Create GitHub App

[github-actions]

Before you start creating a deployer, you need to set-up credentials. Let's start with creating a GitHub app, so you can get and set variables and credentials, create and update issues, and register a GitHub runner to deploy the SAP environment.

This app needs the following repository permissions only for this repository:

• Administration: Read & Write (Setting up the GitHub Runner on the deployer VM)
• contents: Read & Write (Creating configuration files, and update workflow with deployer and library)
• Environments: Read & Write (Creating environments)
• Secrets: Read & Write (Used to store secrets in the first step, as there's no App configuration yet)
• Variables: Read & Write (Used to store variables in the first step, as there's no App configuration yet)
• Workflows: Read & Write (Creating configuration files, and update workflow with deployer and library)

1. You can use the following link to create the app requirements automagically: https://github.com/settings/apps/new?name=nnoaman-sap-on-azure&description=Used%20to%20create%20environments,%20update%20and%20create%20secrets%20and%20variables%20for%20your%20SAP%20on%20Azure%20Setup.&callback=false&request_oauth_on_install=false&public=true&actions=read&administration=write&contents=write&environments=write&issues=write&secrets=write&actions_variables=write&workflows=write&webhook_active=false&url=https://github.com/nnoaman/sap-automation-depoyer

2. Generate a private key

• Click on Generate a private key
• Save the private key in the repository secrets as APPLICATION_PRIVATE_KEY
• Save the App ID in the repository secrets as APPLICATION_ID

3. Install the app on the organization

• Click on Install App and select the organization where you want to deploy the SAP deployment.
• Select this (https://github.com/nnoaman/sap-automation-depoyer) repository to grant privileges to the app.

Note: If you don't have permissions in your organization, your organization administrator will receive a request to install the app.

When this is done, you can close this issue and create a new environment.
