this is a fresh installation of both Pycharm and Anaconda. I created the first project, but when I tried to create an environment, I received this error: 

CustomValidationError: Parameter safety_checks = '' declared in <<merged>> is invalid.
'' is not a valid SafetyChecks
Valid choices for safety_checks: 'disabled', 'warn', 'enabled'

Wondering if this is a permissions issue. Please see the attached screenshot

I faced the exactly similar problem.

I solved it by running PyCharm as Administrator mode. Apparently there was indeed a permissions issue.

To do that, right click PyCharm > Run as Administrator.

And then to re-create a new conda environment:

  1. Open PyCharm.
  2. Go to File > Settings > Project:[Project_Name] > Project Interpreter
  3. Click on the small settings button on the right.
  4. Select Add.
  5. Specify the name of the environment and then click OK.
