For your Cloud Platform application, you can either create and configure a new Code Studio project or reconfigure an existing Code Studio project.

To configure a project, you must have the **Owner** or **Maintainer** role in Code Studio. For information about roles and permissions, visit [User roles and permissions](/acquia-cloud-platform/add-ons/code-studio/getting-started/managing-users#section-user-roles-and-permissions "https://docs.acquia.com/acquia-cloud-platform/add-ons/code-studio/getting-started/managing-user-seats#section-user-roles-and-permissions").

You can connect your Cloud Platform application to your Code Studio project through one of the following:

*   A [Cloud IDE](/acquia-cloud-platform/add-ons/ide)
*   A [local environment](/resources/local-development "Local Development")

To configure a project:

1.  [Connect your Cloud Platform application with Code Studio](/acquia-cloud-platform/add-ons/code-studio/connecting-your-cloud-platform-application-code-studio "Connecting your Cloud Platform application with Code Studio").
2.  [Push your application code into your Code Studio project](/acquia-cloud-platform/add-ons/code-studio/pushing-your-application-code-your-code-studio-project "Pushing your application code into your Code Studio project").
