Machine User Account - department-of-veterans-affairs/abd-vro GitHub Wiki

The machine-user account for VRO is named abd-vro-machine. This machine-user account has been added to the VA's GitHub organization. (The only concern is the VA may kick this account out since there's no va.gov email address associated with it. The account is still active.)

This username will be seen in some GH Action workflow runs, e.g., for SecRel. This account is also used for generating kube configs.

PATs

The account as several PATs (personal access tokens):

• to comment on ticket 28 to keep the machine-user account active -- ticket #28 and PR #762
• for Dependabot PR checks so that the code can be built by Dependabot's PRs
• for pulling and deleting GHCR images

Email account

The account is associated with an outlook.com email address with username abd-vro. The credentials for the email and GitHub accounts is stored in LHDI's HashiCorp Vault -- see Secrets Vault.
