Additional browser permissions

When adding an organization, you may be prompted to grant additional permissions to the GitProtect application — make sure your browser allows GitProtect to open pop-up windows.

Depending on your browser, you can either adjust the settings to allow pop-ups or permit the authorization window to open once.
