Why can't I link my artifact to the Registry?

If you can’t link an artifact to a W&B Registry, the most common cause is that the artifact was logged with a personal entity instead of a team entity. You can only link artifacts logged within an organization’s team to the organization’s Registry. This page explains how to log artifacts under a team entity so that you can link them to the Registry, and what to do if you already logged an artifact under a personal entity.

Log artifacts with a team entity

To make an artifact eligible for linking to the Registry, you must log it under a team entity that belongs to your organization. Specify your team as the entity when you initialize a run.

Replace [TEAM-ENTITY], [PROJECT-NAME], [ARTIFACT-NAME], and [TYPE] with values for your team, project, and artifact:

import wandb

with wandb.init(entity="[TEAM-ENTITY]", project="[PROJECT-NAME]") as run:
    artifact = wandb.Artifact(name="[ARTIFACT-NAME]", type="[TYPE]")
    # Add files and log the artifact

If you don’t specify entity, the run uses your default entity, which might be your personal account.

Find your team entity

Your team entity is the same as your team name. To confirm it, navigate to your team’s W&B profile page. The URL has the form https://wandb.ai/[TEAM], where [TEAM] is your team entity.

Re-log artifacts logged to a personal entity

If you already logged an artifact to your personal entity, re-log it to a team entity within your organization.
