ADF-GitHub integration - Unable to import resources with a GitHub organization repository

Question

When I attempt to add GitHub integration to my Azure Data Factory and had the "Import existing Data Factory resources" checked, I got this error message, "You don't have permission to import resource to the repository, please resolve the permissions in GitHub".

I'm attempting to integrate with a GitHub organization. I'm an owner of the GitHub organization and an admin on the repository. I am not using GitHub Enterprise.

1. I have been successful linking to a repository inside my personal GitHub account.
2. I have not been successful linking to a repository inside a GitHub organization I am an owner of. In this case I'm using the organization name as my GitHub Account in Repository Settings. I get the following error: "You don't have permission to import resource to the repository, please resolve the permissions in GitHub"

Is this a limitation/issue in ADF?
Can I not use an organization with a personal GitHub account?
Is there some other GitHub setting in the organization I'm missing?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi @Brian Barnett ,

Just received a confirmation from ADF product team that this is limitation and linking to a repository inside a GitHub organization is not supported currently. I have already shared this feedback with them and an internal work item is opened to review further.

I would recommend you to please do share your feedback/suggestion in ADF user voice forum: https://feedback.azure.com/forums/270578-azure-data-factory All the feedback shared in this forum are actively monitored and reviewed by ADF engineering team. Please do share the feedback link once it is posted so that others with similar idea can up-vote and comment on your suggestion which would increase the priority of feature implementation.

Hope this info helps.

Thank you

@Brian Barnett ,

This is supported. You basically have to request access from your organization in the Applications tab of your GitHub settings as shown here:
