As the title suggests, I have logged into Ansible Galaxy using my Github account and am wanting to create roles but no namespace has been created under my name and I can’t see any namespaces in the Collection My Namespaces section or role namespace section.

Does this just take a long while to create from first login or is something broken on my end?

Username is 0xRedpoll

Thanks!

I see this could be due to have a digit as the first letter in my name but I am not going to rename my Github just to be able to get a namespace on here. Can this be manually made by the Galaxy team?

Namespaces cannot start with underscores or numbers. Would you be okay with a namespace just called redpoll?

Great! I have created the redpoll namespace and role namespace in galaxy and granted 0xRedpoll owner permissions for the namespace.

Sorry, stupid follow up on this. Can I reference my GitHub when importing a role through the website or is it better to do through the cli? Getting errors for the mismatch currently.

After talking with one of the senior galaxy devs about this, I went in and created a roles namespace for 0xRedpoll and associated it with the redpoll namespace, so I think it should work properly now!
