Summary
This guide walks IBMers through requesting access to the TechZone Front End Contributor role via AccessHub and explains scope, eligibility, and precise request steps.

What the Contributor Role Provides
Access to the Beta certified base image collection in TechZone.
Access to features aligned with the V2 Content Migration effort:
- My Requests page — track and manage your TechZone access and content-related requests.
- New front end request form — streamlined submission experience tailored for V2 content migration.
Scope note: This access is limited to your owned collection(s) and the V2 migration tools above. It does not grant site‑wide administration or control over global settings.

- IBMer with active W3 credentials (for AccessHub sign‑in).
- Provide clear business justification for each role requested. Include the reasoning for migrating all net‑new content to the new content framework.
