In general, we leave it to the managers of top-level groups to determine policy of how subgroups are created. The managers list of the top-level group may be public. (See, for example, the [membership of the UIS group](https://gitlab.developers.cam.ac.uk/groups/uis/-/group_members).) You may want to try contacting one of the top-level group owners in the first instance.

> UIS is "special" in this regard in that the people who own the top-level UIS group overlap with the admins of the site. Rather than having a UIS-specific support project, UIS members can also request groups under the UIS namespace by raising an issue in this project. As the service matures we hope to make UIS less "special".

## How can I get a "Robot" account?
A "robot" account is an account which is not directly associated with an individual. These accounts are often used to integrate Continuous Integration or Continuous Deployment solutions with your source control.
