Following [directions on creating a new namespace](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/galaxy-ng/en/latest/usage_guide/collections/) on [galaxy.ansible.com](http://galaxy.ansible.com), it says

> New namespaces can be created from here. To create a namespace, click the “create” button and pick a new namespace name.

I don’t see a “create” button there. Is this an admin-only thing, or has the Galaxy-NG code base development simply out-paced the docs?

What is the current procedure, then, to create a namespace and to set up people in my group as admins for content under that namespace? I already have one that matches my github id; I’m looking for something that would work for my team that’s also independent of me personally.

Just because this topic shows up in Google search, FYI **custom** namespaces -that aren’t equal user’s GitHub profile name which get created automatically on the first login- can be requested on this forum. See the [Ansible Galaxy: how to request a custom namespace](https://forum.ansible.com/t/ansible-galaxy-how-to-request-a-custom-namespace/45689) howto.
