  description: |-
    Lists projects which can become parent to another project. Only sound candidates are returned.
    For instance a project cannot become parent of itself or it's children.

    To specify the project for which a parent is queried for, the `of` parameter can be provided. If no `of`
    parameter is provided, a new project is assumed. Then, the check for the hierarchy is omitted as a new project cannot be
    part of a hierarchy yet.

    Candidates can be filtered. Most commonly one will want to filter by name or identifier.
    You can do this through the `filters` parameter which works just like the work package index.

    For instance to find all parent candidates with "rollout" in their name:

    ```
    ?filters=[{"name_and_identifier":{"operator":"~","values":["rollout"]}}]
    ```
