3. After submitting the request, you will be assigned to the SV as a member and receive an email with the next steps. The SV owner (and SV managers) will be notified automatically.

Any amount of co-workers can join your SV without having to register another project. You just need to provide them with the SV acronym and SV password. You'll receive this information via e-mail as soon as the SV application was successful.
