    Hi Glenn, sounds like you might have a "Stoplight Web Project" vs a "GIT Project" The Stoplight hosted projects are saved/hosted within Stoplight without a connection to your GIT repo and thus do not need the service account settings, whereas a GIT Project is connected to your GIT Repo. Have a look at this page for creating/importing projects... When you create a GIT project, you should have the ability to see the Version Control Service Account on the project settings page.

    Sorry, this time with the link: https://meta.stoplight.io/docs/platform/projects/add-projects
