Triage role can bypass issue creation restrictions

UpdateVerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

If your repository restricts issue creation to collaborators only, users with the triage role can now create issues. Previously, the restricted setting only allowed users with write access to create issues. With this update, trusted contributors with the triage role are also included.
