# Requesting Additional GitHub Permissions

> Give Investigations the GitHub access it needs to help pinpoint the code change behind an incident.

[Investigations](https://incident.io/investigations) requests an additional permission on your GitHub app: **Contents: Read**.

This powers Investigations' ability to find problematic code changes that might've caused an incident, and suggest them in the incident channel as a possible root cause. To do that well, it needs to see the contents of pull requests.

**You don't have to accept the new permissions**

If you don't want to accept this new permission, it's completely fine to deny the request.

Your GitHub integration will not be affected in any way - it will work just like it does now!

If you have any questions at all, please drop us a line at [support@incident.io](mailto:support@incident.io).
