Problems with Pull Requests

[Koubek]

Hello Freddy,

We are experiencing problems with Pull Requests being created during the execution of actions:

pull request create failed: GraphQL: GitHub Actions is not permitted to create or approve pull requests (createPullRequest)

I have found some (hopefully relevant) issues that could correspond:
cli/cli#1820
cli/cli#1985

We are currently using GitHub in trial mode (GitHub Enterprise Cloud trial) as we are basically exploring possibilities. Not sure if this could correspond somehow but I saw something similar (some limitations) when were checking GitLab in trial mode.

In your repository, Settings -> Actions -> General, what do you see under workflow permissions:

and what workflows do you have the problem in?
Also - what version of the actions are you using?

Sorry I haven't provided these details:

• We run on hosted (default) agents. We currently don't use the trial self-hosted agents.
• We use the latest version of actions.
• I can see the problem was that Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests was disabled on the organization level and then inactive also on the repo level.

I will check this again and let you know. Thanks a lot!!!

I can confirm going to the organization level and activation of Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests made the trick. It's working fine now.

Again, thanks for your quick help!
