Our idea is to add separate permission_* parameters for each permission supported by GitHub Apps: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/permissions-required-for-github-apps

The permission_* keys can be generated based off https://github.com/octokit/app-permissions. Each time a new version of @octokit/app-permissions is released, the action.yml could be updated, in order to keep permissions always up-to-date. The README.md should be updated as well to make sure the documentation is up-to-date as well. Most permissions can be set to read or write, some can also be set to admin.

Having separate permissions has the benefit of code intelligence and errors shown directly on GitHub when an unknown permission is set due to a typo.

@octokit/app-permissions has a new release that I've been waiting for, it fixes a lot of incorrect and missing permissions: https://github.com/octokit/app-permissions/releases/tag/v2.0.0.

@parkerbxyz @gr2m is still being worked on?

yes, we just don't have much time for it and had to prioritize https://github.com/actions/create-github-app-token/pull/143.

We started to work on a script that auto-updates the action.yml file to add all supported permissions as separate input variables, so that you get the full benefit of type checking in your dev environment and on github.com: https://github.com/actions/create-github-app-token/pull/168
