Creating default permissions for all new repos within an org

[thaiknguyen]

I would like to set up an org where members of specific Teams are given default access to all repos (existing and any new repos created). I do not believe there's such a way to do this, and have created a script using the APIs to iterate through all existing repos and add the Team as Collaborators.. this works fine for existing repos, but I would like to ensure anyone creating new repos would also have the same permissions granted... namely, I have a Read-Only team, an Admin team, and a Write team, that I would like to be defaulted for the repos.

Other than having to run the script every so often, is there a better way to do this and set these repos up with the permissions by default? I do not believe a template repo fits this need, as it does not look like it would inherit the permissions.

Hi there @thaiknguyen - I'm looking into this to see if/what's possible for you - sit tight 😄

This is not something that is possible - but I've passed your ask along to our team that works on org and repo roles.

Thanks. Please let me now if the team has any suggestions, and also can you submit this as a feature request.

What you're doing with the API is probably the best work around - but yes when I passed this along to the team I did so as product feedback and added the appropriate label here.
