Permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN
For information about the API endpoints GitHub Apps can access with each permission, see Für GitHub-Apps erforderliche Berechtigungen.
When a workflow is triggered by the pull_request_target event, the GITHUB_TOKEN is granted read/write repository permission, even when it is triggered from a public fork. For more information, see Ereignisse zum Auslösen von Workflows.
Die Ausführung von Workflows, die von Dependabot-Pull Requests ausgelöst werden, erfolgt wie bei einem geforkten Repository und nutzt dementsprechend ein schreibgeschütztes GITHUB_TOKEN. Diese Workflowausführungen können nicht auf Geheimnisse zugreifen. Informationen zu Strategien zum Schützen dieser Workflows findest du unter Sicherheitshärtung für GitHub Actions.
The following table shows the permissions granted to the GITHUB_TOKEN by default. People with admin permissions to an organization or repository can set the default permissions to be either permissive or restricted. For information on how to set the default permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN for your enterprise, organization, or repository, see Erzwingen von Richtlinien für GitHub Actions in deinem Unternehmen, GitHub Actions für deine Organisation Deaktivieren oder Einschränken, or Verwalten von GitHub Actions-Einstellungen für ein Repository.

How permissions are calculated for a workflow job
The permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN are initially set to the default setting for the enterprise, organization, or repository. If the default is set to the restricted permissions at any of these levels then this will apply to the relevant repositories. For example, if you choose the restricted default at the organization level then all repositories in that organization will use the restricted permissions as the default. The permissions are then adjusted based on any configuration within the workflow file, first at the workflow level and then at the job level. Finally, if the workflow was triggered by a pull request from a forked repository, and the Send write tokens to workflows from pull requests setting is not selected, the permissions are adjusted to change any write permissions to read only.
