## Info For Project Managers

### Can I use my own ODK Central instance?

Yes, you can. We understand in many cases users may already have
an instance of ODK Central (for example, at at organisational level),
so you may use your own server and credentials.

Please ensure the user credentials have 'Administrator' level permission,
else FMTM project creation will not work.

The credentials should be provided when requesting the creation of an
'Organisation' in FMTM.

Alternatively, you may request credentials for the HOT Global
[ODK Central Instance](https://odk.hotosm.org).
