Requesting Deploy Access

Deploying workflows to a Chainlink DON requires Early Access approval. You can request access in two ways:

• From the CLI — Run cre account access to check your status or submit a request directly from your terminal
• From the web — Visit cre.chain.link/request-access to fill out the request form

Check your access status

Run the following command to see your current deployment access status:

cre account access

Your access status is also shown when you run cre whoami:

cre whoami

Account details retrieved:

Email:           email@domain.com
Organization ID: org_mEMRknbVURM9DWsB
Deploy Access:   Not enabled (run 'cre account access' to request)

Request deploy access

If your organization does not have deploy access, cre account access will prompt you to submit a request:

! Deployment access is not yet enabled for your organization.

  Request deployment access? Yes

After confirming, you'll be asked to briefly describe what you're building:

  Briefly describe your use case
  What are you building with CRE?

Once submitted, you'll see:

✓ Access request submitted successfully!

Our team will review your request and get back to you via email shortly.

You'll receive a confirmation email, and the Chainlink team will follow up once your request has been reviewed.

What happens after approval

Once your organization is granted deploy access, cre whoami will show:

Deploy Access:   Enabled

You can then use cre workflow deploy to deploy workflows to the Workflow Registry. See Deploying Workflows for next steps.

Prompted automatically

You don't need to run cre account access proactively. The CLI will prompt you to request access automatically in two situations:

• When you run cre workflow deploy without access
• After a successful cre workflow simulate, as a reminder that deployment is available once access is granted
