 #### environment variables

-The following are *required* as `step.env` keys
-
-| Name           | Description                          |
-|----------------|--------------------------------------|
-| `GITHUB_TOKEN` | GITHUB_TOKEN as provided by `secrets`|
-| `GITHUB_REPOSITORY` | Name of a target repository in `<owner>/<repo>` format. defaults to the current repository|
+The following `step.env` keys are allowed as a fallback but deprecated in favor of using inputs.

+| Name                | Description                                                                                |
+| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `GITHUB_TOKEN`      | GITHUB_TOKEN as provided by `secrets`                                                      |
+| `GITHUB_REPOSITORY` | Name of a target repository in `<owner>/<repo>` format. defaults to the current repository |

 > **⚠️ Note:** This action was previously implemented as a Docker container, limiting its use to GitHub Actions Linux virtual environments only. With recent releases, we now support cross platform usage. You'll need to remove the `docker://` prefix in these versions

+### Permissions
+
+This Action requires the following permissions on the GitHub integration token:
+
+```yaml
+permissions:
+  contents: write
+```
+
+When used with `discussion_category_name`, additional permission is needed:
+
+```yaml
+permissions:
+  contents: write
+  discussions: write
+```
+
+[GitHub token permissions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/automatic-token-authentication#permissions-for-the-github_token) can be set for an individual job, workflow, or for Actions as a whole.
+
+Note that if you intend to run workflows on the release event (`on: { release: { types: [published] } }`), you need to use
+a personal access token for this action, as the [default `secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN` does not trigger another workflow](https://github.com/actions/create-release/issues/71).
