## Authorizing your Account as a Member

You can log in as a member of the project to view issues. You set up your organization details in your dashboard using My Profile. Based on the organization that you have set up in My Profile, the screens vary when you try to access the issues as a member login.

In order to view issues, your organization should be a member of the Linux Foundation. If your organization does not have a membership associated with the Linux Foundation, you will see a message that informs you that your organization does not have a project membership.
