Can't deploy my client's project

Hey, I am unable to deploy my clients project on my Vercel account.

The thing is, the project had large media files and don’t want to store them on my GitHub account. So I tried 2 things for that:

  1. I made an organization, and transferred the repo to it. (thinking that I will just give the ownership of the org to my client afterwards). But when I proceed to deploy it on vercel, it said :“The repository is owned by an organization. Please link it to a Vercel team instead.”
    Because ‘vercel hobby’ account can deploy only personal GitHub repo not organization repos, for that we need vercel teams (correct me if I am wrong), and I don’t want any paid stuff for now.

  2. I transferred the repo ownership to him, thinking I will just connect his repo directly to my vercel account for deployment.
    I am a collaborator in his repo, but in the authorized list on vercel, I cant find his repo (I can see only my repo and my organization repos).

Just curious, when you make a website for your clients, do you keep everything on your personal account?

Hi, @4vinn! Welcome to the Vercel Community :smile:

Thanks for your patience!

I believe that this is related to our recent change. See thread for details:

It is common practice to use a separate Vercel team or organization account for client projects which helps in managing permissions and ownership more effectively, especially when handing over the project to the client.

Let us know if you have any further questions!

Hi, @pawlean . I’m Vercel team owner and I have a organization on Github (owner too), now a have to upgrade to a Pro plan on Vercel for each developer that I have to keep deploying?

If it’s correct no sense keep using Vercel. I have 8 developers, only 2 aprove PR. 8 x $20 is too expensive.
