## 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.
