Vercel deployment error

Hey! So I am working on a repo which is under another github account with an additional collaborator to the repo (a NextJS application). Up until now we’ve been committing changes to the repo and Vercel has been auto-deploying normally.

Since 28th August, the pushes we’ve been making to the repo has showed a red cross with the following message: Git author must have access to the project on Vercel.

I googled around to find that most answers talk about being on the Pro plan, however the github account is using the Hobby plan. This wasn’t an issue before and there’s no proper solution showing up on googling.

Maybe I missed something on my end but any help regarding this issue would be appreciated :))

Hi, and welcome @shobhit-nagpal!

Your builds are most likely blocked because you are not the owner of the team. On Hobby, Vercel’s free plan, the commit author must be the owner of the Hobby account.

If you’re looking to collaborate on a project or team that you don’t own, you have a few options!

  • Make your repository public. Collaboration is free for open source and public repositories.
  • Upgrade to Pro. A Pro subscription is required to access Vercel’s collaborative features.
  • If you’re an owner of the team, upgrade and add your collaborators as members.
    • If you’re a user who would like to request access, head to the /teams/invite link in the message.
    • If you’re already a member of the team, make sure that your Vercel account is connected to your Git account.

Let us know if you have any more questions! :pray:

Hi @pawlean, thanks for the welcome :))

Thank you for answering my question. I wanted to ask if the collaboration over a public repository point is a recent update that has occurred?

Hey, @shobhit-nagpal! Yes. Collaboration has never been allowed on Hobby. Our team recently shipped a fix that ensures our collaboration limits are enforced in GitHub. :smiling_face:
