# Creating and configuring your Azure DevOps project

Once the [setting-up-integration-at-global-level](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-community-build/devops-platform-integration/azure-devops-integration/setting-up-integration-at-global-level "mention") with Azure DevOps is complete, you can create your SonarQube Community Build project by importing your Azure DevOps repository. You can also create it manually but you won’t benefit from the integration features.

{% hint style="warning" %}
It’s highly recommended to create your SonarQube Community Build project before running your first analysis. Creating the project from the first analysis has side-effects (e.g., you can’t choose the main branch name).
{% endhint %}

## Importing your Azure DevOps repository <a href="#importing-azdo-repo" id="importing-azdo-repo"></a>

To import your repository, you need the Create Projects permission in SonarQube Community Build.

The so-created SonarQube Community Build project is "bound" to its Azure DevOps repository. With a bound project, you can see in the SonarQube Community Build UI with which repository the project is associated.

To import an Azure DevOps repository into SonarQube Community Build:

1. In the top navigation bar of SonarQube Community Build, select the **Projects** tab.
2. In the top right corner, select the **Create Project** > **From Azure DevOps** button.
3. If your instance has multiple Azure DevOps Integrations, select the **Azure** **DevOps configuration** from which you want to import your project.
4. Select the repository to be imported.

{% hint style="info" %}
SonarQube Community Build doesn’t support the import of Azure DevOps monorepos. See [feature-comparison-table](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-community-build/feature-comparison-table "mention") to find out which SonarQube deployments support this feature.
{% endhint %}

## Creating your SonarQube Community Build project manually <a href="#creating-project-manually" id="creating-project-manually"></a>

You need the Create Project permission in SonarQube Community Build.

Proceed as follows:

1. In the top navigation bar of SonarQube Community Build, select the **Projects** tab.
2. In the top right corner, select the **Create Project** > **Local Project** button.

## Configuring the project analysis parameters <a href="#configuring-analysis-parameters" id="configuring-analysis-parameters"></a>

You can configure analysis parameters at different levels:

* In your build environment.
* In the `sonar-project.properties` file.
* In SonarQube Community Build UI.
* At the Azure pipeline level.\
  Parameters set at the pipeline level have precedence over parameters set at other levels.

For general information on setting up analysis parameters at the global and project levels, see [analysis-parameters](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-community-build/analyzing-source-code/analysis-parameters "mention") and the respective SonarScanner section: [sonarscanner-for-maven](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-community-build/analyzing-source-code/scanners/sonarscanner-for-maven "mention"), [sonarscanner-for-gradle](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-community-build/analyzing-source-code/scanners/sonarscanner-for-gradle "mention"), [configuring](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-community-build/analyzing-source-code/scanners/dotnet/configuring "mention"), or [sonarscanner](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-community-build/analyzing-source-code/scanners/sonarscanner "mention").
