Token Permissions

[WindowsNT]

If I want my github app created from here to have access to Copilot SDK, which permissions must I request from the user?

From here I was able to generate a new fine-grained token and pass it to the Python SDK, but I can't find "Copilot Requests" in the first section.

Thanks for opening this issue, @WindowsNT!

I've labeled this as a question about SDK/Python and documentation since you're asking about GitHub App permissions required to use the Copilot SDK.

The SDK team will be able to provide guidance on the specific permissions needed for GitHub Apps vs. personal access tokens when using the Copilot SDK. In the meantime, you might want to check the authentication documentation in the Python SDK README or any setup guides available.

@WindowsNT It's in the account section (if you have defined a repository)
(Copilot Request not Copilot Editor Context hovered)

I don't see anything in "GitHub" apps like that.

It's in fine grained tokens of the account, you can't get the user copilot request from the app directly

That I already said I 've generated - the idea is to have my app get another user's token in order to use copilot via oauth. Like what copilot cli itself does on /auth.

@WindowsNT if you create an OAuth app on GitHub.com you can then add that to your app to enable sign-in through the device flow. When users sign-in, it will be their own Copilot subscription that is used. Here's a sample project with that already integrated: https://github.com/patniko/copilot-tokens and a guide here: https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/blob/main/docs/guides/setup/github-oauth.md

If you were referring to something else just let reopen the issue and let me know.
