Before you connect your GitHub repository to your CloudBees CodeShip account, you’ll need to make sure that the proper permissions and access have been granted.
Permissions
If you are setting up a new project, then you will first need to install the CodeShip GitHub app on your GitHub organization. This app will be used to access your repositories. Once the app is installed, make sure that it has access to the repository that you want to use in your project.
The CodeShip GitHub app will ask for the following permissions:
-
Read your code
-
Read your GitHub organization metadata (this is a default behavior managed by GitHub)
-
Read and write access to administer your project and set commit status (this is necessary to update the commit status)
The default permissions allow us to see what resources you have access to (like which organizations you’re connected to, and if they have the CodeShip app installed). These permission requirements are managed by GitHub and therefore we can’t reduce the level of access required for CodeShip to operate properly.
