Review Permissions for the "Issue Trigger" workflow
Overview
We need to change the permissions for the default GITHUB_TOKEN from read/write to read only per GitHub's recommendation for security best practice.
Action Items
Open file issue-trigger.yml.
- [x] Near the top of the file immediately before the line
jobs:insert:# Set defaults for GITHUB_TOKEN permissions: contents: read issues: read - [x] Trigger the workflow to confirm whether it runs with no further changes.
If there are errors:
- [x] Check which step of the workflow failed occurred and the reason for the failure in the workflow logs.
- [x] Research which permissions the API action requires. Many of the actions need
issues: write, so you can changeissues: readtoissues: writeon the line above and rerun. - [x] Continue adding permissions back to the workflow until there are no errors.
Note that any workflow steps that include a personal access token (i.e. HACKFORLA_BOT_PA_TOKEN, etc.) do not need any changes.
