Allow specified actions and reusable workflows not accessible from private repository

[brandonfl]

Hello,

Is that wanted that the feature that allow use to select specifieed actions into actions permissions are only available for private repositories ?

Here is an example :

• Public repository

• Private repository

I dont understand why this feature is not present into private repository 🤔

Thanks in advance,
BrandonFL

There are a bunch of features that aren't available to private repositories on free accounts. I'm pretty sure it's simply a sales decision, to encourage people to buy paid services. 😅

I have a PRO account and not a free one 😋

Huh, that baffled me, but it's actually documented behavior:

Note: The Allow specified actions and reusable workflows option is only available in public repositories with the GitHub Free, GitHub Pro, GitHub Free for organizations, or GitHub Team plan.

Weird.

strange 🤔
Thanks for the information 😄

I have opened a support ticket and will share the result. Maybe a bug

@brandonfl Did you ever get an answer? Two years later I just ran into this myself!
