# Enforce or Remove CLA Mechanism

Before you enable Git repositories for CLA check or remove them from CLA mechanism, you must add the [GitHub](/lfx/easycla/v2-current/project-managers/add-and-manage-github-organizations.md#add-github-organization) or [Gerrit](/lfx/easycla/v2-current/project-managers/add-and-manage-gerrit-organizations.md#add-gerrit-organization) or [GitLab](/lfx/easycla/v2-current/project-managers/add-and-manage-gitlab-groups.md#add-gitlab-groups) organizations. You can perform the following activities with EasyCLA:

1\. Sign in to the [Project Control Center](https://projectadmin.lfx.linuxfoundation.org).

2\. Click a **project** of interest.

3\. From **Tools Status** drop-down menu, click **EasyCLA**.

## Enforce CLA Mechanism for Gerrit Repositories <a href="#enforce-cla-mechanism-for-gerrit-repositories" id="enforce-cla-mechanism-for-gerrit-repositories"></a>

After you add a [Gerrit organization](/lfx/easycla/v2-current/project-managers/add-and-manage-gerrit-organizations.md#add-gerrit-organization), by default all of its repositories are CLA enabled. You cannot disable CLA for an individual Gerrit repository. However, you can [disassociate the Gerrit organization](/lfx/easycla/v2-current/project-managers/add-and-manage-gerrit-organizations.md#disassociate-gerrit-organization) to disable CLA for the organization and all of its repositories.
