Hi Sean, I see the "rerun" button on the "checks" page of GitHub from my login. We have a mix of both Azure Pipelines and GitHub Actions today, so I think it is important to see the "rerun" from GitHub view for Maintainers. This github page describes the feature, but not the permissions required. https://docs.github.com/en/actions/managing-workflow-runs/re-running-workflows-and-jobs We currently have EDK II Maintainer Team set to "Triage Role" permissions. From the table below, only "Write" and above are allowed to re-run. https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-user-access-to-your-organizations-repositories/repository-roles-for-an-organization#permissions-for-each-role "Write" permissions add a lot of options, so I think we should discuss tradeoffs in the next Tools/CI meeting. One option is to add a bot based on a new label to request failed jobs to be re-run. The bot can use a token with permissions to re-run.

I only see the button in the azure pipeline which would mean maintainers would need to be "contributors" in the azure DevOps organization/project. I have no problem with that and it looks like you can sign in with a GitHub account so it should just be a matter of collecting the email address associated with their GitHub and inviting them to join. We only get 5 free basic users but we get unlimited free "stakeholder" accounts. I assume we might need basic accounts to interact with the pipeline stuff but I don't know for sure. Anyone who has paid Microsoft visual studio subscriptions (like from an employer) usually doesn't count towards the 5. Regardless for those actively contributing and interested we should add them up to the limit. This was one of the reasons we had desired long term to align on GitHub build services instead. Other thoughts?

I think it is reasonable for all Maintainers to have that available.

Mike? I am reluctant to make unnecessary changes to the state of the branch just to trick the CI into having another go at it.
