```

### owner

**Optional** `String` Owners name.

## FAQ 💬

  * ### Why do I get the error '*Resource not accessible by integration*'?

    This will happen if you use ```secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN```.

    You need to create a [personal access token](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token) instead.

    Go to your Github settings, select 'Developer settings' --> 'Personal access tokens' --> 'Tokens (classic)' and create a new token. Store its value in a secret, for example ```MY_TOKEN```.

    Then refer to it like this:

    

    ```yaml

    token: ${{ secrets.MY_TOKEN }}

    ```
