What role is required to change a repository's code scanning severity threshold that fails a pull request status check?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

To change the threshold that defines whether a pull request fails due to code scanning alerts (such as blocking merges based on severity), the user must have Admin access on the repository. This is because modifying these settings falls under repository configuration privileges.

Users with Write, Maintain, or Triage roles do not have the required access to modify rulesets or status check policies.

Nope, it's definitely not Triage.

Admin makes sense, but what if you have custom roles?

If I recall correctly, only Admins can change those settings, but I could be mixing it up with another topic we covered.

I feel like I've seen a similar question before, and it was about the Write role, but that seems too limited for changing severity thresholds.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about the Triage role having some permissions related to managing checks.

I think it might be the Admin role since they usually have full control over repository settings.

I think the key here is understanding the different GitHub roles and their associated permissions. Based on the options provided, my best guess would be the "Maintain" role, as that seems to align with the ability to change security-related settings.

I'm a bit unsure on this one. The options seem to indicate it could be either the "Maintain" or "Admin" role, but I'm not totally sure which one would have the specific permissions needed.

Okay, let's see. The question is asking about the role needed to change a repository's code scanning severity threshold. I'm guessing that would require some kind of administrative or maintenance-level access.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the different GitHub roles and which one would have the required permissions.

D) Admin - That's the obvious answer, you'd need to be an admin to change the security settings.

I agree with Nan, Admin makes sense for changing severity threshold.
