…ived branches Taking a look at the [backport Action](https://github.com/grafana/grafana-github-actions/blob/main/backport/action.yml#L5). > GitHub token with issue, comment, and label read/write permissions It looks to be covered by the default permissions for [`GITHUB_TOKEN`](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/automatic-token-authentication#permissions-for-the-github_token). I'm guessing that the Action does require extra permissions since all other instances of the workflow are using PATs or apps but we can test this by merging this PR and trying a backport. Use of the workflow is documented in [Backport changes](https://grafana.com/docs/writers-toolkit/review/backporting/) although the documentation is pretty specific to Grafana, the workflow will behave similarly here.
