GitHub error 403 undefined

Hey, i found the solution.
In the repository settings, go to Actions -> General

Allow Read and Write Permissions for Github Workflows and save changes.
If your repository is from an organization you will have to do an extra step, go to Organization Settings -> Actions -> General

Same error :(

Can confirm that adding this to YAML is enough:

    permissions:
      contents: write

It is not necessary to manually edit the permissions in the GitHub UI.

Same here:

Here is one solution. Or look into one of the other open 403 Error issues in this repo.

You should also be able to specify that in the job with permissions such as

create-release:
    name: Create draft release
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions: 
      contents: write
    steps:
      - name: Create Release
        uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v1

# rest of code here

Both parts are required:

1. Workflow permissions - suggested by @estebanfern
   #400 (comment)

2. Configuring the permissions at the workflow file
   permissions:
contents: write
   , suggested by @eggsy84

@koss110 - I don't think you need both - it's more like you need either.

You can enable write permissions for all workflows in a repo or organization via the Settings->Actions->General GUI option.

You can enable write permissions for one workflow via the contents: write permission in the .yaml file.

In the past the default option was read/write, but it changed about a year ago. See this for more details: https://github.blog/changelog/2023-02-02-github-actions-updating-the-default-github_token-permissions-to-read-only/
