# I have created my own project, but it is not appearing in the list when creating a booking. Why is that?
Although all users can create their own projects, the Lab admin can determine whether the lab members are allowed to use their own projects for a booking.
If you have created your own project, under *My Project* - see image for reference - and you are not able to select it when creating a booking, it is most likely due to the admin not allowing users to use their own projects in the lab

Contact the lab admin and request they create a project for you, add you to an existing one, or enable their lab members to use their own projects. They can do this by going to the *Project* section in the lab, and switching the toggle to *Yes* - see below image for reference.
