Update GitHub team repository permissions from Checkvist

Keep team access changes aligned with the decisions in your operating checklist.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Add or update team repository permissions

Sets or updates a team's permission level for a repository within an organization; the team must be a member of the organization.

Why this helps

Permission updates are easy to miss when access planning lives outside GitHub.

  • Keeps team access current
  • Reduces repeated admin work
  • Makes permission changes reportable

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Checkvist and GitHub in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation that applies the approved team, organization, repository, and permission level named in the Checkvist task.
  • 3Choose a notis_cron trigger and set the access review schedule.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with one team permission change.

Questions about this workflow

Which permission levels are supported?

The GitHub action supports read, write, or admin for the team repository permission.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Checkvist and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
