Githawk: Limited Permissions with GitHub 2FA

[SD10]

~After dismissing the users context menu, it shows the assignee added in the timeline view, then the add request errors out with a generic error from toast, and the assignee is removed from the timeline view.~

Logging in to a 2FA account through Safari does not allow me to assign users to issues.

Logging in using a personal access token with the repo and user scopes allows me to assign users on repos which I am a owner of (but not collaborator).

@SD10 able to debug in flex? Not happening for me

Looking into it. ~This error does not occur on the GitHawk test playground.~ It occurs for me on my MessageKit repo.

When trying to unassign myself from this issue, it shows SD10 unassigned SD10 locally but no changes persist on GitHub or after leaving the controller 😂

Sorry to spam but @rnystrom could it be that I enabled 2FA yesterday?

EDIT: Yep, logging in with a personal access token with the repo & user scope fixes part of the problem. I can modify all the repos I'm an admin of, but not things like GitHawk. Wonder what other scopes I need?

Dang that’s tricky. Maybe we need better alerting when you lose permissions for certain actions? I could imagine pulling my hair out over something like this.

Yeah, I haven’t had time to investigate but I’m going to try a personal access token with all options next. Not sure what effect that will have because the remaining options are unrelated to what I want to accomplish.

I find it perplexing that I would not have full permissions after logging in with safari + GitHub 2FA

Weird, as of today I’m able to perform write operations again without having changed anything. So glad I can finally start using GitHawk again 😍 Closing this
