# v0 permission error: Team members unable to create new chats or branches

## Problem
My team has been working on multiple projects backed by GitHub repositories. This has worked more or less well recently, but since yesterday evening, no one besides me is able to create new chats or branches—even on projects not connected to a GitHub repo.

## Current Behavior
Team members receive the following error message:

> **Error: You do not have permissions to create new chats for this project**

## Environment & Roles
All team members have the following configuration:

*   `v0 builder` role
*   `Vercel viewer` role
*   Members of the corresponding GitHub repo (if applicable)
*   The GitHub status in `v0` shows as "connected" (green)

Has something changed in the permission handling that is causing this? We need to resolve this quickly as it is blocking our workflow.

Any updates on this? Did you have to upgrade from viewer to developer?

hi @rclmenezes ,
we didn’t change any roles. The issue actually went away like a day later, so i guess v0 was just wonky that time :man_shrugging: we worked with v0 for roughly a month and encountered multiple issues like this, i don’t know if this is considered normal here or we just had bad luck

anyways, i will close this issue now

Interestingly, it just went away for me too.

Maybe it’s because we transfered the project from a personal account to a team one? Unclear.

Thanks
