Every extension or integration, including those from Microsoft, must have a publisher. Anyone can create a publisher and publish extensions under it. You can also share publisher access with other users, such as your development team.

  1. Sign in to the Visual Studio Marketplace Publishing Portal.

  2. If you aren't part of an existing publisher, select + Create a publisher.
    Enter a publisher name; the ID field autofills based on your entry.

    [!NOTE]

    • Ensure your publisher name is within 16 characters for multibyte characters.
    • Save the publisher ID—you need it in your extension's manifest file.

    If you aren't prompted to create a publisher, scroll to Publish extensions under Related sites.

    • Set a unique publisher identifier, such as mycompany-myteam. Use this value for the publisher attribute in your manifest.
    • Set a display name, such as My Team.

  3. Review the Marketplace Publisher Agreement, then select Create.

After you create the publisher, you can manage items, although no items appear until you publish.
