Additional information

Both articles are linked from https://docs.github.com/en/developers/overview/managing-deploy-keys#deploy-keys:

Deploy keys with write access can perform the same actions as an organization member with admin access, or a collaborator on a personal repository. For more information, see "Repository roles for an organization" and "Permission levels for a user account repository."

@jsoref Thanks so much for opening an issue! I'll triage this for the team to review :eyes:

👋 @jsoref Sorry for the abysmally long response time, it looks like this one got a little lost! Since we document those permissions in https://docs.github.com/en/developers/overview/managing-deploy-keys#deploy-keys, you or anyone else are welcome to open a PR to add those permissions to the table!

@janiceilene: thanks.

1. I looked and it appears I'm a collaborator to someone else's repository, and I can't see an edit tab, so I'm going to assume it's limited to owners.

2. I can't actually find a good page for manage webhooks. The manage deploy keys page is really for managing deploy keys not webhooks. -- There's a reusable, https://github.com/github/docs/blob/main/data/reusables/sponsors/manage-existing-webhooks.md but it's all sorts of strange (it's a "sponsors" webhook ...).

Setting up content for "manage webhooks" is well beyond the scope of this issue and way more work than I have the energy to produce. I'm going to naively copy the content from the other page and leave splitting out (and updating both pages) for someone else...

As discussed, I've raised an internal issue for your feedback on the need for an article about managing webhooks. It will be triaged and prioritised alongside our other work.
