[Error] Permission denied to github-actions[bot]

[albert-marrero]

Hello Everyone,

The workflow I am having an issue can be found here. The goal of the workflow is setting up Python 3.11, installing a specific Python package, running that package that produces a JSON file in a specfic directory, checking out the repo, moving the JSON file into a specific directory and pushing the code.

However, I am getting the following error:

remote: Permission to albert-marrero/Yu-Gi-Oh-Data.git denied to github-actions[bot].

I have checked workflow permissions under settings -> actions -> general, and the workflow have read and write permissions. I am currently at a lost with this issue and wanted to reach out to the community for help. Also, I have attached a screenshot of the error in this discussion.

The problem was I had only read-only permission set up in the workflow. Once I took it out, it worked as intended.

Hi Albert,
I am hitting the same issue as yours Today. In your description, you said "I have checked workflow permissions under settings -> actions -> general, and the workflow have read and write permissions.", but the root cause you have found is "The problem was I had only read-only permission set up in the workflow. ", So how exactly your issue is resolved ? I have this set to be read & write permissions on both repo, but the issue stays.

Thanks,

Jack
