# Register a Plugin with your Sigma Organization

> Register third-party plugins with your Sigma organization to add custom chart types and functionality to workbooks.

Sigma supports plugin elements in workbooks. Plugins are third-party applications built to add additional functionality into an existing product. For example, a software developer in your organization may create a plugin that allows you to display your data in a chart type not otherwise supported in Sigma. \
Organization members only have access to plugins registered with their organization.

## Requirements

* To register a plugin, you must have either an Admin account type or a custom account type that supports plugin developer feature permissions.
* The plugin should be hosted; you need to provide a production URL.

## Register a Plugin

1. Open the Admin Portal.
2. On the **Account** page, scroll to the **Custom Plugins** section.![Screen\_Shot\_2021-11-09\_at\_9.29.16\_AM.png](https://files.buildwithfern.com/sigma.docs.buildwithfern.com/bac45e83133a22d605ab19b4e6ae2ce08b53e654f148040efdfba07aa268df98/assets/docs-images/b3eac7b-2.png)
