Macro says none of my accounts have access, but I am certain I do
What you are seeing
The macro says none of your accounts have access, but you are certain you do.
#Why it happens
This is very likely GitHub rate limiting. GitHub turns requests away when too many arrive, and Capable shows any 403 response from GitHub as a no-access message. Capable does not detect rate limits, retry or back off.
#What to do
Wait a few minutes, then press Refresh. If it keeps happening, use fewer GitHub macros on a single page, because every macro fetches its file again each time the page is viewed.
#Settings involved
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Hide GitHub across the whole site | Not on a settings screen | Hides Github site-wide, but only the byline. Existing Github macros still show on pages. |
Turn GitHub on or off per space | Not on a settings screen | Turning Github off hides the byline in that space. Turning it on shows the byline even on pages with no Github file. Again, this is the byline only. Macros still show. |
Unlicensed and anonymous access | Not configurable | Readers outside your licence, or not logged in, can still see files from public repositories in a read-only view. They do not see the Github byline. |
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Image height | 800 pixels | Images in the macro show up to 800 pixels tall. |
Code viewer height | 600 pixels | The code viewer is at most 600 pixels tall. |
