# Associating with projects

As a Quality Profile Administrator, you can explicitly associate a quality profile with projects.

As a project administrator, you can associate your project with quality profiles. See the [changing-quality-gate](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/project-administration/adjusting-analysis/changing-quality-gate "mention") page.

To explicitly associate a quality profile with projects, or change the projects associated with a quality profile:

1. Go to the **Quality Profiles** page and retrieve the qualiy profile.
2. In the **Projects** section of the quality profile, select **Change projects**. The **Projects** dialog opens.
3. Select the tab you want to use:
   * The **With** tab shows the projects associated with this quality profile. Use this tab to remove associations.
   * The **Without** tab shows the projects not associated with this quality profile. Use this tab to associate projects.
   * The **All** tab shows all projects. Use this tab to associate all projects or remove all associations.
4. Use the Search field to filter the list of projects.
5. Select or unselect a project to associate the project or remove the association, respectively. In the **All** tab, select **Bulk Change** to select or unselect all projects.
6. If you’re in the **With** or **Without** tabs, select **Reload** to refresh the dialog with your changes.
7. Select **Close**.
