I get a lot of error messages that “compat helpers failed” lately. See for example:  
[https://github.com/aenarete/KiteSimulators.jl/actions/runs/2599806644](https://github.com/aenarete/KiteSimulators.jl/actions/runs/2599806644)

```julia
{"message":"GitHub Actions is not permitted to create or approve pull requests.","documentation_url":"https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/pulls#create-a-pull-request"}""", HTTP.ExceptionRequest.StatusError(403, "POST", "/repos/aenarete/KiteSimulators.jl/pulls", HTTP.Messages.Response:
"""
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Server: GitHub.com

```

What am I doing wrong?

I found these settings:

in the repository settings, but I cannot check the checkbox “Allow…”, it is disabled.

Solved the issue. The repository is part of an organization, and I had to change the setting under Settings-\>Actions-\>General of the organization. 🙂
