* Before using the `actions-sync` tool, you must ensure that all destination organizations already exist on your enterprise instance. The following example demonstrates how to sync actions to an organization named `synced-actions` on an enterprise instance. For more information, see "[Creating a new organization from scratch](/organizations/collaborating-with-groups-in-organizations/creating-a-new-organization-from-scratch)."

* You must create a personal access token (PAT) on your enterprise instance that can create and write to repositories in the destination organizations. For more information, see "[Creating a personal access token](/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token)."

* If you want to sync the bundled actions in the `actions` organization on {% data variables.product.product_location %}, you must be an owner of the `actions` organization.

Site administrators can use the `ghe-org-admin-promote` command in the administrative shell to promote a user to be an owner of the bundled `actions` organization. For more information, see "[Accessing the administrative shell (SSH)](/admin/configuration/accessing-the-administrative-shell-ssh)" and "[`ghe-org-admin-promote`](/admin/configuration/command-line-utilities#ghe-org-admin-promote)."
