# Assign Resources to Default Project

`POST /v2/projects/default/resources`

To assign resources to your default project, send a POST request to `/v2/projects/default/resources`.

You must have both project:update and <resource>:read scopes to assign new resources. For example, to assign a Droplet to the default project, include both the `project:update` and `droplet:read` scopes.

## Response `200`

The response will be a JSON object with a key called `resources`.
The value of this will be an object with the standard resource attributes.
