Clarify Permissions Calculation for Workflow Jobs in Documentation

Open Vikranth3140 opened this issue 8 months ago • 3 comments

Why:

Closes: Issue #32398

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

The documentation for "Automatic Token Authentication" is updated to clarify that the read-only adjustment applies to all pull request-related events triggered on a fork PR except for the pull_request_target event.

Updated Section:

Finally, if the workflow was triggered by a pull request from a forked repository, and the Send write tokens to workflows from pull requests setting is not selected, the permissions are adjusted to change any write permissions to read-only, except for the pull_request_target event. This applies to all pull request-related events, including pull_request_review.
