I am receiving the following error during deployment:
Error: Deployment Blocked
The Deployment was blocked because the commit author does not have contributing access to the project on Vercel.
Hobby teams do not support collaboration. Please upgrade to Pro to add team members.
I’m the sole author and sole contributor of the repo. And the Vercel account is tied to the same account.

Hi @aminefourari , welcome to the Vercel Community!
I’m sorry you’re facing this issue. Could you ensure your GitHub account is linked in https://vercel.com/account/settings/authentication ? If it’s linked, could you try removing and relinking it?
After that try pushing a new commit and let me know if you still face the issue.
Yes, thank you. The issue is solved.

I’m glad this worked for some but unlinking and relinking did not work for me.

Check the project deployments for an error. In my case it showed it was using Github’s no-reply email. In my terminal I put in
git config --global user.name "YOUR NAME"
git config --global user.email "YOUR_GITHUB_EMAIL"
This fixed the problem and I was able to deploy.
