How to get access rights to create guides and edit profile in Sanity Community?

The community.sanity.tools site is a special Sanity Studio instance where community members can contribute guides, tools, and other content. The permissions issue you're experiencing is a known situation that requires manual intervention from the Sanity team.

Based on a previous community answer about this exact issue, when users first access the Community Studio, sometimes the initial profile creation doesn't complete properly (especially if the page hangs or gets refreshed during setup), which can result in read-only access to everything, including your own profile.

Here's what you should do:

1. Join the Sanity Discord community - This is the best place to get help with community platform access issues
2. Report the issue - Let the team know you need write permissions for the Community Studio. Mention that you can't create guides or edit your profile
3. Be patient - In the previous case, it took a few days for the team to resolve the permissions, as the fix wasn't straightforward

The Sanity team will need to manually grant you the appropriate permissions to create contribution guides and edit your profile. This isn't something you can fix yourself through settings or by logging out/in.

Once your permissions are corrected, you'll be able to:

• Create new contribution guides
• Edit your profile and set your handle
• Add content with code blocks, images, and other rich media

In the meantime, if you already have your guide content written (like on your company blog), you can prepare it for quick copy-pasting once your access is restored. The Community Studio uses Portable Text for the main content field, which supports code blocks, images, YouTube/Twitter embeds, and callouts.
