# Create a category

Categories are mainly used to divide your projects into multiple folders, in order to maintain an overview of all your projects. However, categories can also be used to easily publish specific projects to the right domains. [Click here to see how you can do this](/en/article/setting-up-your-maglr-environment-11an1d1/).

To create or edit a category, go to the **categories settings** from the **navigation bar** at the top of the **dashboard**. Click the **+ add category** button in the top right to add a new category, or select the **pencil icon** next to an existing category to edit it.

When creating or editing a category, you will see some options to define it. Select a **category name** and select **type of rights** to define who can see/edit projects in this category:

*   **Personal category**: the user creating this will be the only one who can view and edit projects in this category.
*   **Team category**: all users can view and edit projects in this category.
*   **Team category (read only)**: all users can view projects in this category, but cannot edit them.
*   **Admin category (private)**: This category will only be visible to the team admin.

Don't forget to give your category a name and select the **publication type** that this category should be used for. Categories can only contain publications of **one** specific type of publications. Lastly, click **save** to apply your changes and create/edit the category.
