{ % raw % } To improve GitHub Actions migration support , the Buildkite GitHub App now requests read-only access to Actions , Variables , and Environments . These permissions let Buildkite inspect configuration that affects how workflows and deployments run—including configuration variables referenced through ${ { vars.* } } , secret names (not secret values), deployment protection rules, and deployment branch policies—so migrated pipelines can preserve existing behavior and safeguards. All three permissions are read-only; Buildkite will not modify Actions workflows, variables, or environments. { % endraw % }
