varunsh-coder opened a new pull request, #2926:
URL: https://github.com/apache/accumulo/pull/2926

   ### Description
   This PR adds minimum token permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN in GitHub Actions workflows using https://github.com/step-security/secure-workflows. 
   
   GitHub Actions workflows have a GITHUB_TOKEN with `write` access to multiple scopes. 
   Here is an example of the permissions in one of the workflows:
   https://github.com/apache/accumulo/runs/8277621128?check_suite_focus=true#step:1:19
   
   After this change, the scopes will be reduced to the minimum needed for each workflow. 
   
   ### Motivation and Context
   
   - This is a security best practice, so if the GITHUB_TOKEN is compromised due to a vulnerability or compromised Action, the damage will be reduced. 
   - GitHub recommends defining minimum GITHUB_TOKEN permissions. 
   https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/automatic-token-authentication#modifying-the-permissions-for-the-github_token
   - The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) [Scorecards](https://github.com/ossf/scorecard) also treats not setting token permissions as a high-risk issue. This change will help increase the Scorecard score for this repository.
