# View tags for a project


Tags can help you identify and organize your AWS resources and manage access to them. For more information about using tags, see the [Tagging best practices](https://d1.awsstatic.com/whitepapers/aws-tagging-best-practices.pdf) whitepaper. For examples of tag-based access policies, see [Using tags to control access to AWS CodeBuild resources](auth-and-access-control-using-tags.md).

## View tags for a project (console)


You can use the CodeBuild console to view the tags associated with a CodeBuild project. 

1. Open the CodeBuild console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/).

1. In **Build projects**, choose the name of the project where you want to view tags.

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Settings**. Choose **Build project tags**. 

## View tags for a project (AWS CLI)


To view tags for a build project, run the following command. Use the name of your project for the `--names` parameter.

```
aws codebuild batch-get-projects --names your-project-name
```

If successful, this command returns JSON-formatted information about your build project that includes something like the following:

```
{
    "tags": {
        "Status": "Secret",
        "Team": "JanesProject"
    }
}
```

If the project does not have tags, the `tags` section is empty:

```
"tags": []
```
