How can i park or change status of the project to Hold Using Jire Core?

Question

After creating a project along with issues using JIRA Core functionality. I came to know project is on hold. Is there a way I can change the status of the project to Hold or Park it?

If that is the case, what parameters I have to configure as administrator?

I have figured out on how to configure Category values. Below are the steps:

* Click on Admin icon and select projects.
* Click on Project Categories. You will be prompted to validate your administration access to JIRA. Enter your credentials.
* At the bottom of the screen, you will find an option to add a category. Details you have to give are Name of the Category and Description.
* Then associate a permission scheme with a project

You must be a project administrator to associate a permissions scheme with that project.

Go to JIRA Administrator > Projects and click on the relevant project.

Within your project, click  > Permissions.

Click the Actions menu and select Use a different scheme.

Select the permission scheme you want to use and click Associate.

I am unable to figure out on how to configure Category values in JIRA Core Business project. Can you pleas provide steps?

Projects don't have a status, so no.

You could change its category to show an on-hold indicator and change the permission scheme to one that prevents people using it.
