Troubleshooting

Permission errors while importing a project

• Verify your team's permission to open CodeSandbox Repositories.

• Verify your repository permissions on GitHub. You need to have write permission on GitHub to be able to import the project. Repositories where you only have read access can only be forked.

• Verify your GitHub permissions. CodeSandbox requires full git access to be able to import and commit. If you face any authentication errors, follow the steps to reset your GitHub permissions listed below.

Resetting GitHub permissions

1. Go to the Dashboard.

2. Click on the Menu icon at the top right of the screen.

3. Click on Preferences.

4. Go to Integrations.

5. Sign out from GitHub and sign in again to reconnect your GitHub account.
