I keep getting this error when trying to deploy from github. "Git author must have access to the project on Vercel." It happens from any user on my github even after I have connected them to Vercel.

Hi, and welcome to the community @outreachmagic!

It sounds like a permission issue. Can you confirm that you've got the correct permissions on Git to Vercel?

If you head over to your [Git installations](https://github.com/settings/installations/), find Vercel and click "Configure". You should have the following permissions set up:

Hi,

This issue is solved now, it was related to the email being different on GitHub then it was on Vercel. Thank you.
