Zenhub is now requesting access to see which GitHub organizations you belong to that we can improve issue types, GitHub Projects & collaborator workflow interoperability. Next time you login to Zenhub via GitHub you will be prompted to accept new permission scopes.
What new permission is being requested
Zenhub is now asking for "Read-only access" for Organizations and teams in GitHub.
Why is this permission needed now?
It's been 11 years since we've made a change to the GitHub permissions that Zenhub needs. In those years, GitHub has evolved to add support for sub-issues, granular organization membership, and released an entirely new version of GitHub Projects.
What exactly is this permission going to be used for?
- Allows Zenhub to better view and manage GitHub issue types.
- Allow Zenhub to support import/export for GitHub Projects.
- Allows Zenhub to view GitHub organizations you are a collaborator in.
What if I have more questions about this change?
Feel free to reach out to us via support@zenhub.com if you have any concerns.
