### Considering cross-repository access

{% data variables.product.product_name %} is intentionally scoped for a single repository at a time. The `GITHUB_TOKEN` grants the same level of access as a write-access user, because any write-access user can access this token by creating or modifying workflow files. Users have specific permissions for each repository, so having the `GITHUB_TOKEN` for one repository grant access to another would impact the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} permission model if not implemented carefully. Similarly, caution must be taken when adding {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} authentication tokens to a workflow, because this can also affect the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} permission model by inadvertently granting broad access to collaborators.

We have [a plan on the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} roadmap](https://github.com/github/roadmap/issues/74) to support a flow that allows cross-repository access within {% data variables.product.product_name %}, but this is not yet a supported feature. Currently, the only way to perform privileged cross-repository interactions is to place a {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} authentication token or SSH key as a secret within the workflow. Because many authentication token types do not allow for granular access to specific resources, there is significant risk in using the wrong token type, as it can grant much broader access than intended.

If your project site is published from a private or internal repository that's owned by an organization using {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}, you can manage access control for the site. With access control, you can choose to publish the site publicly to anyone on the internet or privately to people with read access to your repository. A privately published site can be used to share your internal documentation or knowledge base with members of your enterprise. You cannot manage access control for an organization site. For more information about the types of {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %} sites, see "[About GitHub Pages](/github/working-with-github-pages/about-github-pages#types-of-github-pages-sites)."

Privately published sites are available at a different subdomain than publicly published sites. You can see your site's URL in the repository settings. If you're using a static site generator configured to build the site with the repository name as a path, you may need to update the settings for the static site generator when changing the site to private. For more information, see "[Configuring Jekyll in your {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %} site](/github/working-with-github-pages/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site#configuring-a-subdomain)" or the documentation for your static site generator.

Privately published sites are available at a different subdomain than publicly published sites. This ensures that your {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %} site is secure from the moment it's published:
15+
16+
- We automatically secure every subdomain of `*.pages.github.io` with a TLS certificate, and enforce HSTS to ensure that browsers always serve the page over HTTPS.
17+
- We use a unique subdomain for the private page to ensure that other repositories in your organization cannot publish content on the same origin as the private page. This protects your private page from "[cookie tossing](https://github.blog/2013-04-09-yummy-cookies-across-domains/)". This is also why we don't host {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %} sites on the `github.com` domain.
18+
19+
You can see your site's unique subdomain in the pages tab of your repository settings. If you're using a static site generator configured to build the site with the repository name as a path, you may need to update the settings for the static site generator when changing the site to private. For more information, see "[Configuring Jekyll in your {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %} site](/github/working-with-github-pages/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site#configuring-a-subdomain)" or the documentation for your static site generator.
20+
21+
To use a shorter and more memorable domain for your private {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %} site, you can configure a custom domain. For more information, see "[Configuring a custom domain for your {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %} site](/github/working-with-github-pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site)."
