# Change the default Project for new users

By default, every new user is the owner of a quick-start project. When the user signs up, Domino creates this project. It has example files that show how to take advantage of Domino features and a detailed `README`. You can replace the default quick-start with customized projects.

<a id="custom" />

Create a custom default project for new users

1. Create the quick-start projects that you want all new users to have access to upon signup. These projects must have names, descriptions, and `READMEs` that describe what’s in the project. Any user can own these projects, however, the project must be **Private**.

2. Record the username and project name paths for these projects. For example:

   `admin-user/getting-started-project`

   `admin-user/sample-app-project`

   Domino reproduces the name of the project for new users. If you set the previous example projects as default projects, all new users will own copies at:

   `new-username/getting-started-project`

   `new-username/sample-app-project`

3. After your projects are ready for use by new users, set the `com.cerebro.domino.frontend.overrideDefaultProject` [configuration records](/6.3/admin/configuration/central-configuration#projects).

   For the examples shown previously, the value of this setting would be:

   `admin-user/getting-started-project, admin-user/sample-app-project`
