Granular Permissions for Repository Secrets and Variables #1270

@glider-bot

Description

@glider-bot

Value Prop

You can now assign permissions for managing repository secrets and variables without giving full write access to your repository. This makes it easy to control who can create, update, or delete sensitive credentials, so your team can collaborate securely while keeping important information protected.

Expected Outcome

By separating secrets and variables management from general write access, organizations can better enforce least-privilege access and reduce the risk of accidental or unauthorized changes to sensitive data. This helps teams maintain strong security and compliance standards without disrupting their regular development workflows.
