Create new Project in self-hosted GitLab instance

Question

I have a problem that I can't create a new project in self-hosted GitLab instance. Every time I try to create an error appear "namespace is not valid". I spent yesterday trying solving the problem. then I contact the support in GitLab, they told me to contact the administrator, but I want to know should I get permission from admin to create a new project?

Also, I try to clone this repo as remotely to another project in command line but also I failed.

Any suggestions, please.

thanks in advance,

Check the "Allowed to create projects" setting in the group settings area.

The answer from https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support-forum/issues/3941#note_114177915

Go to your group's settings page, similar to: https://gitlab.com/groups/groupname/-/edit

Expand the "Permissions, LFS, 2FA" section and below the LFS section will be the "Allowed to create projects" setting where you can choose which is the minimum role required to create a project.
