GitHub Apps can now review secret scanning push protection bypass and alert dismissal requests

You can now grant permissions to GitHub Apps to review secret scanning push protection bypass requests and alert dismissal requests. This makes it easier for organizations to set up automated workflows to approve or deny specific secret or alert dismissal types, reducing overhead and speeding up response times.

Add these permissions to your GitHub App within the Permissions & events tab of your app settings.
