Limit What a Project Can Use

Choose the integration connections and repositories that a project's workflows and agents can use.

A project's access lists the integration connections its workflows and agents can use. For a GitHub or Gitea integration connection, it also lists the repositories they can reach.

Every project starts with access to every integration connection and every repository those integration connections can see. Limit a project when its workflows should only touch some of them.

Access limits what the project's workflows and agents can use. It does not limit which members can see or edit the project.

Before you begin

You need to be a workspace admin.

Limit the project

Open the access settings

Open the project, select Settings, then select Access.

Choose the integration connections

Select Only these connections, then check each integration connection the project needs. An integration connection you add to the workspace later is not included.

If the project's config is in one of your repositories, its integration connection is checked and you cannot remove it.

Choose the repositories

A checked GitHub or Gitea integration connection offers All repositories or Selected. To limit it, choose Selected, select Select repositories, and check each repository the project needs.

If the project's config is in one of your repositories, that repository is always included. It counts as the one repository that Selected needs.

Save

Select Save changes. If the change has side effects, Shipfox lists them first. Select Save access to confirm.

To remove every limit, select All connections and save.

Keep one repository per project

To give a project only its own repository:

  1. Select Only these connections.
  2. Keep the project's GitHub or Gitea integration connection checked, and leave the others unchecked.
  3. Choose Selected for it. If the project's config is in that repository, it is already listed. Otherwise, select it with Select repositories.
  4. Save.

What changes after you save

Access applies to the next request, including jobs that are already running.

  • A checkout of a repository outside the access fails.
  • An integration tool call outside the access fails, and the agent sees why.
  • Events from an integration connection or repository outside the access do not start the project's workflows or agents. Trigger history shows that project access filtered them.

Cron, manual, and Shipfox lifecycle triggers are not affected.

Warnings when you save

Shipfox asks you to confirm two kinds of change:

  • The default checkout changes. A project whose config Shipfox stores checks out a repository by default when its access lists exactly one GitHub or Gitea integration connection, limited to exactly one repository. A change that adds or removes that repository, or lists another GitHub or Gitea integration connection, changes what jobs check out when they don't set checkout.
  • The default project stops answering. The default project answers Slack and Linear requests that no other agent claims. If you remove that integration connection from its access, those requests get no answer.
