Differentiating triggering actor from executing actor

July 19, 2022

Starting next week, workflow re-runs in GitHub Actions will use the initial run’s actor for privilege evaluation. The actor who triggered the re-run will continue to be displayed in the UI, and can be accessed in a workflow via the triggering_actor field in the github context.

Currently, the privileges (e.g. – secrets, permissions) of a run are derived from the triggering actor. This poses a challenge in situations where the actor triggering a re-run is different than the original executing actor. The upcoming change will differentiate the initial executing actor from the triggering actor, enabling the stable execution of re-runs.
