I'm seeing a 'GitHub and dbt Cloud latest permissions' error

If you see the error This account needs to accept the latest permissions for the dbt Cloud GitHub App in dbt Cloud — this usually occurs when the permissions for the dbt Cloud GitHub App are out of date.

To solve this issue, you'll need to update the permissions for the dbt Cloud GitHub App in your GitHub account. Here's a couple of ways you can do it:

Update permissions

A Github organization admin will need to update the permissions in GitHub for the dbt Cloud GitHub App. If you're not the admin, reach out to your organization admin to request this. Alternatively, try disconecting your GitHub account in dbt Cloud.

1. Go directly to GitHub to determine if any updated permissions are required.
2. In GitHub, go to your organization Settings (or personal if using a non-organization account).
3. Then navigate to Applications to identify any necessary permission changes. For more info on GitHub permissions, refer to access permissions.

Disconnect GitHub

Disconnect the GitHub and dbt Cloud integration in dbt Cloud.

1. In dbt Cloud, go to Account Settings.
2. In Projects, select the project that's experiencing the issue.
3. Click the repository link under Repository.
4. In the Repository details page, click Edit.
5. Click Disconnect to remove the GitHub integration.
6. Go back to your Project details page and reconnect your repository by clicking the Configure Repository link.
7. Configure your repository and click Save

Disconnect your GitHub connection in the 'Repository details' page.
