 However, this is not the case with namespaces created **_outside_** of Rancher's UI. For namespaces created via `kubectl`, Rancher
 will assign a resource quota that has a **zero** amount for any resource that requested more capacity than what remains in the project.
 
+To create a project with a resource quota via `kubectl`, use the `spec.resourceQuota` and `spec.namespaceDefaultResourceQuota` fields:
+
+```
+apiVersion: management.cattle.io/v3
+kind: Project
+metadata:
+  generateName: p-
+  namespace: c-m-abcde
+spec:
+  clusterName: c-m-abcde
+  displayName: myproject
+  resourceQuota:
+    limit:
+      limitsCpu: 1000m
+  namespaceDefaultResourceQuota:
+    limit:
+      limitsCpu: 50m
+```
+
+Use `metadata.generateName` to ensure a unique project ID. Set `metadata.namespace` and `spec.clusterName` to the ID for the cluster the project belongs to.
+
 To create a namespace in an existing project via `kubectl`, use the `field.cattle.io/projectId` annotation. To override the default
 requested quota limit, use the `field.cattle.io/resourceQuota` annotation.
