Help

Problem

I no longer have access to the Vercel account that owns this project. I only have access to the GitHub repo and need to regain access or transfer the project to a new account.

Project URL
https://vitos-prtflio-8aeyi3jg1-vitoleonardos-projects.vercel.app

GitHub repo
https://github.com/vitoleonardo/portfolio

Current vs Expected Behavior

  • Current: Deployments fail with the following error:

Error: Git author must have access to the project on Vercel

  • Expected: I can access/transfer the Vercel project to my new account.

Steps / Notes

  1. I control the GitHub repository (can provide commit hashes/screenshots).
  2. No custom domain is attached.
  3. The team slug in the URL seems to be vitoleonardos-projects.

Request

Please help recover the account or transfer the project to a new Vercel account.

Hi @viktorkrawutschke-47, welcome to the Vercel Community!

If you’ve the repository you can just spin up a new project in your Vercel account (even in a new one).

If you want to take any action on the existing project, you must follow the Account Recovery and Appeals process to regain access.
