Metadata permissions

GitHub Apps have the Read-only metadata permission by default. The metadata permission provides access to a collection of read-only endpoints with metadata for various resources. These endpoints do not leak sensitive private repository information.

If you set the metadata permission to No access and select a permission that requires repository access, GitHub will override your selection and set the metadata permission back to Read-only. Setting all permissions that require repository access back to No access will allow you to set the metadata permission to No access.
