Body

Hi, the following API endpoint for creating a fork mentions that it works with GitHub Apps:
https://docs.github.com/en/rest/repos/forks?apiVersion=2022-11-28#create-a-fork

However, when I'm passing the GitHub app's access token to this endpoint, it is returning the following error:
{ "message": "Resource not accessible by integration", "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/repos#create-a-fork" }

Is it possible to fork a repository by passing GitHub App's access token and not authenticated user's personal access token?

It worked after updating the permissions and re-installing the app.
