# ChatOps on GitLab.com
ChatOps on GitLab.com allows GitLab team members to run various automation tasks on GitLab.com using Slack.
## Requesting access
GitLab team-members may need access to ChatOps on GitLab.com for administration
tasks such as:
- Configuring feature flags.
- Running `EXPLAIN` queries against the GitLab.com production replica.
- Get deployment status of all of our environments or for a specific commit: `/chatops run auto_deploy status [commit_sha]`
To request access to ChatOps on GitLab.com:
1. Sign in to [Internal GitLab for Operations](https://ops.gitlab.net/users/sign_in)
with one of the following methods:
- The same username you use on GitLab.com. You may have to choose a different
username later.
- Clicking the **Sign in with Google** button to sign in with your GitLab.com email address.
1. Confirm that your username in [Internal GitLab for Operations](https://ops.gitlab.net/)
is the same as your username in [GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com/). If the usernames
don't match, update the username in [User Settings/Account for the Ops instance](https://ops.gitlab.net/-/profile/account).
1. Comment in your onboarding issue, and tag your onboarding buddy and your manager.
Request they add you to the `ops` ChatOps project by running this command
in the `#chat-ops-test` Slack channel, replacing `<username>` with your username:
`/chatops run member add <username> gitlab-com/chatops --ops`
```plaintext
Hi <__BUDDY_HANDLE__> and <__MANAGER_HANDLE__>, could you please add me to
the ChatOps project in Ops by running this command:
`/chatops run member add <username> gitlab-com/chatops --ops` in the
`#chat-ops-test` Slack channel? Thanks in advance.
```
1. Ensure you've set up two-factor authentication.
1. After you're added to the ChatOps project, run this command to check your user
status and ensure you can execute commands in the `#chat-ops-test` Slack channel:
```plaintext
/chatops run user find <username>
```
The bot guides you through the process of allowing your user to execute
commands in the `#chat-ops-test` Slack channel.
1. If you had to change your username for GitLab.com on the first step, make sure
[to reflect this information](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com#adding-yourself-to-the-team-page)
on [the team page](https://about.gitlab.com/company/team/).
