# Add and Manage Gerrit Organizations

Before you can add or manage Gerrit organizations and repositories, you must connect or add Gerrit organizations while setting up IT services. However, you can also add Gerrit organization in the Gerrit pane of **Tools** tab.

* ​[Add Gerrit Organization​](#add-gerrit-organization)
* ​[Disassociate Gerrit Organization​](#disassociate-gerrit-organization)

After you successfully add Git organizations, you can:

* ​[View Connection Status of Git Organization and Repositories​](https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/lfx/easycla/v2-current/project-managers/view-connection-status-of-git-organizations-and-repositories)
* ​[Enforce or Remove CLA Mechanism for Gerrit Repositories​](https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/lfx/easycla/v2-current/enforce-or-remove-cla-mechanism#enforce-cla-mechanism-for-gerrit-repositories)
