Releasesby IbisGitHub check re-runs now run as the user who clicked Re-run
UpdateyesterdayUnverifiedAdded Oct 24, 2026
When you re-run a workflow from a GitHub check, CircleCI now attributes the re-run to the CircleCI user who clicked Re-run, not the user who started the original workflow. This matches how re-running from the CircleCI web app already works. Contexts, security groups and permissions are checked against the user who requested the re-run.
