> 

Effective CREATE capability for metrics in a workspace.

**Signature:**

```typescript
export declare function canCreateMetric(workspacePermissions: IWorkspacePermissions, areMetricPermissionsEnabled: boolean): boolean;
```

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| workspacePermissions | [IWorkspacePermissions](https://www.gooddata.ai/docs/gooddata-ui/latest/api-reference/sdk-model/sdk-model.iworkspacepermissions/index.md) | the user's workspace permissions |

## Remarks

Behind enableMetricPermissions the granular CREATE\_METRIC permission decides, otherwise the original canManageProject check applies. Drop the branch when the flag is removed.
