Review cohort team permissions in GitHub
Keep collaborative spaces usable without repeatedly auditing access by hand.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Check team permissions for a repository
Checks a team's permissions for a specific repository within an organization, including permissions inherited from parent teams.
Why this helps
Team permissions drift as cohorts change, leaving people blocked or over-permissioned without an obvious reminder.
- Catches access drift earlier
- Supports smoother cohort collaboration
- Creates a repeatable audit trail
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackboard and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to check the expected GitHub team permissions for repositories used by current Blackboard cohorts.
- 3Pick a recurring Notis cron trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one active cohort repository.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow change permissions?
This version checks permissions and reports mismatches; a separate instruction can request updates when appropriate.
Can current cohorts determine the scope?
Yes. Describe how Notis should identify active Blackboard cohorts and their repositories.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Blackboard to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
