manager/create-folder-1.png)
    
    1. Give your [folder](concepts/resources-hierarchy.md#folder) a name. The naming requirements are as follows:
    
        * Length: between 3 and 63 characters.
        * It can only contain lowercase Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens.
        * It must start with a letter and cannot end with a hyphen.
    
    1. Optionally, specify the description for your folder.
    1. Select **Create a default network**. This will create a [network](../vpc/concepts/network.md#network) with subnets in each availability zone. Within this network, you will also have a [default security group](../vpc/concepts/security-groups.md#default-security-group), within which all network traffic will be allowed.
    1. Click **Create**.
    
       ![create-folder2](../_assets/resource-manager/create-folder-2.png)

1. Grant a user access to the created folder:

    1. In the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud), click ![image](../_assets/console-icons/layout-side-content-left.svg) or ![image](../_assets/console-icons/chevron-down.svg) in the top panel and select the folder.
    1. Navigate to the **Access bindings** tab.
    1. Click **Configure access**.
    1. In the window that opens, select **User accounts**.
    1. Select a user from the list or use the user search option.
    1. Click ![image](../_assets/console-icons/plus.svg) **Add role**.
    1. Select the `resource-manager.editor` role. This role enables you to read folder information, including the list of access permissions, as well as edit and delete the folder.
    1. Click **Save**.
