# Enabling governance at project level

> Before working with governed objects (test cases), you must enable governance at project level.

Before working with governed objects (test cases), you must enable governance at project level.

To enable testing process governance, you must hold the **Test Manager Administrator** role, the **Test Governance Administrator** role, the **Project Owner** role or be assigned the **Test Process Governance** permission.

1. Go to **Settings**.
2. Select the **Governance** tab.
3. Toggle on **Enable Governance**.
4. Under **Default Governance State**, select **Governed** if you want any newly created object (test case) to be governed by default. If a newly created object is marked as governed, you can still disable the governed state for that object. For more information, on how to disable the governed state for an object, refer to the [Disabling governance at test-case level](https://docs.uipath.com/test-manager/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/disabling-governance-at-test-case-level "If you want to disable governance for an object, you can do so at any time. When you disable governance at object level, the Governance tab becomes disabled.") topic.
5. Under **Default Approvers**, assign the users which must approve and sign test cases for newly created objects.
6. Select **Save**.
