I recently set up a GPT-5 agent (Plus account level) connection to a private GitHub repo (personal account, not enterprise) and have the agent successfully reading from the repo. However, the agent states that it can’t create a PR because it doesn’t have write access. When I look at the ChatGPT Codex Connector configuration in GitHub I see that it has, under Permissions, “Read and write access to actions, code, issues, pull requests, and workflows” and I see that the repo in question is in the list of selected repos. I’ve tried removing the connector and starting from scratch but keep running into this same issue.
What am I missing?
