To connect SCM systems, admin permissions are required on the repository you want to integrate.

Create or Join a Project
If you’re creating a project for the first time
- Create an account
- Name and create a workspace
If you want other teammembers with the same email domain to be able to automatically join, check the “Allow anyone with @domain emails to join this project.” box.
If you’re joining an existing project
- Create an account
- If sharing has been setup correctly for the desired project, the name of the project will appear.
If you do not see the “Join an existing project” option, but rather just the “Create a new project” option, then contact your project admin and ask them to either invite you directly or enable domain sharing.
If you want to create/join an additional project
At the top-left of the PlayerZero portal, select the option to create/join a new project. If you don’t see the project you’re looking for listed, contact your project admin and ask them to either invite you directly or enable domain sharing.Connect & Enable Repositories
