GitHub Actions concurrency matrix jobs same concurrency group cancel-in-progress behavior matrix
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the behavior of concurrency groups with matrix jobs depends on where the concurrency key is defined and how the group is scoped. When concurrency is defined at the workflow level, it governs the entire workflow run, including all jobs within that run [1][2]. If a new workflow run is triggered that shares the same concurrency group and cancel-in-progress is set to true, the entire previous workflow run is canceled, which includes all in-progress matrix jobs simultaneously [1][2]. When concurrency is defined at the job level, it applies only to that specific job [1][2]. If a matrix job is defined with a concurrency group, each matrix leg (each unique combination of the matrix) is treated as an individual job instance [3]. If these legs share the same concurrency group (e.g., if the group key is static or identical across all matrix variations), they will effectively be serialized—only one will run at a time, and cancel-in-progress: true will cause a new matrix leg to cancel an existing one in that same group [1][2]. Important implementation notes: 1. Scope Limitations: Workflow-level concurrency cannot use the matrix context because the matrix has not been evaluated at the workflow scope [4]. If you want to use matrix values to define a concurrency group, you must apply the concurrency key at the individual job level [1][4]. 2. Distinguishing Cancellation: It is important not to confuse concurrency cancellation with strategy.fail-fast [5][6]. By default, strategy.fail-fast: true causes all other matrix legs to be canceled immediately if any single leg fails [5][3]. This is independent of your concurrency settings [6]. To allow all matrix legs to finish regardless of failures, you should set strategy.fail-fast: false [5][6]. In summary, a matrix is simply a collection of jobs; a concurrency group acts on whatever jobs (or full workflows) are assigned to it. If multiple matrix legs fall into the same concurrency group, they will compete for that slot [1][2].

site:docs.github.com GitHub Actions jobs.<job_id>.concurrency matrix context expression
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, you can use the matrix context expression within the jobs.<job_id>.concurrency key to create dynamic concurrency groups [1][2][3]. When defining concurrency at the job level (jobs.<job_id>.concurrency), GitHub allows the use of expressions that include the matrix context [4][1][2]. This is particularly useful for controlling concurrency on a per-matrix-combination basis, such as ensuring that only one job runs for a specific operating system or environment configuration within a matrix, rather than globally for the entire job [1][3]. For example: jobs: example-job: strategy: matrix: os: [ubuntu-latest, windows-latest] concurrency: group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ matrix.os }} cancel-in-progress: true runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}... This configuration ensures that concurrency is scoped to the specific matrix variant (e.g., separate groups for ubuntu-latest and windows-latest) [1]. Important distinction: While the job-level concurrency key supports the matrix context, top-level (workflow-level) concurrency does not, as it is evaluated before matrix strategies are expanded [5][6]. Always ensure you are defining your concurrency key under jobs.<job_id>.concurrency to access matrix variables [4][1].

Limit cancellation to validated build jobs.
Move concurrency to build and include matrix.build.NAME in its group. Otherwise, matrix legs share one group and can cancel each other.
Add needs.build.result != 'cancelled' to the report condition.

GitHub REST API GET repository permissions for a user permission values role_name author_association official documentation
💡 Result:
To retrieve repository permissions for a user via the GitHub REST API, use the following endpoint: GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/collaborators/{username}/permission [1][2] This endpoint returns a JSON object containing the user's permission level, role name, and detailed permission flags. Permission and Role Data The response provides two primary ways to understand a user's access: 1. permission: This field represents the legacy base role of the user. It can take one of the following values: admin, write, read, or none [1][3][2]. Note that maintain is mapped to write, and triage is mapped to read [1][2]. 2. role_name: This field specifies the name of the assigned role, which includes standard roles and any custom roles configured for the repository [1][2]. Detailed Permissions The response also includes a permissions object that provides specific boolean flags for the user's access level [1][2]: - admin: Whether the user has admin permissions. - maintain: Whether the user has maintain permissions. - push: Whether the user has push (write) permissions. - triage: Whether the user has triage permissions. - pull: Whether the user has pull (read) permissions. Regarding author_association, this field is not part of the response for the Get repository permissions for a user endpoint [1][2]. The author_association field typically appears in objects related to issues, pull requests, comments, or repository-level metadata (e.g., when listing repository contributors), where it indicates the author's relationship to the repository (e.g., OWNER, COLLABORATOR, MEMBER, CONTRIBUTOR, FIRST_TIMER, FIRST_TIME_CONTRIBUTOR, NONE). [1][4][5] The calculated permissions returned by this API represent the effective access level of the collaborator after considering all sources of grants, including repository settings, teams, organization-level permissions, and enterprise-level settings [1][2].

site:docs.github.com REST repos collaborators username permission permission push triage maintain role_name author_association
💡 Result:
The GitHub REST API manages repository collaborator access through specific permission levels and role definitions [1][2]. Permission Levels GitHub repositories use a hierarchical set of base permissions that define a user's capabilities. From least to most access, these are: - pull (Read): Allows viewing and discussing the project [3]. - triage: Allows proactive management of issues, discussions, and pull requests without write access [3]. - push (Write): Allows active contribution and pushing to the repository [3]. - maintain: Allows project management tasks without access to sensitive or destructive actions [3]. - admin: Provides full access, including sensitive tasks like managing security settings or deleting the repository [3]. Technical API Response Attributes When interacting with the Collaborators or Repository endpoints, the API returns several key fields related to access and identity: - permission: A string representing the base permission level of a collaborator (pull, triage, push, maintain, or admin) [1][2]. Legacy API implementations often map maintain to write and triage to read [1][2]. - permissions: An object containing boolean values for each granular permission (admin, pull, triage, push, maintain), indicating whether the user possesses that specific access level [4][5][6]. - role_name: A string indicating the specific name of the assigned role [1]. This is the highest role assigned to the user after considering all sources of access (e.g., direct, team, organization, or enterprise membership) [1][2]. This field also supports custom repository roles defined by an organization [1][2]. - author_association: A string describing how the user relates to the repository or organization. Possible values include COLLABORATOR, CONTRIBUTOR, FIRST_TIMER, FIRST_TIME_CONTRIBUTOR, MANNEQUIN, MEMBER, NONE, and OWNER [4]. For organization-owned repositories, you can grant access by specifying one of the predefined roles (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin) or a custom role name [1][2]. Access for personal account repositories is generally limited to owner and collaborator (push) status [7].
