# Make Redmine Projects Public on Planio

Planio is powered by Redmine and as such it offers the same great possibilities to **make Redmine projects public** on the Internet. You can choose whether your projects should be accessible to anyone – without the need to login, including search engines – or whether you'd like visitors to sign up first and leave their email address. You can also choose to manually confirm signups or confirm them automatically by sending an activation link in an email.

## What is a Public Project?

A public project on on your Planio powered Redmine account is essentially that: **An open project that is available to the public**.

Normally, only the explicitly named members of a project in Planio can access it and outsiders cannot see what's going on. Let's change that! Here's how:

1.  Find your project or create a new one
2.  Navigating to **Settings** -\> **Information** in your project
3.  Check the box next to the **Public** label and click **Save**

Congratulations! You now have a public project.
