"Why don't I have access to this project?"
If you open a link from Abstract and are told you do not have permission to view that project, one of two things may be happening:
- You aren't a member of the organization
- The project is private
In either case, re-open the link and follow the prompts in order to request access to the project.
It's only possible to request access to a specific project, not an organization.
