I want to update the registry record for a package hosted on [gitlab.com](http://gitlab.com) for which I have an owner role although the repo is not under my account. I have tried to do so via [juliahub.com](http://juliahub.com) but after I confirm OAuth access I am redirected to a blank page.

Should I be able to do that through JuliaHub with an owner access to repo? Or only the repo authors are able to register and update non-github packages?

Is your collaborator/group membership public? Registrator should be checking GitLab for that:

Yes, if my understanding of public membership is correct (I’m in the project members list [Members · ww ww / MolecularDynamicsFiles.jl · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/wewlad1954/MolecularDynamicsFiles.jl/-/project_members) which is visible to anyone).

To clarify, after I give Juliahub app the permissions, I get neither success _nor failure_ messages, just a blank page. I’m not sure if it’s a browser issue, a VPN issue or a Juliahub-Gitlab interaction issue.

I’ve managed to register the new version successfully from another computer but have no idea why exactly it worked.

I suspect you may have had a stale cookie from a prior version that may be getting in the way of auth; clearing JuliaHub’s cookies may get your first computer back up and running again too.

I tried to clear both JuliaHub and Gitlab cookies, as well as to run in different browsers and in incognito mode, all without result.  
One thing I did differently on the second computer was to reload after getting the blank page. Maybe that was the thing 🤷 But testing that hypothesis has to wait until next update.
