Labeler workflow requires read & write workflow permissions

[Haasie]

After the first updates provided by renovate bot i was experiencing errors with the Meta labeler action on GH.
The error said "Resource not accessible by integration".

After some searched it seems that you need to provide read/write access for those actions in order to do there "job"

Maybe worth mentioning in the Docs 😄

I believe this was done in 8875a8b

This doesn't automatically work, I cloned the repo yesterday and had to apply the permission fix myself to get the Action working 🤔 It failed until I gave it "Read and write permissions", which by default had "Read repository contents and packages permissions"

Interesting, I'll reopen the issue and hopefully someone can provide a better fix.

I just made this change which is documented here. If this doesn't fix it I am unsure why it is failing.

Unfortunately it didn't work on my newly created (test) repo: https://github.com/giannoug/test/actions/runs/7171702379 (repo will be deleted soon, posting the error below for future reference)

That's unfortunate, I'm not sure how to solve this without clicking thru that config :/

If anyone else comes across this issue and is not actually sure how to fix it.

1. In Github, go into your Repository
2. Click "Settings" in the top menu
3. In the new left menu scroll down until you see "Actions" and expand that menu
4. Click "General"
5. Scroll down under these settings until you find: "Workflow permissions"
6. Set Permissions to "Read and Write Permissions" and click "Save".
7. In the top menu, Click "Actions"
8. In the left Menu click "Label Sync"
9. On the right side of the screen click the drop down "Run Workflow"
10. Click the blue button "Run Workflow"
11. After a few seconds you should see a new run of this action and it should pass
