Create IGSN

To create a new IGSN, you will need access to a repository where IGSN registrations can be requested. If you do not already have access, you can request it by opening the repository overview and clicking the Get Access button. More information on how to get access can be found in the getting started section.

Once you have access, you can create a new IGSN by following these steps:

  1. Click on the Manage IGSNs button of your repository.
