Short Answer:
Access is limited to the repos you selected during setup and by the connector’s permissions (OAuth scopes or GitHub App install settings). Open account details, note “Only selected repos are accessible.”, and review scopes/permissions and the Repositories accessed list.
Prerequisites
-
A GitHub connector appears under Settings > Connectors
-
You can open the GitHub account details dialog
Steps
-
Go to Settings > Connectors and open GitHub account details for your connector.
-
At the top, confirm the note “Only selected repos are accessible.”
-
Review Repositories accessed to see exactly which repos/branches are available.
-
Check OAuth scopes / App permissions to confirm repo access (e.g.,
repo/ read). -
If permissions were just changed, run a manual sync (Actions → Sync now) to refresh.
-
If needed, reauthorize with broader scopes or ask a GitHub org owner/admin to update the GitHub App installation to include additional repositories.
Troubleshooting
-
A required repo isn’t listed
-
LikelyCause: It wasn’t selected during App install/OAuth, or the connector lacks permission.
-
Action: Update the GitHub App installation to include that repo (owner/admin required) or reconnect with the required OAuth scopes, then Sync now.
-
-
OAuth scopes don’t include repo access
-
LikelyCause: The connector was authorized with limited scopes.
-
Action: Reauthorize the connector ensuring repo access (e.g.,
repo/ read). If managing many org repos, consider using the GitHub App with proper permissions.
-
Note: The account details dialog shows the exact text “Only selected repos are accessible.” and lists the current OAuth scopes/App permissions for that connector.
