Organization admins can enforce a storage region (US, UK, or EU) so that every new project in the organization stores raw files in that region. When enforcement is active, members cannot choose a different region when creating a project.
This only affects new projects. Existing projects keep the region they were created with. Storage regions cannot be changed after project creation.
